Frizzy, frizzy, dry, tousled hair...call it what you will, but we suffer from it too often. And boy do we hate this! Of course, there are various hair products and heat tools to combat frizz. But of course, with so many brands and products on the market, it is very difficult to make THE right decision. More importantly: a product that works for a long time! In this blog, you can read more about the causes of frizzy hair. But the best part, I think, is that I am going to share one of my favourite anti-frizz hair products with you. And it really works! It is not for nothing that even Kim Kardashian chooses this product for her shiny hair!
Oorzaken pluizig haar
We weten wat pluizig haar is, maar waarom pluist ons haar zo? Wat zijn de oorzaken van pluizig haar? Vaak ligt het aan ons haarritueel. Je kunt alle haarproducten kopen die je wilt, maar als jouw dagelijkse haargewoontes niet naar behoren zijn, kun je rekenen op pluizig haar. Dit zijn de meest voorkomende gewoontes die bijdragen aan de warrige haarbos waar we graag van af willen:
- Hydration: Lack of hydration is one of the biggest culprits. Many hair companions wash their hair daily. Not good! Remember water dries out hair! Try to wash your hair a maximum of 3 times a week. And make sure you regularly give your hair a boost of hydration through a cream rinse and a good hair mask. So moisturise your hair properly!
- Combing behaviour: If you comb your hair too aggressively, chances are you will break your hair off considerably that way. Broken hair is frizzy hair! Be especially careful if your hair is wet after washing. Wet hair breaks off more easily. We recommend using a leave-in conditioner and running your hands through your hair to make it easier to comb. When combing your hair, it is best to start at the bottom. So be nice to your locks!
- Dye: Are you at the hairdresser's every six weeks to update your hair? This is also disastrous. Make sure you wait at least 8 weeks before colouring your hair again. This way, the hair will absorb the colour better and you will better protect your hair from the dye. If you have doubts about the hair dye you are using, check carefully whether it is the right dye for your type of hair. Maybe another hair dye would be better for your hair after all!
- Moisture: When hair is treated or coloured, it absorbs much more moisture. You probably recognise it: have a nice hairstyle and after a few hours all you see is frizz due to humidity. So rain, humidity, hot days can all lead to frizzy hair. Anti-humidity hair products can help against this problem (read my favourite product below).
Dream Coat
You guys are obviously very curious about the product I swear by. (Drums) It is the Dream Coat from Color WoW. I hear everyone in the corridors talking about it. After all the positive stories, I decided to test the product myself to see if the results are really that good. If Kim Kardashian's famous hair stylist, Chris Appleton swears by the hair care, I think it's worth trying.
Welke Dream Coat?
- Color WoW Dream Coat Supernatural Spray: This product is aimed at making hair smooth, straight and moisture-resistant. If you have or are going to create straight hair, we recommend this variant. The polymers are activated by the heat of the hair dryer/style iron. I am going to test this one as I will be blow-drying/styling my hair.
- Color WoW Dream Coat for curly hair: The name says it all, this product focuses on defining curls. We all know that curls can often be quite stubborn and go their own way. This styling product will keep your curls very beautiful and defined. And it contains no alcohol! With this version of the Dream Coat, it is best to let your hair air dry.
I personally chose the Color WoW Dream Coat Supernatural Spray as I blow-dry and straighten my hair this time (see photo below). I could also have gone for the curly variant as my hair also has movement. My colleague Anouk did test the curly hair variant and is very happy with the results. Her curls look really groomed and defined (see 3rd photo).

Regenjas voor jouw haar!
What exactly does the Color WoW Dream Coat Supernatural Spray do? The secret behind frizz-free hair is the moisture content in the hair. By forming a thin layer (a kind of mackintosh) around the hair, the moisture level is maintained and the hair looks smooth. The Color WoW Dream Coat has an ultra-light formula that does not leave hair greasy or heavy unlike serums and oils. Activated by heat, when you blow-dry or style your hair, the micro-droplets form a protective layer that smooths the hair and acts as a mackintosh for your hair.
Gekleurd en behandeld haar nemen namelijk makkelijk water op waardoor het pluizig wordt. Als je jouw haar met Dream Coat behandelt stoten je lokken het water letterlijk af en nemen ze het water niet op. Het water blijft als het ware op je haar liggen en trekt niet in. Dit zorgt ervoor dat je niet langer bang hoeft te zijn voor regenachtige dagen, warme feestjes of vochtige klimaten! Ook door deze omstandigheden kan jij met pluisloos haar jouw dag doorkomen!
Own experience Color WoW Dream Coat Supernatural Spray?
Despite my sceptical thinking, I have to admit that I am surprised by the results. My frizzy locks are smooth! And after two washes, this is still the case. I think my hair has a new best friend ;-)! It is important, though, that you wet the hair well with the spray and then treat it with a heat tool (so that the polymers are activated). My colleague who tested Color WoW Dream Coat for curly hair had it a little easier as she didn't necessarily have to use a heat tool.
Gebruik Color WoW Dream Coat
- Was je haar goed, daarna verzorg je het haar met een goed masker (gebruik producten zonder siliconen)
- Kam je haar grondig uit
- Droog je haar. Als het handdoek droog is, breng je de spray aan. Zelf doe ik mijn haar in secties verdelen, zodat ik de spray makkelijker overal kan aanbrengen (zorg dat je jouw haar goed bevochtigt met de Dream Coat)
- Föhn je haar nu. Je kunt er ook voor kiezen om je haar globaal te föhnen en vervolgens met de stijl- of krultang af te maken.
*Using Color WoW Dream Coat for curly hair is almost the same, only in the last step you don't necessarily have to blow-dry your hair (it is not activated by heat). You can also let your curls dry in the air. If you do blow dry, we recommend using a diffuser.
*We raden aan geen andere haarproducten op het haar aan te brengen (na het wassen) voordat je de Dream Coat gebruikt. Naderhand kun je wel de gewenste stylingproducten gebruiken!
