Sydney’s humid climate can wreak havoc on hair, causing frizz, flyaways, and unmanageable locks. But don’t worry! At HAIR AT GREENWOOD, we have the ultimate guide to keeping your hair smooth, sleek, and frizz-free, no matter how high the humidity gets.
Why Does Humidity Cause Frizz?
Humidity causes the hair’s cuticle to swell, leading to frizz and lack of control. The more porous your hair, the more it absorbs moisture from the air, making it difficult to maintain a sleek style.
Top Tips for Frizz-Free Hair
1. Start with the Right Shampoo & Conditioner
Use sulfate-free, hydrating shampoos and conditioners that smooth the hair cuticle.
Look for ingredients like keratin, argan oil, or shea butter to lock in moisture.
2. Apply a Leave-In Conditioner or Serum
A lightweight leave-in conditioner helps to keep moisture levels balanced.
Anti-frizz serums with silicone or natural oils create a protective barrier against humidity.
3. Towel-Dry Gently
Rubbing your hair with a towel causes friction and frizz. Instead, pat or wrap it in a microfiber towel to absorb excess water.
4. Use a Heat Protectant Before Styling
Heat styling tools can dry out hair, making it more prone to frizz. Always apply a heat protectant spray before blow-drying or using hot tools.
5. Blow-Dry with a Round Brush
Blow-drying with a round brush helps to smooth the cuticle and lock in your style.
Finish with a cool shot to seal the hair and reduce frizz.
6. Opt for Anti-Frizz Salon Treatments
Keratin Smoothing Treatments: These long-lasting treatments eliminate frizz and improve hair texture.
Olaplex & Deep Conditioning Masks: Strengthen and hydrate hair for a smoother finish.
7. Choose the Right Haircut
Layers can help reduce bulk and frizz, but avoid over-layering, which can make hair look poofy.
A blunt cut can help keep frizz at bay, especially for fine hair types.
8. Avoid Overwashing
Washing hair too often strips natural oils, making it more susceptible to frizz.
Try washing every 2–3 days and using a dry shampoo in between.
9. Sleep on a Silk Pillowcase
Cotton pillowcases cause friction, leading to frizz and breakage. A silk pillowcase reduces static and helps hair stay smooth.
10. Use Humidity-Resistant Hair Spray
A finishing spray with anti-humidity properties helps hold your style in place and keeps frizz under control.
