FRIZZ Meaning and Definition

  1. Frizz is a term that refers to the state or condition of hair becoming dry, tangled, and forming irregular curls or waves, usually resulting in a puffy or bushy appearance. It is commonly associated with hair that is coarse, curly, or naturally prone to frizzing, but can also be caused by various external factors such as humidity, heat, or incorrect hair care practices.

    When hair frizzes, it loses its smoothness and becomes brittle, causing it to stick out in different directions and creating a fuzzy or unruly texture. Frizz can make the hair difficult to manage, prone to tangling, and may also lead to a lack of shine or luster.

    Many people use different techniques to combat frizz and smoothen their hair, including the use of anti-frizz products like serums, creams, or sprays that help to control and manage the hair's texture. Common methods to reduce frizz include blow-drying with a diffuser, using wide-tooth combs or brushes specifically designed for curly hair, or opting for hairstyles that help keep the hair in place and prevent excessive frizzing.

    In general, frizz is considered an unwanted aspect of hair appearance, and individuals with frizzy hair often seek ways to minimize or eliminate it to achieve a sleeker, more polished look.

  2. To form into small curls; to form into little hard prominences or burs, as the nap of cloth.
