The Best Hair Care Routine for Frizzy Hair in Humid Weather
1. Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner:
The foundation of any frizz-fighting haircare routine is a hydrating shampoo and conditioner. Look for products formulated with moisturizing ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, or argan oil to help nourish and smooth the hair cuticle, reducing frizz and flyaways. Avoid products containing sulfates, as these can strip the hair of its natural oils, leading to increased frizz in humid conditions.
2. Anti-Frizz Serum or Cream:
After washing and conditioning your hair, apply an anti-frizz serum or cream to damp hair to help seal the cuticle and prevent moisture from penetrating and causing frizz. Look for products containing ingredients like silicone or dimethicone, which create a barrier against humidity while adding shine and smoothness to the hair. Focus the product on the mid-lengths and ends, where frizz tends to be most noticeable.
3. Heat Protectant Spray
If you plan to use heat styling tools like a blow dryer or flat iron, be sure to apply a heat protectant spray beforehand to shield your hair from damage and minimize frizz. Look for a lightweight, non-greasy formula that won’t weigh down your hair or leave it feeling greasy. Spray the product evenly throughout your hair, focusing on the ends, before styling with heat. My all-time favorite is the Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray by Tresemme.
4. Avoid Over-Drying Your Curly Hair:
In humid weather, it’s tempting to blast your hair with a hair dryer to speed up the drying process, but this can actually make frizz worse. Instead, allow your hair to air dry as much as possible, using a diffuser attachment on your blow dryer if needed to gently dry your hair without disturbing the natural curl pattern. Once your hair is dry, avoid touching it too much to prevent frizz from forming.
5. Weekly Deep Conditioning Treatment:
To keep frizz at bay and maintain healthy, hydrated hair, incorporate a weekly deep conditioning treatment into your routine. Choose a rich, nourishing mask or treatment formulated specifically for dry or frizzy hair, and leave it on for the recommended amount of time to help restore moisture, repair damage, and smooth the hair cuticle. Use heat to get the best out of your hair conditioner.
With the right haircare routine, frizzy hair doesn’t stand a chance against humid weather. By incorporating hydrating shampoo and conditioner, anti-frizz serum or cream, heat protectant spray, and a weekly deep conditioning treatment into your routine, you can keep your locks looking smooth, sleek, and frizz-free, no matter how humid it gets. Say goodbye to frizzy hair and hello to your best hair this season!
These are some great tips for healthy hair growth! I especially believe in the power of a weekly deep conditioning treatment. You reminded me I need to pick one up now because I haven’t done one in a while and my hair is definitely in need on one! Let me know if you have any suggestions. :))
