Redken For Frizzy Hair

Frizz occurs when the hair cuticle is raised, allowing moisture from the air to penetrate the hair shaft and cause swelling. This disrupts the hair's natural pattern — straight hair loses smoothness, curly hair loses definition. The main causes of frizz are: humidity, dryness (paradoxically — dry hair seeks moisture from the air), chemical damage, mechanical damage (rough towel drying, brushing wet hair), and heat damage.

South Africa's coastal climate — particularly in Cape Town — is particularly challenging for frizz-prone hair. High humidity combined with sea air creates ideal conditions for frizz year-round.

Redken Frizz Dismiss Shampoo & Conditioner: The core of Redken's anti-frizz system. The Frizz Dismiss range uses a blend of baobab oil and smoothing actives to tame frizz and flyaways from the first wash. Provides 72-hour frizz control in humid conditions.

Redken Frizz Dismiss Mask: An intensive weekly treatment that deeply smooths the hair cuticle and provides extended anti-humidity protection. Use after shampooing for maximum frizz control.

Redken Frizz Dismiss Rebel Tame: A leave-in smoothing cream that controls frizz and flyaways while protecting against heat styling up to 450°F. Apply to damp hair before blow-drying for smooth, frizz-free results.

Redken Frizz Dismiss Instant Deflate: A leave-in smoothing oil serum applied to dry or damp hair for immediate frizz control. Perfect for refreshing and taming frizz throughout the day without restarting your routine.

Use a microfibre towel or old t-shirt to dry hair — regular terrycloth towels roughen the cuticle and cause frizz. Apply conditioner generously and comb through while in the shower — don't detangle after rinsing. Use a heat protectant and blow-dry on medium heat with a smoothing nozzle directed downward to seal the cuticle. Finish with a light serum or oil to lock in smoothness. In humidity, a light hold spray or cream applied after styling creates a barrier against moisture in the air.

Does Redken Frizz Dismiss work in Cape Town's humidity? Yes — Frizz Dismiss is specifically formulated for humidity resistance. The 72-hour frizz control claim is tested in high-humidity conditions. For very humid days, layer the mask treatment weekly with the Rebel Tame leave-in and finish with Instant Deflate oil for maximum protection.

Can I use Frizz Dismiss on colour-treated hair? Yes — the Frizz Dismiss range is color-safe and suitable for colour-treated hair. For colour-treated hair that is also frizzy, consider pairing Frizz Dismiss styling products with the Redken Color Extend or Acidic Bonding Concentrate shampoo and conditioner.
