How to Prevent Frizzy Hair in Men (Natural Solutions)
Let’s be real - frizz is rampant across tons of different hair types. For guys with wavy, curly, or just plain unruly hair, one wrong move (or one wrong product) and it is puff city.
The good news? Frizz is beatable. You just need to know what causes it, and what products actually work.
Frizz isn’t fun—but neither is a 12-step routine. You don’t need five serums and a hair whisperer. You need smart habits, clean products, and zero B.S.
What Even Is Frizz?
Frizz happens when your hair cuticle - the outer layer - gets raised or roughed up. That lets moisture escape, and humidity sneak in. Result? Puffy, dry chaos.
If your hair’s damaged, dry, or highly porous, it’s even more likely to soak up moisture from the air and swell like a sponge.
How to Actually Tame Frizz (Without Going Full Helmet Head)
Try our six tips below to help you finally tame the frizz that has been annoying you.
| Tip | What to Do | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Hydrate Like You Mean It | Use The Wash—sulfate-free, pH-balanced, packed with glycerin, meadowfoam, and hyaluronic acid. | Prevents moisture loss and hydrates without greasiness. |
| 2. Give Hot Water a Hard Pass | Rinse with lukewarm or cold water. | Cold water seals the cuticle, preventing frizz and puff. |
| 3. Stop Styling Sopping-Wet Hair | Pat dry with towel or t-shirt, air dry or diffuse, use a wide-tooth comb. | Reduces breakage and keeps hair smooth. |
| 4. Trim It Before It Turns Traitor | Get regular trims, especially with long hair. | Removes split ends—major frizz triggers. |
| 5. Moisture First. Then Style. | Use Glacial Cream for conditioning and loose styling, then Glacial Clay Pomade to lock it in and provide more control. | Combines moisture and hold—no crunch, no grease. |
| 6. Combat Humidity | Use cold rinses, light oils, and The Wash to seal the cuticle. | Stops hair from puffing up when it’s humid. |
Tip 1: Hydrate Like You Mean It
Most shampoos strip your hair dry, then dare you to fix it. Not ours.
The Wash is sulfate-free, pH-balanced, and loaded with glycerin, meadowfoam oil, and hyaluronic acid to hydrate and balance your hair—no greasy or dry aftermath.
Tip 2: Give Hot Water a Hard Pass
Hot water lifts the cuticle—aka the door that keeps moisture in. Once that’s open, frizz storms in.
Rinse with lukewarm water. If you’re brave, finish cold.
Cold water calms the cuticle = chill hair that doesn’t puff up.
Tip 3: Stop Styling Sopping-Wet Hair
Wet hair is elastic, fragile, and easy to wreck. Tugging a comb through soaked strands? That’s asking for breakage—and frizz.
Instead:
Gently squeeze with a soft towel. You’re not sanding wood. Pat it.
Air dry or diffuse on a low, cool setting
Style damp hair
Use a Wide-tooth comb > brush. Less pulling, less puff.
Tip 4: Trim It Before It Turns Traitor
Split ends are frizz magnets. Get a trim at your local barber regularly—especially if you’re growing your hair out.
Clean ends = less chaos.
Tip 5: Moisture First. Then Style.
Frizz is thirsty. Feed it.
Leave-in conditioner: Locks in hydration all day
Hair cream or anti-frizz serums: Smooth flyaways without grease
Clay Pomade: Tame and style, minus the crunch
Use Glacial Hair Cream to condition, then use Glacial Clay Pomade to lock in your style.
Frizz doesn’t stand a chance when you follow up moisture with control—and that’s where Glacial Clay Pomade comes in.
This isn't your average pomade.
It’s a low-shine, medium-firm hold styling pomade that controls frizz, locks in your shape, and gives your hair a clean, touchable finish.
Tame texture. Control flyaways. No crunch. No grease.
Use it solo to slick things back or tame rogue strands. Or layer it after Glacial Cream for a one-two punch of hydration + hold.
Why It Works:
Kaolin Clay adds natural texture and volume—no fluff
Jojoba + botanical oils smooth and nourish
Non-greasy formula keeps hair matte and touchable
Washes out easily —no buildup, no drama
Tip 6: How to Combat Humidity
Porous hair soaks up moisture from the air like a sponge. That puff you hate? It’s your cuticle wide open and absorbing everything.
Fix:
Keep the cuticle sealed with cold water rinses, lightweight oils, and pH-balanced products (like The Wash).
