Frizzy hair can feel like a daily battle, turning a good day into a stressful challenge.
Understanding Frizz: What Causes It?
Frizz occurs when the outer layer of the hair lifts, allowing moisture to enter and swell the strands. This results in a rough texture and lack of smoothness. Common causes that contribute to frizz include:
Step-by-Step Routine for Naturally Taming Frizz
1. Proper Shampooing with the Right Products
Hair care begins with washing. Choosing the right shampoo and conditioner is crucial for controlling frizz, but the proper washing technique is equally important.
2. Incorporate a Weekly Deep Hydration Treatment
Deep hydration treatments are essential for frizzy hair. They provide intense moisture and help repair damage, leaving your hair smoother and more manageable.
3. Make Leave-In Conditioner Part of Your Routine
After washing and conditioning your hair, it's important to have an after-wash hair care routine. This means using a leave-in conditioner after every wash.
4. Dry Your Hair Properly
How you dry your hair can significantly affect frizz. Avoid rubbing your hair with a towel and grab the hair dryer instead.
5. Choose the Right Hair Styling Products
The products you use for styling your hair can make a big difference in the fight against frizz.
6. Protect Your Hair from the Environment
Environmental factors like humidity and pollution can wreak havoc on your hair, but there are ways to protect it.
7. Get the Right Haircut
A good haircut is vital for the health and vitality of your hair. Extra weight and split ends make hair more prone to frizz.
8. Maintain a Healthy Diet
What you eat plays a role in the health of your hair. A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals can help overall hair health and reduce frizz.
So, Is It Possible to Achieve Smooth, Frizz-Free Hair Without a Keratin Treatm?
Fighting frizzy hair without a keratin treatment is absolutely possible. Understanding the causes of frizz is just the beginning, as this is a natural process. The key is consistent hair care without shortcuts and avoiding superficial fixes. By following these steps, you'll see your hair transform into healthy, shiny, and beautiful locks in just a few weeks!
Our hair is more than just strands. It's the crown on our heads deserving the best possible care.
Research confirms what we intuitively know: 'bad hair days' can negatively affect our mood. Understanding the relationship between self-esteem, social confidence, and personal success underscores the importance of investing in the health and vitality of our hair.
Are you considering transitioning from drugstore to quality, professional hair products?
Here are five compelling reasons why it's worth investing in salon-quality hair products:
Understanding Your Hair Products and Application Techniques
Quality vs Quantity: Investing in high-quality hair products with concentrated formulas saves money in the long run, as less product is needed for long-term benefits.
Shampoo: Used to clean the scalp, not the lengths and ends of the hair. Apply to the scalp, extending towards the hair without rubbing.
Conditioner: Essential for maintaining healthy hair. Skipping it risks hydration and nourishment. Apply to lengths and ends at the end of washing.
Hair Masks: Use once a week at most for hair treatments. Do not substitute them for conditioner every wash. Apply to lengths and ends, then follow with conditioner after rinsing.
Washday vs Styling Products: Quality washday products maintain hair health, while styling products improve desired appearance. Find balance and prioritize basics for optimal results.
Leave-in Conditioner vs Oil: Choose water-based products over oil for hydration and frizz control. Oil repels water, hindering hydration. Apply to ends only to seal moisture.
Blue + Purple Shampoos: Address hair discoloration at the salon rather than covering it up with color masks and purple shampoos.
Understanding hair products and mastering application techniques opens doors to healthier, more beautiful hair.
It's clear that you recognize the importance of taking care of your hair and are ready to invest in quality products. Here's a recommended priority sequence for your hair care routine:
Starting from the most important and essential hair products worth investing your money in, we recommend focusing on shampoo and conditioner. Heat protection product comes next as an equally essential product for protecting your hair from heat damage. Leave-in conditioner, scalp scrub, and styling products can be gradually added to your routine according to your needs.
Ins & Outs in Hair for 2024

Protective hairstyles like braids promote hair growth while protecting against breakage.

This year, we celebrate natural beauty, embracing our roots - literally. Instead of a major and dramatic change in appearance, we choose to subtly highlight our hair.
Techniques like balayage or hair contouring are ideal for a fresh look that won't change who you are and won't require you to dye your roots.
Make the Change: Elegance with Accessories
Sleek hairstyles are the hair style for 2024, and to easily and quickly create more interest in your hair, accessories are the way to go.
From clips to playful ribbons and scarves, accessories add personality and joy to every look. Bows stand out as the accessory of the year, complementing the latest fashion trends with elegance and charm.

Dedicate more time and make your hair washing more thorough, cleaning your scalp very well.
Scalp scrubs promote good circulation and healthy hair growth from the scalp.

