How To Protect Your Hair Against Humidity

Protect Your Hair From Humidity At Natural Hair Company In Lisburn

Summer is a time for beach trips, barbecues, and outdoor adventures. Unfortunately, the increased humidity that comes with the season can leave your hair looking frizzy and unruly. Humidity affects all hair types, making it difficult to maintain smooth and sleek styles. However, with the right products, techniques and treatments at Natural Hair Company in County Antrim, you can keep your hair looking its best all summer long.

Hydrate and Condition Your Hair

The foundation of humidity-resistant hair is proper hydration. Well-moisturised hair is less likely to absorb excess moisture from the air, which helps prevent frizz.

Choose sulphate-free, hydrating shampoos and conditioners that help retain moisture. You can also incorporate a weekly deep conditioning treatment or hair mask into your routine. These treatments penetrate deeper into the hair shaft, providing intense hydration and repairing damage.

After hydrating your hair, it's crucial to lock in that moisture to prevent frizz. Apply a leave-in conditioner after washing your hair to provide an extra layer of moisture and protection against humidity. Use lightweight hair oils or serums with humidity-fighting ingredients. These products create a barrier that seals in moisture and keeps humidity out. Argan oil and jojoba oil serums are excellent choices for this.

Style Smartly

The way you style your hair can significantly impact how well it withstands humidity.

Before styling, apply anti-frizz products that are specifically formulated to combat humidity. Look for creams, gels, or sprays that provide long-lasting frizz control. If you use heat styling tools, always apply a heat protectant spray or serum. These products shield your hair from high temperatures and help smooth the hair cuticle, making it less susceptible to frizz. Hairstyles that keep your hair contained, such as braids, buns, and ponytails, are excellent for reducing frizz. These styles minimise exposure to humid air and help maintain a polished look.

Use can use a microfiber towel or a soft cotton t-shirt to dry your hair instead of a regular towel. These materials are gentler on the hair and help reduce friction, which can lead to frizz. When using a blow dryer, opt for the cool air setting to finish drying your hair. Cool air helps to seal the hair cuticle and lock in moisture, resulting in smoother hair.

Avoid Over-Washing

Washing your hair too frequently can strip it of natural oils, leading to dryness and increased frizz.

Try to wash your hair less often, using dry shampoo to freshen up in between washes. This helps preserve your hair's natural moisture balance.

Consider co-washing (washing with conditioner only) to keep your hair hydrated without over-drying it. This method is especially beneficial for curly and textured hair types.
