5 Tips To Help Fight Frizz This Summer

Essential prep steps and styling hacks to ensure glossy hair no matter the weather.

If smooth, glossy hair is on the agenda this summer, but the warm temperatures and high humidity are getting in your way, we feel your frustration.

The good news is all is not lost – a few tweaks to your hair care and styling routine could be all that you need to help fight frizz and fluffiness.

Make sure your hair is hydrated

Frizz happens when hair is dry and damaged. Basically the cuticle lifts up and lets in all that moisture from the air into your hair, causing it to become bigger and fluffier. The more hydrated your hair is, the flatter that cuticle will be. A great way to inject maximum moisture is with the Mermade Hair Repair Mask. Formulated with 17 reparative amino acids, it deeply conditions to leave hair (and scalp) strong and shiny.

Don’t use a towel to dry your hair

Hair is at its most vulnerable when it’s wet, so if you’re in the habit of rough-drying it with a towel after your shower, you could be unknowingly contributing to frizz and breakage. Instead, use the Bambury Matrix Microfibre Hairwrap to absorb the moisture quickly without causing that friction that could be damaging the hair cuticle.

Avoid overheating your hair

We’re all guilty of cranking up the temperature of our hairdryer to try to get things done faster, but the truth is that extreme heat causes hair damage that contributes to frizz and flyaways. Invest in a temperature-controlled dryer, like the Dyson Supersonic. The clever tech means that it’s always regulating the heat to ensure your hair is strong, healthy and shiny. Oh, and when you’re done drying, always remember to use the cool-shot button to seal in your style and increase shine.

Use frizz-fighting products

Once your style is done, it always pays to use a frizz-fighting product to seal the cuticle and prevent that fuzz. Schwarzkopf Professional OSIS+ Magic Anti-Frizz Shine Serum For Glossy Hair has been formulated to control frizz and smooth hair, while ensuring a silky, lightweight finish. For those who prefer an oil-based product, try Redken Frizz Dismiss Instant Deflate Oil, which has been specifically formulated to control the frizz caused by humidity.

Protect your hair at all costs

Prevention is always better than a cure, so fight frizz before it even starts by protecting it from the damage caused by heat styling. If you want a product that pulls double-duty by protecting it and smoothing it at the same time, use Pureology Smooth Perfection Smoothing Lotion on damp hair before styling. It’ll help protect hair against heat, while helping control those frizz and flyaways. Win-win!