Balayage is the most popular hair coloring technique at bamhairsalon, and "natural balayage" is how our clients request it!
This hair coloring technique is done without aluminum foils, using hair-friendly products with a low lifting effect and cosmetic value, such as toner or gloss, to achieve a natural-looking balayage on curls and waves
Our goal with this hair coloring technique is a natural result, the very popular sun-kissed balayage.
While balayage is usually associated with straight hair, it is the best hair technique if you have curls or natural wavy hair.
Below we will see the reasons why the hair experts at bamhairsalon consider balayage the most flattering hair coloring technique for curly hair.
One of the reasons why balayage looks so beautiful on curly hair is that it creates dimension, depth, and texture, making the curls appear even more voluminous, shiny, and well-formed.
At bamhairsalon, the placement of the dye is done strategically to enhance the natural texture of curly and wavy hair.
This is particularly important for curly hair, as natural curls often appear flatter and one-dimensional.
Therefore, with balayage, a final color is created that looks as if it were natural, enhancing the curls' natural beauty and giving them more depth and dimension."
We should also add that balayage on curly hair is a low-maintenance option.
This means that with a proper care and routine at home, it can look perfect over the months without the need for a monthly visit to the hairdresser for its renewal.
In conclusion, the hair experts at bamhairsalon recommend balayage on curly and wavy hair because it upgrades the hair style in an unpretentious way, making curly hair luxurious and easy to wear.

hair oil
It might sound like two things that don't go together, but believe us, you need it if you want to see your hair grow long, healthy, and strong.
And below we will explain why you should also include it in your routine.
The truth is, it's quite challenging to maintain healthy hair ends, especially if you color your hair.
Just remember, your hair ends are the oldest part of your hair and have endured the most damage compared to any other part of your hair.
That's why the ends need special care and protection, and hair oil does just that job.
So, oil is an essential product for taking care of your hair ends, as it will nourish and protect them.
Hair oil works in two ways on the hair:
For achieving shiny and hydrated hair results from using hair oil, apply it after Leave-in Conditioner on damp hair, focusing only on the ends.
Great care is needed in the quantity
Always start with a very small amount as it is very easy to over oil your hair and make it look messy!
Also, once your hair is dry, you can reapply a small amount of hair oil to the ends and lightly distribute it towards the lengths of your hair.
And of course, always after any hairstyle on dry hair!
So your hair will have a very shiny result.
Hair oil should be used every day
Even on days you don't wash, on dry hair.
This way you keep very beautiful, shiny and moisturized hair until the next wash!
Let me ask you a question: If there was a product out there that would make your hair happy, wouldn't you want to know about it?
Well lucky you, there is one, it's for all hair types and it's called leave-in conditioner.
Let’s examine the main differences between the leave-in conditioner and the regular conditioner you already use in your hair routine. Do you really need it? And how is it used?
In general, the use of conditioner is essential for all hair types.
The purpose of conditioner is to close the scales of the hair after shampooing, to provide hydration, strength and protection.
There are some elementary differences though between regular conditioner and a leave-in conditioner.
First, you are aware that the conditioner is rinsed out of the hair after it has been washed.
On the other hand, Leave-in conditioner stays on the hair and should not be rinsed out.
Regular conditioner has a heavier formula while leave-in conditioner has a lighter formula.
Which means that you cannot use regular conditioner as leave-in conditioner
because its composition and ingredients will leave a residue on the hair and will clog it.
On the contrary, the light and sophisticated formula of leave-in conditioner is made to stay on the hair without leaving any residue
without leaving any residue and keeps the hair moisturized between washes.
In other words, leave-in conditioner is a treatment that will prevent your hair from drying and dehydrating.
We have covered the main differences between the regular and the leave-in conditioner. Now let’s have a closer look on how to use the leave-in conditioner.
We should emphasize here, that leave-in conditioner does not in any way replace the regular conditioner.
Leave-In Conditioner is always used on wet or damp hair
If you are a first timer, we suggest you choose according to the ease of use of the bottle and the texture of the product.
You can find it in a soft gel texture or water texture in a spray bottle.
Our experience tells us that hydration is of vital importance for healthy hair.
We need to treat hair as cautious as our skin.
Leave-In Conditioner is nothing more than a deep moisturizer for hair so it's suitable for everyone (regardless of hair quality, colour, and type)
Leave-In Conditioner is an essential product taking care the lengths and ends of your hair. It also makes your hair shiny, prevents break or frizz and helps them grow long.
Leave In Conditioner is absolutely a necessity for your hair!
Start taking care the lengths and ends of your hair like you take care of them by shampooing.
Double wash :
The secret for clean hair with less washes
n summer, the heat, sweat, and sea are valid reasons why you wash your hair every day.
But did you know that for healthy, shiny, and oil-free hair, the secret is less washes?
B.A.M. hair salon experts to the rescue! We will help you train your hair require fewer washes depending on its type.
The frequency of shampooing is relative and proportional to the type of hair you have.
Frequent shampooing is when you wash more times in a week than you should depending on your hair type.
For example, if you have thick and lots of hair, 3 washes per week is considered too many.
To help you fully understand if you are over washing your hair, you first need to understand what type of hair you have.
In this case, we don't focus if you have short - long or dry hair as these characteristics have to do with care rather than hair type.
The hair types that we will deal with are the 3 following:
a) thin hair
b) medium hair
c) thick hair
Thin hair lacks volume and texture and tends to get greasy often. Ideally it should be washed every 3 days.
Medium hair has similar characteristics to thin hair.
They uphold more volume and do not get greasy too quickly.
Ideally, they should be washed every 5 or 6 days.
Thick hair is very different from the previous two categories.
They are rich with volume and are not greasy.
They can last many days until they are washed. However, shampooing once a week is a good frequency for this type of hair.
The secret to reducing the frequency of shampooing is to double cleanse the scalp.
This means 2 things:
Dry and style your hair any way you want in order to complete the process.
It is worth mentioning here that the quality of the products you use for shampooing play a very important role in achieving less washout.
After washing styling products will also provide your hair the desired look (smoothness, volume, texture).
Try the double cleanse method (on the head and not on the hair) to get healthy, shiny, long-lasting hairstyle and swift your attention on the things that really matters…
