Frizzy Hair Hacks for Humid Summer Weather

    Summer is here, and what comes first to your mind is the beach, vacation, or weddings. But then what? Summer often brings intense heat, humidity, and sweating, which can leave your hair looking frizzy and flat or dry. If you're living in India or other humid parts of the world, then you know how hard it is to maintain your hair looking sleek and under control during the hot and sticky summer months. Do you want to keep your hair healthy and stunning this summer? You’re at the right place as Keraology is here to give you the best tips!

    Why Does Humidity Make Hair So Frizzy?

    Before we get to the tips, let's first get a quick idea of what's happening with your hair. Hair strands have a protective outer layer known as the cuticle. When there is high humidity, water from the air gets absorbed into your hair shaft since the cuticle opens up slightly. This added moisture makes your hair swell up and puff, which manifests as frizz. Individuals with particular hair types such as curly, wavy, or dry hair or those with damaged or porous locks are more prone to frizz. If your hair is dehydrated or has rugged cuticles, it's like having an open door for humid air to get in and cause chaos. Don’t panic; well you are at the right place. There are various ways to solve your frizz problem!

    Let’s start with simple steps:

    Whether you’re a beginner who is going to start a hair care routine or you already have a routine, with these simple tips and tricks, this summer your hair is going to be on the next level!

    1. Start with Moisturizing Shampoos & Conditioners

    The first and basic thing about your hair is that it must be clean, which means washing your hair with the right shampoo and conditioner at the right time. This means washing your hair twice or three times a week. The right shampoo and conditioner provide a foundation for strong, frizz-free hair. Choose shampoo & conditioners that are hydrating or moisturizing descriptions that include conditioning ingredients like sea buckthorn berry oil, wheat protein, soy protein, amino acids, collagen and nano-keratin. These smooth out the hair cuticle and trap in natural moisture without stripping away your hair's natural oils.

    Also, try to choose sulfate-free, paraben-free & SLS-free shampoos. Sulfates will sometimes dry your hair, which can cause frizz, particularly in humid climates, paraben may cause scalp irritation or sensitivity & SLS can strip natural oils from the scalp and hair.

    2. Deep Condition Weekly

    Only washing your hair would not help, you have to apply hair masque that also once or twice a week, and indulge your hair in a moisturizing deep conditioning masque or treatment. These are not your regular conditioner, they provide an extra dose of hydration for your hair, nourish and protect from heat and environmental damage, repairing and fortifying individual strands. By conditioning your hair deeply, masque reduces frizz and tangles, and adds thickness & shine.

    3. Apply Lightweight Anti-Frizz Serums or Oils

    After washing your hair, while it’s still damp, try applying a small amount of lightweight, non-greasy serum or hair oil. These products form a protective barrier on the hair surface, sealing the cuticle and preventing excess moisture from entering. Plus, they make hair soft, silky & super smooth which makes your hair look healthy. A perfect oil or serum helps you to repair split ends and adds brilliant shine, you can choose to purchase argan oil or sea buckthorn berry oil where you get these benefits.

    4. Reduce Heat Styling

    Since it’s summertime, we have vacations, wedding season, beach parties, and so on. This leads to too much heat from straightening, curling irons, or blow-drying the hair, which can dry your hair out and dried hair frizzes more! So now onwards you can use serum because serum acts as a shield before straightening, curling irons, or blow-drying or else to make your hassle-free life easier you can go for treatments like Nanoplastia or Botox which repairs all types of frizzy, damaged, dry, and dull hair, it depends which company product is being used for treatments like this, I would recommend Keraology products that is Collatin Nanoplastia and Blue Sapphire BTX to be used which repairs all types of hair, repairs internal and external layers of hair, there is no hash fumes, no color lifting (except fashion color) and so on.

    5. Select Hairstyles That Fight Frizz

    At other times, simple styles can prevent frizz by restricting the amount of hair that rubs against clothing or itself. Braids, buns, and ponytails are great options in humid weather. They keep your hair in place and minimize static and breakage.

    6. Sleep on Silk or Satin Pillowcases

    This advice may come as a shock, but sleeping on a cotton pillowcase can lead to friction that dries out the hair cuticle, frizzing up your locks overnight. Making the change to silk or satin pillowcases allows your hair to glide smoothly as you turn and toss, keeping shine and smoothness intact.

    Here are some products to help you tame your frizz.

    If you want frizz-free hair then these are some must products for your hair

    • Sulfate-free, Paraben-free & SLS-free Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner: Search for sulfate-free, paraben-free & SLS-free products that are nourished with moisturizing oils, butter, and proteins. Try to find one shampoo & conditioner that doesn’t contain all these things, to think about it, the first thing that comes to my mind is the Keraology Teaser Shampoo & De-stress Conditioner.
    • Deep Conditioning Hair Masque: Apply once a week to restore damage as well as to reduce frizz, add thickness & shine. If you want to nourish your hair and protect it from heat & environmental damage then you can use collatin masque the all in one round where all this problem can be solved.
    • Lightweight Hair Serums or Oils: Apply to damp hair to seal the cuticle and lock out humidity. Use sea buckthorn berry oil which makes your hair soft, silky and adds brilliant shine.
    • Leave-In Conditioners: They detangle, add moisture, and offer all-day frizz control.
    • Heat Protectant Sprays: A must-have if you use any heat styling tools to minimize damage.

    • Healthy Diet: Eat foods that have vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats that nourish your hair and avoid junk food.
