Fall is here and with it comes humidity and rain. Is your hair becoming unmanageable, frizzy and losing its shine? Don't panic! Discover our tips for protecting your hair from humidity and avoiding frizz during this capricious season.
1. Understand the impact of humidity on your hair
Humidity is the number one enemy of hair, especially those that are naturally curly or wavy. It causes water to be absorbed into the hair fiber, leading to swollen cuticles and, consequently, frizz. The key to combating these unwanted effects is to maintain adequate moisture while creating a protective barrier around your hair fiber.
2. Use anti-frizz hair products
To protect your hair from humidity, choose products that are specially formulated to control frizz. Here's our pick of must-have products to help you out this fall:
- Color Wow Dream Coat: This is the most powerful waterproofer that can exist. There are several, the classic Dream Coat for all hair types, the Dream Coat for curly hair and the Dream Coat Extra Strength for thick or frizzy hair. Its formulation prevents humidity from penetrating your hair fiber and therefore keeps it looking smooth and shiny. It is a leave-in treatment to apply generously before drying your hair (it is thermo-active, without heat, it will not be able to work). You can apply it every three to four shampoos.
- Silk Oil Shampoo by Alter Ego: This is the ideal shampoo for hair lacking shine, unruly and frizzy. Its moisturizing and nourishing action does not weigh down the hair. It is also very effective against static electricity.
- Alter Ego Silk Oil Conditioner : Combined with Silk Oil Shampoo, you can say goodbye to frizz and hello to unmatched shine!
- Authentic Beauty Concept Curl Perfecting Gel : There is nothing better for your curly hair if you want to redefine your curls, while effectively controlling your frizz. It is a leave-in treatment to apply to your damp hair before drying with a diffuser for maximum volume.
Generally speaking, it is important to change your hair routine when fall and winter arrive. With the temperatures dropping and the gray weather returning, it is necessary to have a slightly more hydrating routine.
4. Deeply moisturize
Hydration is the key to preventing frizz. Use hydrating hair masks regularly, ideally once a week. You can opt for the hydrating mask or the intense hydration mask for curly hair from the Authentic Beauty Concept brand. You can also opt for the Momo range from Davines . This natural brand has stood out for its commitment to the environment and the effectiveness of its products! Composed of a shampoo and a conditioner, the Momo range is ideal for deeply hydrating your lengths.
Tip: Apply the mask to damp hair, then wrap it in a warm towel for 15 to 20 minutes for optimal absorption.
7. Don’t forget your silk pillowcase
Sleeping with a silk pillowcase can help reduce frizz. Unlike cotton, these materials glide over your hair and minimize friction, reducing breakage and frizz.
8. Apply a hair oil or serum
Lightweight hair oils or serums are great for sealing in moisture and creating a barrier against humidity. Apply a small amount to damp or dry hair, focusing on the ends, to help smooth flyaways and prevent frizz. For example, you can opt for the sublimating oil from Authentic Beauty Concept, a real gem for adding shine and hydration. For curly hair, you can opt for the curl enhancing serum, also from Authentic Beauty Concept. Whether on damp or dry hair, it is ideal for adding hydration, reducing frizz and slightly redefining your curls.
In conclusion
Battling humidity and frizz in the fall doesn’t have to be a losing battle. With the right products, a tailored care routine, and a few simple tips, you can keep your hair smooth, shiny, and frizz-free all season long. Take care of your hair, and it will stay gorgeous, even when the weather gets gray!
