Struggling with frizz and dry hair?
Taming it and restoring moisture can be tricky, but with a good deep-conditioning hair care routine and the right products, your hair can feel soft and look shiny again.
At muk Hair, we know the importance of giving your frizzy hair the care it deserves. Follow our deep conditioning guide to achieve hair that’s fresh, bouncy, and full of life!
The Science Behind Deep Conditioning
Deep conditioning targets the inner and outer layers, delivering concentrated nutrients straight to the hair shaft. Here’s why it’s effective:
- Moisture Penetration: Deep conditioners contain smaller molecules that penetrate the hair cuticle, hydrating it from the inside.
- Cuticle Smoothing: They seal the outer layer of hair, reducing friction and keeping moisture in. This helps prevent frizz and adds shine.
- Protein Reinforcement: Ingredients like keratin repair weak areas in the hair shaft, improving strength and flexibility.
Frizzy Hair Treatment: Deep-Conditioning Hair Care Routine
Ready to transform your frizz into silky, manageable locks?
A good hair care routine will strengthen your strands and boost overall manageability. Here’s a step-by-step guide to the perfect deep-conditioning routine for ultimate hydration and repair:
1. Start with a Gentle Cleanse
Cleansing sets the foundation for healthy, frizz-free hair. Use a sulphate-free shampoo to clean your hair without stripping its natural oils. Look for ingredients like shea butter or argan oil that help retain moisture while removing buildup. Hot water can cause frizz and dryness by lifting the cuticle, so remember to rinse with lukewarm or cool water.
- Quick Tip: Got curly or textured hair? Co-washing (cleansing with conditioner instead of shampoo) can help keep your hair hydrated. It removes dirt and buildup while keeping natural oils intact. Go for a lightweight or co-wash-specific conditioner to avoid residue or heaviness.
Shampoos to Try:
- muk Spa Argan Oil Repair Shampoo: With Moroccan oil and hydrolysed proteins, this shampoo is great for fine to coarse hair that needs strength and frizz control. It’s free from harmful chemicals, including sulphates, parabens, silicones and phosphates.
- Intense muk Repair Shampoo: This protein-rich formula strengthens and adds shine, improving elasticity, preventing breakage, and leaving your hair feeling soft. It’s no wonder it has become a go-to choice for dry, damaged, or brittle hair.
2. Commit to Deep Conditioning
Now that your hair is clean, let’s move on to deep conditioning!
Skip conditioners with harsh chemicals and look for ones with natural ingredients like coconut oil, keratin, or aloe vera. If your hair is weak or brittle, go for a protein-rich deep conditioner. If your hair is already healthy, though, make sure not to overdo the protein.
How to Get the Best Results:
- Apply deep conditioner from mid-lengths to ends, avoiding the roots.
- Cover your hair with a cap to trap heat and boost absorption.
- Leave it on for 20–30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
Must-Try Conditioners:
- muk Spa Argan Oil Repair Conditioner: This luxurious blend of pure Moroccan oil and natural proteins (like hydrolysed corn and wheat proteins) offers intense conditioning, shine, and moisture. Free from harsh chemicals, it smooths frizz, eliminates flyaways and deeply hydrates your strands.
- Vivid muk Colour Lock Conditioner: Got coloured hair? Then, you know how important it is to keep it looking fresh and vibrant. This conditioner delivers exactly that. It detangles, locks in moisture, and boosts shine and elasticity. Its UV-filter formula protects your colour from fading, leaving your hair smooth and vibrant for longer.
3. Nourish Weekly with a Deep Conditioning Hair Mask
Add a deep-conditioning hair mask to your routine for intense hydration and repair. Hair masks are more concentrated than regular conditioners, providing a powerful boost of nutrients that target dryness, damage, and frizz. Look for those with natural oils or proteins for extra strength and silkiness.
Recommended hair masks:
- muk Spa Argan Oil Repair Mask: It’s rich in omega-9, omega-6 and other essential fatty acids. High in Vitamin E, this formulation maintains strength, boosts elasticity and improves hydration levels.
- Intense muk Repair Treatment: This mask is a protein-packed treatment for weak and brittle hair. It’s non ‘hardening’ and completely safe for all hair types—with no risk of protein overload.
4. Lock in Moisture with Leave-In Products
After rinsing, apply a leave-in conditioner to lock in moisture and keep your hair protected throughout the day. Go for light formulas that won’t weigh your hair down but will still fight frizz and add softness. Apply the leave-in product to damp hair, focusing on the ends, and use a wide-tooth comb to detangle gently.
Try these leave-in products:
- Head muk 20-in-1 Miracle Treatment: A leave-in multitasker that softens, boosts shine, tames frizz, hydrates, and protects from heat and environmental damage.
- Deep muk Ultra Soft Leave-in Conditioner: It’s a lightweight formula that detangles, strengthens, and hydrates for silky, shiny hair without heaviness.
5. Protect Your Hair from Heat
Heat styling is one of the top culprits behind dry, frizzy hair. Using a microfibre towel and letting your hair air-dry is a good way to minimise heat exposure. If you need to use heat tools, always apply a heat protectant spray first. It forms a barrier to shield your locks from the damaging effects of high temperatures of most heat-styling tools.
Products to look for:
- Hot muk Thermal Protector: This weightless thermal spray safeguards your hair from the high temperatures of styling tools, preventing damage and dryness.
- Hot muk 6-in-1 Working Spray: It’s a versatile spray that offers thermal protection. It adds volume, provides flexible hold, and blocks humidity, making it ideal for various styling needs.
6. Finish with Oils and Serums
To wrap things up, apply a nourishing oil or smoothing serum to fight flyway's and boost shine. Natural oils and serums infused with keratin, biotin, or botanical extracts work great. Just warm a few drops between your hands and evenly distribute through the lengths and ends of your hair.
- Quick Reminder: Start with a small amount—too much product can leave your hair looking greasy rather than glossy.
Best Products for Curly, Frizzy Hair
If you’re struggling with frizzy curls, there are a few additional steps and products that can help define and manage your curls without compromising moisture. Curls are naturally prone to dryness and frizz, so you must give them extra care and attention.
While you may already have a system that works, new advancements in curly hair care might be the key to even better results. Let’s explore some of the options designed to work with your routine, not disrupt it.
Look for these products for curly, frizzy hair:
- Kinky muk Curl Leave-in Moisturiser: This is great as a ‘second-day’ refresher for curls that need added moisture. Apply it to damp hair and distribute it evenly. Let your hair air-dry, or use a hair diffuser when blow-drying for more control.
- To enhance natural movement with minimal hold, follow up with the Kinky muk Curl Amplifier.
- Want a moisturising hair cream with an extra firm hold? Use Kinky muk Extra Hold Curl Amplifier. It rids frizz and tames unruly curls, making them super defined.
Small Changes, Big Results
Tackling frizz doesn’t always require a complete overhaul. Simple changes can help smooth your hair and reduce damage. For lasting results, follow these small but effective tips:
- Sleep on a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and retain natural oils.
- Use a detangling brush or your fingers to style damp hair gently. Avoid rough towels or harsh combs.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Eat hydrating foods rich in omega-3s and vitamins A and E.
