GlossaryFrizz (Frizzy hair)

hair that appears dry, unruly, and lacks smoothness

Frizz, also known as frizziness or frizzy hair, refers to hair that appears dry, unruly, and lacks smoothness, often resulting in individual strands standing up or curling independently. This condition is typically caused by a lack of moisture in the hair shaft, leading to the cuticle layer lifting and allowing humidity to penetrate, which disrupts the hair's natural structure. Factors such as hair damage, humidity, and the hair's natural texture can all contribute to frizz.
