Humidity, Hair, & Hallelujah: The Ultimate Guide to Winning the War on Frizz
Welcome to the final moments of the battle between the two most powerful foes: beautiful hair and boring humidity! This epic warfare isn't a new phenomenon that has only affected you. In fact, it lasts for centuries, leaving many a head of hair in a frizzy, disastrous mess.
However, there is no need to panic because if you arm yourself with knowledge and the necessary tools, you will easily win this battle once and for all. So, buckle up because together, we will sail into the world of humidity-proof hair.
From Frizzy to Fabulous: Mastering the Art of Humidity-Proof Hair
Today, our team of experts has prepared only the most relevant, science-backed tips for you, ensuring you know everything you need to know to keep your hair looking fabulous no matter what Mother Nature throws at you. Well, let's get into the details!
Choose the Right Hairstyle
Choosing the right one, as with any other situation in life, is the key to success. The same can be said for hairstyles. Even though sometimes you aren't in the mood to deal with your hair, or maybe you are just tempted to let it flow freely in the wind, trust us, this is a recipe for disaster. The math is more than simple; look at it this way: the more humidity your hair is exposed to, the more frizz you will have to deal with.
What should you do? Relax; braids, buns, and updos are your allies in the humidity war. Aside from being extremely simple to pull off, these hairstyles keep your hair out of your face and off your neck, reducing the amount of hair exposed to the elements we so despise. Plus, they are so chic and stylish that they are appropriate for any occasion, such as going to the gym, work, or a wedding.
Use a Heat Protectant
Although we all have personal weather preferences, we can assure you that we have never met anyone who enjoys any humidity level. It not only makes us feel sticky, dirty, or uncomfortable, but it can also cause serious hair problems.
Did you know that using styling tools like blow dryers, flat irons, and curling wands on a regular basis makes your hair vulnerable to the negative effects of humidity? However, this is not a reason to stop using them; rather, reach for heat protectant sprays and serums. Consider them your allies in this battle because they create a barrier between your hair and the heat by locking in moisture, leaving your hair shiny, healthy, and protected from the elements.
Are you looking for a PRO Tip? Take note of the ingredients used, as not all are created equal. Avoid products with high alcohol content, as it can dry out your hair and make it more prone to frizz. Instead, opt for heat protectants with a high percentage of natural ingredients, such as argan oil, which can keep your hair supple and protected. If you are unsure whether you have an appropriate product, don't hesitate to contact our stylists.
Instead Of Regular Pillowcases, Use Silk Ones.
Have you ever awoken with such a bad hairstyle only to discover that it's not just your hair that's out of control but also humidity? You are, however, not alone! Many people were surprised to learn that pillowcase is one of the leading causes of bad hairstyles. And when moisture enters the picture... well, then suddenly, everything becomes clear.
The point is that silk is a natural fibre that is soft and smooth, and hair loves it. It glides over your hair, keeping it from becoming matted or knotted while you sleep. Did you know that when your body gets too hot, you sweat and that ultimately causes your hair to become frizzy? That is why a silk pillowcase can be highly beneficial because it is cool to the touch and can keep you and your hair comfortable all night.
Drench Your Locks in Love, aka Conditioner
If you want to come out on top in this tedious war, there is one mantra you need to comply with without question: condition, condition, condition!
Conditioning is an important part of any hair routine as it hydrates the hair while keeping it healthy and protected from all environmental elements, including humidity.
Deep conditioning at least once a week creates a barrier that seals in moisture and protects your hair from the effects of humidity. Our stylists always recommend that you look for conditioners specifically designed for your hair type and the climate in which you live. Here's what they say:
Fine hair should use a lightweight, volumizing conditioner that won't weigh it down.
Those with curly or coarse hair should choose a hydrating conditioner with natural oils like coconut or argan oil from the store shelves to keep their curls defined and frizz-free.
In any case, stick to this mantra, and you'll soon notice how much your hair will appreciate it!
