High humidity can quickly become a hair problem, especially with curls. These styling tips can help reduce frizz.
High humidity is one of the most uncomfortable side effects of summer – especially for those who are blessed with wavy or curly hair. Even the best styled hairstyle with a lot of hairspray often cannot hold its own against high humidity. These hair care tips can then be helpful.
Wash your hair with cold water
Warm showers are definitely more comfortable for the body – but not necessarily healthier. Cold water is better for both skin and hair. Preferably as cold as you can stand it yourself. Washing your hair with cold water gives your hair more shine and makes it less frizz-free.
Dry hair completely
Although it feels comfortable in summer heat to leave the house with slightly damp hair, it is by no means helpful in high humidity. Either let the hair air dry completely or help with the blow dryer.
Moisture and care for the ends of the hair
Brittle or dry hair suffers more from high humidity. It is therefore important that the ends of the hair in particular are in a healthy condition. Leave-in conditioners or hair oils, for example, can help provide the hair with moisture and protect it from frizz. Shampoo and conditioner should also be as moisturizing as possible.
A little heat can help
Applying a little heat, such as a straightening iron or curling iron, to the hair after it is dry can help protect it from humidity. You should rather take smaller strands of hair at once instead of working on larger sections. And don’t forget the heat protection!
