Taming hair in high humidity: How to combat frizz effectively
For some women, high humidity may not be a big problem, but for those with dry or damaged hair, it can ruin hair styling. Especially when we are on vacation, we look for ways to keep our hair straight and look beautiful in the photos. We'll show you a few effective tricks on how you can tame your hair in high humidity.
Wash your hair with cooler water, less often
If you wash your hair too often, you strip all of the natural oils from the hair and it no longer retains as much moisture. Therefore, it is important not to wash your hair more than once every two days. When doing this, make sure you set the water temperature to the coldest level you can tolerate. This tightens the scalp, makes the hair shinier and easier to style, and seals the pores so that no moisture can penetrate.
Dry your hair properly
If you go out with wet hair in high humidity, 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 remove as much water from your wet hair as possible.
The only way to keep your hair straight longer is to straighten it properly first, whether you use a hairdryer or a flat iron.
It's best to let your hair air dry at around 70-80% and then blow dry it slowly and carefully in individual layers using a round brush and a strong blow dryer.
If you have curly hair, it is recommended to remove the hair completelyto air dry. This helps the hair retain its moisture and makes it more resistant to high humidity.
Tame hair in high humidity: Blow dry with cold air
In order for your hair to stay straight longer in humid conditions, 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 cold air. This not only makes the hair softer and shinier, but it also stays smooth for longer. The cold air helps minimize heat damage and prevent frizzy hair.
Apply hairspray
Any hairdresser will tell you that it is important to set your hairstyle with hairspray. This is one of the best ways to combat frizz and tame hair in humid weather.
Use a light hairspray and spray some onto a comb or brush. Run it through your hair if it feels particularly frizzy.
Tie your hair up in summer
The easiest way to tame your hair in high humidity is to tie it up. Putting it up in a loose braid or bun will help prevent frizz and will also help keep hair away from your face and neck on particularly hot days.
Naturally moisturize your hair
In order to combat frizz properly and successfully, it is important to clean your hair regularly in summerto provide moisture. 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 combat frizz and flyaway hairs. Use a tablespoon or two of warm olive oil and apply it to the ends of your hair with a cotton ball. Wrap hair in a shower cap and wait 30 minutes. Wash the hair with shampoo to remove the excess oil and continue to condition as usual.
Coconut milk and lemon
Pour the coconut milk into a container and wait a few hours until a thicker layer forms. Skim 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 it particularly well into the roots and ends of your 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.
