However, if you have frizzy hair, you know that humidity is your worst enemy when you're constantly outside. What can you do to counteract the natural tendencies of your unruly hair? Thankfully, the world of beauty is on your side.
There are plenty of products available that can help you achieve sleek, smooth locks that are frizz-free. Here are just 7 of our favorites.
1. Professional-Grade Shampoo & Conditioner
First things first, you need to get back to the basics. If you're still using cheap shampoo, you need to toss out those bottles now and go to your nearest salon.
You truly get what you pay for when it comes to the quality of shampoo and conditioner. If you neglect this basic step, any other products or treatments you use won't be nearly as effective.
Salon-grade shampoo is certainly more expensive, but the effects they have on your hair is worth every penny. There are professional shampoos specifically made to calm frizzy hair and prep your hair for sleek styling.
If you're in doubt on which to buy, your stylist can help direct you to the best smoothing shampoos and conditioners for your hair type.
2. Hair Masks
All hair types benefit from this intense hair repair therapy. These masks lock in moisture into your hair just like sheet masks do for your face.
This periodic treatment can be done once or twice a week, which can help keep your hair as smooth as possible. Often frizz is a result of dry, product treated hair. A deep conditioning mask will replenish and smooth your hair.
This is a good maintenance treatment to heighten the effects of your keratin hair treatment if you had one at the beginning of the season.
3. Heat Protecting Hair Spray
Before you flat iron or blow dry your hair, you need to protect your hair from heat damage. Heat and dryness are the biggest aggressors for frizzy hair, and styling tools, unfortunately, exacerbate the problem.
If you protect your hair with the proper products, however, you can guard them against moisture loss that makes your hair brittle from damage.
This heat protecting spray by AG called Firewall is a fine example of a spray you use before you even let the dryer or flat iron touch your locks.
4. Hair Oil
This product can be used before and after styling to tame and moisturize frizzy hair. Some popular variations are Manuca Flower Honey and Argan oil. Applying a few drops into your hair while you're using a hair mask can also add a boost of shine and fortification. You can also use organic coconut oil on your hair as a natural deep conditioner.
5. Leave-in Conditioner
Sometimes there isn't time to do a hair mask or even hit the styling tools. This is when a few spritzes of leave-in conditioner can help tame your locks as they dry.
This is also a good added support to dry hair that is prone to becoming tangled, making it easy to brush your hair after the shower.
If you want to stock up on a good one, try our leave in serum, which is definitely a cut above any of the products you'd find in the drug store.
Why? This product's light formula is easily absorbed into your hair without leaving any residue, unlike its cheaper competitors that feel sticky and often weigh down your hair.
6. Pomade
Frizzy hair can still present flyaways even after careful styling. A pomade is an excellent tool against these rogue hairs as it can be used to smooth out rogue frizzes and curls.
Just a little bit of sealing in moisture can add softness and shine to dry and frizzy hair and also add some control. For starters, try AG’s Smoothing Balm.
7. Use Finishing Spray
For the most time-strapped of individuals, styling your hair every morning can take too much time.
Avoid the dreaded bed-head and still look polished with a frizz control finishing spray. This will give you a sleek look, no matter what your hair texture. You do not need to use very much of this product to see results. Simply spritz it on the hair and brush it out for a smoother look.
Most anti-frizz finishing sprays also contain anti-humidity agents, to help avoid summer frizz.
Bonus Tip: Smooth Out With a Keratin Hair Treatment
At the beginning of any season, especially summer, you should get a keratin treatment to tame your hair. This powerful procedure strengthens, straightens, and smoothes out your hair.
Its main component, keratin, is a protein that naturally occurs in your hair, so when it's infused into brittle and frizzy hair, you're left with beautiful and luscious locks.
Following this treatment with regular at-home care with good products is essential to extend the life of your keratin hair treatment. You can request a keratin treatment at your local salon, or you can do it yourself with a keratin mask.
