Normally, running a hair straightener through my strands as well as maybe some styling spray you wouldn't even notice that the frizz at all.
But, on those humid or rainy days, it takes a bit more to tame my hair.
Here are some tips that I recommend when it comes to taming the frizz on humid or rainy days.
Use an Anti-Frizz Shampoo and Conditioner
I actually use an anti-frizz shampoo and conditioner on a regular basis and can really notice the difference between this shampoo and using a regular shampoo. There are several different brands that offer this type of shampoo but I would recommend that you go with a higher quality brand that will actually work rather than waste your money on a drugstore brand that you probably won't notice a difference with.
One brand that I would recommend is Brazilian Blowout Acai Anti-Frizz Shampoo. Although your hair won't look as smooth as if you got a real Brazilian Blowout at the salon, it will definitely help to tame the frizzies.
Use a Weather Proof Spray After Styling Your Hair
There are holding sprays as well as hairsprays that are designed to be weather proof and actually will help repel any humidity or moisture away from your strands. If you are looking for a holding spray to help hold your style in place, then you will want to find a weather proof spray that also has holding power. On the other hand, if you want your hair to simply be soft and not worry about holding your style as much, look for a spray that simply is weather proof but not a holding product.
I recommend Big Sexy Hair Weather Proof Spray for anyone simply looking for a good finishing spray to repel the humidity.
Avoid Brushing Your Hair Once It Is Dry
Brushing your hair when it is dry can actually make your hair even frizzier. Brushing can damage your hair's cuticle, which is the part of the strand that makes it look frizzy. If you have frizzy hair, you will want to simply stick with combing/brushing when it is wet and then simply letting it be once you have it styled and dry.
I know that I notice if I brush my hair when it is dry it may not look as frizzy as first, but then about 5 or so minutes later it looks even frizzier.
Use a Frizz Ease Serum for a Quick Fix
If you find that your normal routine is not cutting down the frizz on a really humid day, then you may want to keep a good frizz ease serum on hand for a quick fix. These serums or lotions help to add some oil into the hair to help tame your tresses, but you do need to be careful to not add too much as it can also make hair look greasy.
I have used John Frieda Frizz Ease Sheer Solution as well as Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum and both have been okay products although I currently am using the Paul Mitchell serum now.
Cute Ponytails and Buns Make Great Hairstyles
Sometimes I simply let nature win and gather my hair back into a cute ponytail or a bun. This works well for those hot and humid summer days when you don't want your hair down on you neck anyways. You can definitely find some cute styles that are professional and mature and won't make you look like a 12 year old girl going to cheerleading camp.
What are your hair care secrets to taming the frizz on those rainy or super humid days?
