Some things are just simply out of your control when it comes to hair care. Humidity is at the top of the list of battles you’ll always have to face during the warm months. Everyone has had at least one day where they style their hair perfectly and then walk outside into a humid environment and it becomes frizzy instantly. We’ve got some tips to share to help you avoid these frustrating moments, and sometimes it’s as simple as applying a leave-in conditioner before you walk out the door.
Make Sure Your Hair is Dry Before Going Outside
Humidity loves wet hair and will turn it into a frizzy mess quickly. Make sure you have dry hair before walking outside to start your day, even if that means blow drying it if you’re short on time. If you do go outside with wet hair, your best bet to maintain a decent hairstyle is to pack around a spray bottle of water with you and spritz it occasionally to keep it wet.
Keep Your Hair Hydrated
Hydrated hair is another key to winning the humidity battle. Start by washing your hair with a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner. This product will cleanse the hair without stripping away too many of the natural oils that protect the strands. Other shampoos that contain sulfate may strip those natural oils, leading to dry hair that doesn’t stand a chance against humidity.
Use A Leave-In Conditioner
One product that’s always handy to have around is a leave-in conditioner. You can use it right after you get out of the shower or even a few minutes before you go outside. The extra moisture in the hair will help you keep frizziness under control and add a layer of protection from the humid air.
Aim For A More Natural Look
It’s easy to try too hard to fight the humidity battle and can get frustrating when you aren’t successful. Sometimes it’s best to just accept it and embrace a more natural hairstyle. As long as you use your sulfate free shampoo and conditioner, you shouldn’t have to deal with excessive frizziness. Wavy hairstyles are common during the summer months since humidity doesn’t impact them as much as straight hairstyles. This is a great way to combat the humidity and look great with very little effort.
