5 tips for taming unruly hair
Unruly hair can be a real challenge. Just when your hairstyle looks perfect, your hair starts to frizz again — or it won’t even hold the shape you want in the first place. With a few simple tricks, however, you can tame unruly hair very effectively — and without much effort!
What is unruly hair?
Many women with thick hair know the problem: the mane just can't be tamed. The hair is difficult to style, often dry, and prone to frizz. As a result, it often looks dull, lackluster, and straw-like.
What causes unruly hair?
One reason for unruly hair can be reduced sebum production in the scalp. This means the hair is not sufficiently supplied with natural oils and lipids, causing it to lose smoothness and elasticity. A lack of moisture can also lead to unruly hair. In addition, unsuitable care and styling products as well as improper handling of the hair can promote frizz and a dull, lifeless appearance.
What to do about unruly hair?
To help you tame your hair, we’ve put together 5 tips that will help transform unruly hair into a smooth, manageable mane.
Tip 1: Use the right shampoo for unruly hair
When it comes to fighting flyaways, frizz, and straw-like hair, the right shampoo is the foundation. To get unruly hair under control, you need a mild shampoo that has been specially developed for this hair type. No longer a secret tip in the fight against unruly hair is the luxurious Kérastase Discipline Bain Fluidealiste shampoo. It has long been known for its highly effective performance thanks to the MORPHO-KERATIN™ COMPLEX. This complex restores the uniformity of the hair fiber and coats it to provide anti-frizz protection.
Mild, moisturizing shampoos have also proven to be very effective against unruly hair. Schwarzkopf BC Moisture Kick Shampoo, for example, provides moisture and improves hair quality, resulting in smoother and, ultimately, more manageable hair.
A gentle, nature-inspired alternative is offered by Maria Nila with the True Soft Shampoo. This mild moisturizing shampoo is paraben-free, sulfate-free, cruelty-free, and vegan, and contains valuable argan oil for an extra dose of moisture that your unruly hair will love.
Tip 2: Don’t wash your hair too often
Avoiding frequent hair washing is essential when dealing with unruly hair. The hair already suffers from dryness, and every wash only intensifies this condition by drying out the scalp even more. The cuticle layer becomes roughened, making the hair look even more straw-like.
Tip 3: Always use conditioner
After washing your hair, you should always apply a conditioner. On the one hand, it contains nourishing ingredients that keep the hair smooth, shiny, and soft. On the other hand, it seals the hair cuticle again, resulting in silky, smooth hair. A standout product here is the Kerasilk Smoothing Conditioner. With vegan silk, it effectively combats the symptoms of unruly hair and gives your hair a soft feel and healthy shine.
Tip 4: Use oil-based styling products
When styling unruly hair, you should opt for oil-based products such as waxes or hair oils. Ideally, use a nourishing hair oil. You can apply it directly to damp hair and then dry it as usual. For extra anti-frizz protection, it can also be applied to dry hair.
If you want to style short, unruly hair, oil-based products are especially important. Waxes or gel waxes are particularly effective in the fight against unruly hair. The styling products from Moroccanoil are highly recommended, as they also nourish the hair with argan oil. Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream, for example, is ideal for styling frizzy, frizz-prone hair. It moisturizes, strengthens, and tames the hair while intensely nourishing dry strands with argan oil.
Kérastase Discipline Bain Fluidealiste Sulfatfrei is a shampoo for unruly and sensitised hair. It enhances the flowing movement of smooth, rebellious hair and provides impressive softness, shine, and an anti-frizz effect thanks to an innovative formula with Morpho-Keratin. Kérastase Discipline Bain Fluidealiste Shampoo Sulfatfrei with Advanced Care Effect Gentle surfactants instead of sulfates cleanse the hair softly. The hair bath transforms frizzy strands into soft, smooth hair with a light feel thanks to optimal nutrient supply. Morpho-Keratins (structure-forming active ingredients and surface-forming polymers) envelop each hair fibre, creating uniformity and strength for smooth, healthy hair.

Tip 5: Blow-dry instead of air-drying
As a general rule, unruly hair should be exposed to as little stress as possible. However, after washing, it should always be dried with a hairdryer. When hair is left to air-dry, the cuticle layer is not sealed properly. This allows moisture to escape while humidity from the air can penetrate the hair. The result: frizzy, straw-like, hard-to-manage hair. Ideally, use a round brush suited to your hair length and a powerful hairdryer, such as the BaByliss 4Artist Digital FX hair dryer. This way, your hair is exposed to heat for a shorter time and styled optimally at the same time.
