How do you fight frizz in natural hair? What keeps frizz away all summer and fall and what products work best on frizz are all questions every natural is dying to know. Frizz – it’s the dreaded enemy of good hair days and sleek styles. It can turn the sleekest of styles into a ratty bird’s nest all in a matter of minutes.

FIGHTING FRIZZ ON NATURALLY COILY, CURLY HAIR
If you suffer from frizz regularly, then chances are your hair is lacking moisture. Frizz is a common problem that can be very easy to fix. All you need to do it take a look around your kitchen. We’re sure you have at least one frizz fighting solution in your home. Let’s have a look at some easy frizzy hair remedies that are made from natural ingredients that you may already have in your own home.
AVOCADO HAIR MASK
If your frizz is caused by dry, dehydrated hair then avocado is your best frizz-fighting option. Avocado is packed with vitamin E and fatty oils, which work to add moisture to the hair and smooth frizz.
For this mask, mash one very ripe avocado in a bowl along with a tablespoon of virgin olive oil. Apply this mask to freshly washed hair and allow it to sit for at least 30 minutes before rinsing with cold water. This mask can be done every two weeks and you should notice results immediately.
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR RINSE
The acidity of apple cider vinegar makes it a naturally effective frizz fighter. The acid in this vinegar works to smooth and tame frizz. ACV also gently removes dirt and product buildup from the hair without stripping it of natural oils.

Olive oil is the holy grail of kitchen-made beauty treatments. Controlling frizz is only one of the many beauty uses for olive oil. If you want to tame frizz fast, this mask is for you.
For this treatment, coat your freshly washed hair with olive oil from the scalp to the ends. Cover your hair with a shower cap and let the oil sit for at least an hour before rinsing with cold water. This treatment can be done weekly and you’ll see results almost immediately.
BANANA & COCONUT MILK HAIR MASK
Bananas and coconuts are both rich in natural oils and other nutrients that work to soften the hair, add moisture and reduce frizz. This easy to do mask combines banana and coconut in a protein packed, frizz busting punch.
For this mask, take one ripe banana and mash it in a small bowl. After all lumps have been removed, add a tablespoon of coconut oil and two tablespoons of warm (not hot) coconut milk. Mix together and apply to damp, clean hair. Cover hair with a shower cap and let the mixture sit for at least one hour before rinsing with cold water.
