5 Ways to Tame Your Summer Hair Frizz

Summer is the perfect time to look your best. The added sunlight actually provides your hair follicles with a dose of vitamin D, promoting hair growth. This is a great way to improve the health of your hair, especially for those concerned about hair loss. However, the summer heat and humidity can also turn your scalp into a frizz forest. No matter the type of hair you have, frizz is a common issue that can be controlled. Here are 5 ways to tame your summer hair frizz:

Shampoo Your Hair Less

Yes, you read that right. You do not need to use shampoo daily. We recommend shampooing your scalp 2-3 times a week. Shampoo helps remove dirt, pollutants and product build-up, but it also strips away the natural oils we need to keep our hair moisturized. Instead, try a water rinse, using conditioner only, or experimenting with dry shampoo. Verb™ dry shampoo powder is a great option.

Trim Your Hair Regularly

Split ends worsen with time, which can increase the frizziness of your hair. To prevent this, it’s important to receive consistent maintenance on your hair. We recommend trimming your hair every 6-8 weeks to prevent frizz caused by split ends. Build regularly scheduled haircuts into your routine. Your hair will thank you.

Turn Down The Heat On Your Hair Tools

Blow-drying your hair is a common technique used to achieve certain styles and volume. However, many people become dependent on this practice, inevitably damaging their hair from the heat of the device. It’s always a good idea to allow your hair to air-dry as often as possible. Though, if you are going to use a heat styling tool, we recommend keeping your setting on cool. Invest in a quality blow-dryer. Tourmaline dryers naturally produce negative ions to fight frizz, though you can find ionic ceramic or titanium dryers work well depending on your hair type.

Compliment Your Hair With The Right Products

The right products can really help tame your frizz. Moisture-based shampoos and conditioners are a great base to start with. Serums help realign hair fibers and give hair a smoother look. Using a small amount of detangling spray can help restore your hair without adding excess oil. Hair-relaxers can help maintain a smooth texture, eliminating frizz altogether.

And Remember, Your Hair Brush Matters

One common mistake is brushing your hair when it is dry. Never brush or comb dry hair. Doing so can break down your hair and increase your frizz levels. Instead, use a brush designed for wet hair. Wide-tooth combs are ideal for frizz-prone hair because they have more space for hair to pass through the teeth. This helps prevent follicle damage. If your hair is dry, just style it with your fingers.
