About Defrizer

What is it? What is it for?

Contrary to what the name implies and what many people think, the defrizzer is not just a hair product that acts against the shivering strands, called frizz.

In fact, this is even one of the functions of the product, but not the only one.

The straightener, in fact, is a product indicated for those who use a hairdryer and flat iron, since the product creates a protective layer around the hair, helping to protect the hair from high temperatures, in addition to facilitating the process of straightening the hair. locks, giving the hair a smooth flat appearance.

In addition to helping in the process of straightening the hair with a hairdryer and flat iron, the other function of the product comes in, which is to protect the strands from moisture, preventing the formation of the well-known frizz.

 

What are its benefits?

For those who have doubts whether it is worth investing in a hair defrizzer, we have gathered the main advantages and benefits of this type of product.

• Protects the Hair: the idea of ​​the straightener is to create a layer around the hair, protecting it against the high temperatures of the dryer and flat iron, but this only happens in straighteners that have a thermal protector. However, in addition to the thermal protector options, some also offer protection against UV rays, which helps protect the hair from exposure to the sun.
• Helps to Model: one of the great advantages of using this product on the hair is the fact that it helps when brushing the strands, because most defrizzers have silicones and products that facilitate brushing. Therefore, the use of the product helps to smooth and leave the effect smooth for longer, which can reduce the time of brushing the locks.
• Prevents Frizz: Another great advantage and benefit of this hair product is the fact that the defrizzer is a great ally against the humidity of straightened hair. The product acts by creating a protective layer around the strands and this makes the hair less frizzy, due to the humidity in the air.

 

Who Can Use?

The defrizzer is a very democratic product that can be used on all hair types, but may have restrictions for those who follow low and no poo techniques; therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the list of ingredients and compounds in this type of product.

Another fact to be aware of is whether the product is thermoactivated, that is, that it only gives results with the use of temperature sources, such as a dryer. In these cases, the indication of thermoactivated defrizzers is restricted to those who intend to use heat sources, since the product will only be activated at high temperatures.

 

Defrizzing X Thermal Protector: What's the difference?

Among so many hair products, confusion about the action of each one is not uncommon.

And in the midst of these confusions, a common question is about defrizzers and thermal protectors, since both are indicated for those who use heat sources, such as dryers, flat irons and curling irons.

To solve the doubt and avoid the mistake of thinking that they are similar products, let's go to an explanation and the differences about these products.

• Defrizzing: this product is mainly focused on helping to style hair straightened with a hairdryer and/or flat iron, making the process easier and keeping the strands protected from moisture, which prevents frizz. However, the defrizzer can have among its benefits the thermal protector, which helps to protect the thread from high temperatures, but this is an addition of some brands, and not a characteristic of the product itself.
• Thermal Protector: those who are adept at using heat sources in their hair cannot give up this product, which has the main function of creating a protective layer on the strands, protecting them from high temperatures and preventing the locks from losing moisture and looking dried out due to the use of a hairdryer, flat iron and curling iron.

 

The thermal protector should always be used before taking high temperatures to the locks, and in the case of straighteners without thermal protector, the tip is to apply the protector first and then the straightener, combining the advantages of these two products to keep the strands healthy.

 

How to Use Correctly?

There are not many secrets to using this type of product, but there are tips that make the effect better.

In this case, the first tip is to apply the defrizzer with the strands still damp and without excess water. Another tip is the amount of product applied, which should be a small amount so as not to give the dry hair a “heavy” and dirty look.

And to finalize the tips on how to use the hair product, another precaution is in relation to the application site, preventing the product from being applied to the roots and scalp, so that the hair does not look greasy.
