Taming hair in high humidity: How to effectively combat frizz
For some women, high humidity may not be a big problem, but for those with dry or damaged hair, it can ruin hairstyling. Especially when we are on vacation we look for ways to keep our hair straight and look beautiful in the photos. We show you a few effective tricks on how to tame your hair in high humidity.
Wash your hair with cooler water, less often
If you wash your hair too often, you remove all of the natural oils from the hair and it doesn’t hold as much moisture. Therefore, it is important not to wash your hair more than every two days. Make sure you set the water temperature to the coldest level you can stand. This tightens the scalp, makes the hair shinier and easier to style, and seals the pores to keep moisture out.
Dry your hair properly
If you go out with wet hair when the humidity is high, you will end up with an overly frizzy hairstyle. To avoid frizz from the start, you should dry your hair properly and completely.
Invest in a microfiber hair towel and try to use it to remove as much water as possible from your wet hair.
The only way to keep your hair straight longer is to straighten it properly first, whether you use a hair dryer or flat iron to do it.
It is best to let your hair air dry at around 70-80% and then blow dry slowly and carefully in individual layers using a round brush and a strong blow dryer.
For curly hair, it is recommended to let the hair air dry completely. In this way you help the hair to retain its moisture and make it more resistant to high humidity.
Taming hair in high humidity: blow-dry with cold air
In order for your hair to stay straighter longer in humidity, it is very important to finally blow dry it with cold air. After straightening your hair, take a large soft brush and blow dry your hair with cool air. This not only makes the hair softer and shinier, but also keeps it smooth for longer. The cold air helps minimize heat damage and prevent frizzy hair.
Apply hairspray
Any barber will tell you that setting your hairstyle with hairspray is important. This is one of the best ways to combat frizz and tame hair in humid weather.
Use a light hold hairspray and spritz some onto a comb or brush. Run it through your hair if it feels particularly frizzy.
Tie your hair up in the summer
The easiest way to tame your hair when the humidity is high is to tie it up. Putting them up in a loose braid or bun can help prevent frizz, and it also helps keep hair off your face and neck on particularly hot days.
Moisturize hair naturally
In order to fight frizz properly and successfully, it is important to regularly moisturize the hair in summer. In addition to the moisturizing shampoo, you can also treat them with some natural remedies.
With olive oil
Try a deep conditioner with olive oil, which can help fight frizz and flyaways. Use a tablespoon or two of warm olive oil and apply to the ends of your hair with a cotton ball. Wrap hair in a shower cap and wait 30 minutes. Shampoo hair to remove excess oil and continue conditioning as usual.
coconut milk and lemon
Pour the coconut milk into a jar and wait a few hours for a thicker layer to form. Scoop off the cream layer with a spoon and add 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Add 3 drops of lavender, chamomile and burdock root oil. These essential oils smooth frizzy hair.
Leave the mixture in the fridge overnight and apply to hair the next day. Rub them particularly well into the roots and ends of the hair. Leave it on for no more than an hour and wash your hair with warm water and shampoo. To achieve the desired result, repeat this procedure 2-3 times a week.
