Whether or not your hair is damaged or just frizzy depends on how your hair looks.
You can determine if your hair is damaged or just frizzy by the texture and looking for any breakage or split ends as well as the shine and elasticity of the hair.
When your hair is just frizzy, the hair may appear coarse, dry and lack it's shine and the frizzy hair may also feel rough to the touch and won't break when it's pulled on.
Damaged hair will also often break or snap when pulled and appear dull and dry as well and lack it's shine.
Breakage of hair can also make the hair look frizzy due to the shorter strands coiling up more easily than the rest of the hair when exposed to humidity.
If the hair just looks frizzy and does not break it's often just frizzy and not damaged.
Compromised or damaged hair will look like dry, dull, brittle hair that is often prone to split ends, frizz and breakage and have a lack of shine and also a lack of elasticity to it.
