As spring gives way to summer, we at Tribe Hair Co. are thrilled. However, we detest the humidity that warm weather brings. Nothing is worse than spending the entire morning doing your hair, only to have it all become frizzy the moment you step outdoors. Because we understand how annoying frizzy hair from humid weather can be, we've included some advice that will help you keep your locks under control even on the hottest summer days.
Use an anti-frizz serum
Using a frizz-fighting serum to damp hair might help add an additional layer of moisture. We adore Bumble and bumble's Straight Blow Dry cream and Olaplex's No. 7 Bonding Oil. In extremely humid weather, these products can help maintain hair silky and manage frizz. As soon as you step out of the shower, apply the suggested amount of serum to your hair before blow-drying and styling.
Keep your hair up
The simplest method to keep your hair under control in humid weather is to style it into a simple updo. Humidity makes curly hair particularly prone to frizziness; to prevent your hair from growing out like Monica Geller did while on vacation in Friends, tie your curls up in a loose topknot. During those really hot summer days, a loose braid or bun will also assist keep your hair out of your face and off your neck.
Moisturize with shea butter & oils
The secret to preventing frizz in your hair is to keep it hydrated. For thick hair, coconut oil, whipped shea butter, and black castor oil are excellent sealants. To lock in your look, just dab a little bit on before leaving the house. A tiny amount goes a long way. After styling, moisturizing oils can help smooth the outermost layer of your hair strands, which you want to maintain flat to prevent against humidity.
Look for anti-frizz shampoo & conditioner
Silicone, a common ingredient in anti-frizz treatments, has the ability to reduce volume. Seek for silicone-free smoothing shampoos and conditioners, such as those made by Olaplex or Bumble & bumble. You may prolong the smoothness of your hair by using a leave-in smoothing product after washing it.
Work with your natural hair textures
There will inevitably be days when you just don't have enough time to arrange your hair the way you would like. Your hair absorbs water from the air and tries to return to its original texture in humid conditions, which can cause it to become frizzy. Using a straightener might not be worth the time if your hair is naturally curly because it can dry it out and increase frizz. Select a holding spray, such as this beloved option from Bumble & Bumble, to finish off your appearance after going with a straightforward style that highlights your natural hair texture.
Dry your hair with a super-absorbent towel
It's like setting off a frizz bomb when you walk outside in humid weather with wet hair; your hair tries to dry in the damp air, which can lead to issues. After taking a shower, try to get as much water out of your hair as you can, blow it out if you can, or let it air dry indoors until it's cold before going outside. Squeeze out as much water as you can from your damp hair with a microfiber towel. Remember that your head is not a bowling ball, so don't rough handle your damp hair! Squeezing will lessen damage and enhance texture.
Try a keratin treatment
If humidity causes your hair to become frizzy or if you simply want to avoid spending too much time straightening your hair in the morning, a keratin treatment is the best way to save time. In addition to cutting your styling time in half, a Brazilian blowout or keratin treatment can help keep your hair glossy and silky for longer after you leave the salon. Here, you may schedule a blowout or keratin treatment session!
Use gel & other holding products
Your best bet is to use gel or hairspray to keep your hair in place all day if you want to be sure your style survives the humidity. A lightweight hairspray can help maintain your hair touchable, flowing, and silky. One such product is Bumble & bumble's Curl Anti-Humidity Gel-Oil. Gel's more robust hold might aid in holding curly hair in place. Expert advice: use an unused toothbrush sprayed with hairspray to control flyaways. Just smooth flyaways away with a brush, then finish the style by softly misting your hair with holding or smoothing spray.
