Say Goodbye to Frizzy Grey Hair: Natural Tips for Soft, Silky Strands

If your hair is feeling frizzy—especially on the ends—you may be on a mission to solve the issue. You could be thinking that excessive dyeing is to blame, but natural grey hair can struggle with dryness and frizz. This is due to grey hair having a different texture, often causing it to be coarser and more prone to dryness, which can make frizz even more noticeable.

Before you resort to drastic measures like cutting your hair short, try these tips to smooth and nourish your grey hair. With the right care and natural hair products, including a hydrating leave-in conditioner, you can enjoy soft, manageable and healthy locks.

1. Get Regular Trims & Hair cuts

Whether you prefer a short or long style, getting regular trims (every six to eight weeks) helps prevent split ends from traveling up the hair shaft. Since split ends contribute to frizz, keeping them in check is essential for smoother, healthier-looking hair.

2. Use Gentle Hair Accessories

Your choice of hair accessories can make a big difference in preventing breakage and frizz. Tight elastics and harsh hair ties can create friction and damage strands, leading to more frizz over time. Instead, opt for claw clips or fabric-covered hair ties that are gentler on your hair.

3. Choose High-Quality, Natural Hair Products

The products you use matter, especially when dealing with grey, dry, or frizz-prone hair. Look for a natural hair shampoo and leave in conditioner that hydrates and nourishes without stripping moisture.

4. Lock in Moisture with a Leave-In Conditioner

A great way to fight frizz and dryness is by using a high-quality leave-in conditioner. Our Botanical Silk Milk Leave-In Hair Moisturiser deeply hydrates, smooths, and revives dry or frizzy hair. Infused with Ylang Ylang Flower Oil and Elderflower Extract, this lightweight formula deeply hydrates, tames frizz, and enhances shine, leaving grey hair soft, manageable, and revitalised without weighing it down.

5. Seal the Hair Cuticle

Washing your hair with very hot water can strip moisture, leaving your strands dry and frizzy. Instead, rinse with lukewarm water and finish with a cool water blast to seal the hair cuticle. This helps smooth the hair’s surface, locking in moisture and reducing frizz.

6. Be Gentle with Wet Hair

Wet hair is especially fragile, so avoid excessive rubbing with a towel, which can cause frizz and breakage. Instead, gently pat your hair dry with a soft towel or to absorb excess water without damaging the cuticle.

7. Avoid Over-Drying with Heat Styling

Using a hairdryer on the highest setting can dehydrate hair and make frizz worse. Instead, use a low or medium heat setting, and finish with a cool shot to set your style. Letting your hair air-dry partially before using heat can also minimize frizz and prevent unnecessary damage.

8. Minimise Over-Manipulation

Brushing or touching your hair too often can create static and flyaways, making frizz more noticeable. When blow-drying, always point the nozzle downward to help lay the cuticle flat and reduce the appearance of frizz.

9. Cool Down After Heat Styling

A great trick for controlling frizz—especially during summer or menopause-related hot flashes—is to finish your styling routine with a blast of cool air from your dryer. This not only refreshes you but also smooths your strands.

10. Protect Your Hair While Sleeping

Switching to a satin or silk pillowcase can make a big difference in reducing friction and moisture loss while you sleep. Cotton pillowcases tend to pull moisture from your hair, increasing frizz. If you notice more frizz on one side of your hair, it may be due to your sleep position—try alternating sides for even wear and tear.
