HOW TO TAME FRIZZY HAIR DURING HUMID MONTHS
Summer is your ticket to lower maintenance hairstyles. From beachy waves to stylish up βdos to pixie cuts, this is the season to stow your heated styling tools and let freedom reign. Until humidity has its way with your locks and your look takes a turn from fresh to frizzy. No sweat. Follow our tips and tricks to tame frizzy hair during humid months.
7 Best Hair Products for Humidity
Other than hiding under a hat or never leaving your air conditioned home, itβs pretty difficult to avoid humidity during the hot summer months. Humidity affects all hair types but tends to cause the most frizz in hair that has natural waves or curls. Even meticulous blow dryer or curling iron habits can end up looking undone and frizzy once humidity enters the picture.
Excess water molecules in the air in humid weather bind to proteins in your hair strands, which make the strands look curly, wavy, andβ¦yepβ¦frizzy.
Here are the best products for frizzy hair in humidity. Youβll want to add these to your hair kit to tackle frizz throughout the humid season.

3. Smoothing Product
How well your hair will remain in style throughout the day has everything to do with how to "set" your hair. If you prep your hair adequately, it is more likely to combat any outside forces like humidity or dry air.
Start your daily styling routine with a smoothing product. One that has weight and relaxing properties. Even if it feels heavier than a product you would normally use, your hair needs this weight during high humidity months.
If you have fine hair, go with S4E's Hair Cream or L'Anza Design Foam which helps smooth the cuticle while also delivering volume.
Medium to Thick Hair should opt for EVO Easy Tiger Smoothing Balm. Apply it to wet hair before blow out or even use it on dry hair to break up waves and smooth ends.
Curly Hair guys and gals should go for a curl-defining product that also smooths the cuticle. Evolvh Dream Gel or Ouidad Advanced Climate Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel, as they each create shine while smoothing to curls so they're prepared to combat frizz.
If your curls love creams more than gels, go with Bestseller Briogeo Curl Charisma Leave In Defining Creme.

If you are a lover of a good blowout, you probably wonβt be able to fight the urge for an entire summer. Thatβs OK. Just make sure you blow the right way to fend off frizziness and keep things smooth. Always use a heat protectant spray when using a blow dryer or hot iron. Evo Day of Grace Pre Style Primer is famous for being the ultimate smoothing and heat protection product.
If your hair is fine and fragile, go with a heat protectant spray without hold before you blow out or iron, like Oway Thermo Detangling Cloud, which guards against humidity and heat up to 437Β°F. Which makes it your go-to for hairstyles requiring heated styling tools AND your humidity deflecting bestie.
It keeps your βdo looking picture perfect all day long along with the added bonus of UV protection.
6. Hair Oil
What humidity proof hair care lineup would be complete without a fabulous hair oil? Not using a hair oil? Thereβs no better time to try one. Use Oway Nurturing Drops, made with a wealth of nourishing fruit oils to protect against heat and humidity while keeping hair moisturized. Try this trickβsmooth hair oil through locks, from roots to ends, and smooth back into a bun. Allow oil to stay on hair for an hour or even overnight. The result is smooth, luscious, absolutely no frizz in sight, gloriously gorgeous hair.
7. Hair Spray
Don't leave the house without hairspray on humid days as they seal the cuticle and block moisture from entering the hair shaft.
