Tame Frizz From Herbal Hair Soap with These Easy Fixes
Switching to herbal hair soap can leave your strands dry and fluffy at first. This happens because the natural soap’s slight alkalinity lifts your hair cuticles and removes the silicone-like coatings from commercial products. To smooth your hair right after shampooing, mix 1–2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in warm water. Pour this rinse through your hair, let it sit for one minute, then rinse with cool water. This seals the cuticles and locks in moisture for a natural shine. Skip rubbing your hair with a terry cloth towel. Instead, gently squeeze out excess water using a cotton t-shirt or a microfiber cloth. Then apply an intensive hair mask once or twice a week, focusing on mid-lengths and ends. Look for masks with shea butter, argan oil, or hydrolyzed proteins to restore deep moisture. If you live in a hard-water area, mineral buildup can make your hair feel stiff. A simple showerhead filter can help soften water before it hits your scalp. With consistent acid rinses and weekly masks, your hair will rebalance over two to four weeks and reveal its true smoothness.
