frizziness

Unruly hair texture

Frizziness is the state of hair being frizzy—unruly, with small tight curls or flyaway strands that resist smoothness.

It typically results from humidity, dryness, or damage: The humidity made her frizziness impossible to control.

Hair products often promise to combat frizziness.
