Why Does Hair Frizz After Being Curled with a Hot Iron?

What Causes Hair The Become Frizzy When Hot Ironed

During the styling procedure or even just a few precious hours after setting them this hot tool often leads to hair becoming frizzy. It is caused by too much heat being applied to the hair strands, certain environmental or even the working of the tool itself. Over time one can quickly learn how to avoid this problem and be able to understand the causes clearly helping you get longer wear out of your curls. So here are some of the reasons why hot ironed curls become frizzy and how one can control it.


1. Hot Tools Damage

Most commonly, hot tools such as curling irons can cause hot damage to the hair making it frizz. The boiling heat resets and repositions the bond that allows your hair to curl. Although, too much heat will rapidly cause hair to lose its moisture which in turn can lead to the cuticle getting removed.

Effects Of Heat Damage On Hair:

  • Heat Affected Cuticles: The increased roughness of the hair accompanied by a raised cuticle can allow for deeper moisture penetration, which is cuticle exposure becoming wavy or downright frizzy.
  • Excessive Dryness: Hair naturally has moisture but using a curling iron will evaporate that moisture and make it dry. Damaged and dry hair will lack hydration, thus are more likely to become frizzy.
  • Destruction of Hair Protein Diagenesis: Eventually, frizz, split ends, and even breakage become possibilities when the protein structure within the hair weakens due to too much temperature.

By doing the following: intent on styling, a heat protectant will first need to applied and secondly, the whip setting ought to to be adjusted – as per to hair type.


2. Environmental Contributing Factors: Humidity and Hair Moisture

After curling iron styling, another main contributor to frizziness is environmental hair humidity, which is usually excessive outside. EPSI has shown that in case of excess humidity a hair shaft receives moisture from the outside air, thereby smoothing the hair cuticle.

Humidity’s effect on Frizz: Understanding the Concepts

Using Moisture: If a person’s hair is humid, that person will absorb some water from the atmosphere. As a result of dis trying to balance itself, the strands of the hair become swollen which in turn leads to the disruption of the curl’s smoothness leading to frizz.

Curl un-defining: Air full of moisture when absorbed by the hair, the hair cools down and sound irritating which in turn leads to more frizz.

Cuticle’s Cup The Third: Such a raised cuticle is more at risk of getting moisture easily from the settings. Therefore, Frizz and Hair, particularly in damp or rainy weather, tends to be more visible after the hair has been curled.

Frizz which occurs due to humidity can be controlled by using anti-humidity or anti-frizz sprays which will seal the hairs cuticle with moisture which will prevent it from swelling.


3.Moisture Deficiency: Its Effects on Hydration and Global Tension Blocking And Stun Grabbing

Once again dry, naturally weak, and or damage hair is attached newer iron cruls hair crulset. When the hair is touching skin that is overheated and there moisture is not sufficient then the cuticle itself will not remain flat but be quite rough thus leading to frizz.

Relation Between Frizz & Dryness:

  • Hair Dehydration: Dry hair is more porous meaning it can absorb moisture from the air which leads to hair swelling as well as frizz. Furthermore, if the hair is styled by dry heat as well, this means that the moisture is stripped away, thus this leads to even more frizz.
  • Absent of Oils: Natural oils produced by the scalp make sure that the hair hydrated and smooth. Heat styling or excessive washing, strips these oils leading to hair having an unpolished effct but additionally making hair more prone to frizz as well.
  • Cuticles Surface Texture: In adequate moisture conditions, cuticle does no lay flat leading to rough surfaces which makes light stick leading to frizz.

Overall applying oil and leave-in hair moisturizer after a shower on a regular basis greatly helps in the reduction of frizz.


4. Not Using Curls Effectively

Sometimes the frizz generated in the hair is not because of the styling tools but because of poor styling and even curling techniques. When hair is styled too much or heated too much, it can lead to low quality curls which lead to greater frizz.

Why Styling Tendencies Lead to Frizz:

  • Over-Curling: Over-curling refers to curling one section of the hair multiple times and it could lead the strands to weaken and break, ending up as frizz. Over curling also leads to moisture being stripped from the hair which causes dryness.
  • Wrong Setting on the Iron: Each of the hair types has a particular setting temperature that it can withstand, for example thin hair needs lower temperature than thick hair as it can lead to heat damage which turns into frizz.
  • Forgetting a Heat Protectant: When heat protectants are not used the hair is directly exposed to heat which causes the hair to lose moisture and leads to frizz.

To fix these issues, wear a heat protectant before styling, use a curling iron that has different temperate settings and curl hair in smaller sections. And do not curl hair that is still wet as the water mixed with heat causes more frizz.


5. Post-Styling Management

When it comes to curls, the way they are treated when the styling is done will determine whether the curl stays intact or turns into a frizzy mess. For example, once the curls have been styled, brushing or even touching them can cause them to shift and get frizzy.

The Effect of Post-Styling on Frizz:

  • Brushes Following Curling: Once curls are styled, and a brush is used, the curls tend to turn into more of a frizzy look as the brush interferes with the wave pattern resulting in deformation of the hair.
  • Over-Handling the Curls: If you constantly mess with your curls using your hands or split them from the middle, you are likely to end up with frizz as this prevents the smoothness of the curl and uncloses the cuticles.
  • Omitting Setting Products: If you are against using finishing products such as anti frizz serums, smoothing creams, or hairspray, there are high chances that you will end up with frizz because as soon as your hair goes into air or contact with humidity, it becomes unprotected.

Do not use a brush to preserve the curls and avoid frizz, instead, use your fingers, or a wide end comb to keep the curls intact and frizz free. Finally, an anti-frizz serum or hair oil should be applied to maintain the moisture levels and make the curls silky.
