Why this worksHumidity increases moisture in the air, causing hair to absorb excess water and swell, leading to frizz. This is especially common in spring when the weather starts to warm up. By using the right techniques, you can help seal in moisture and keep your hair smooth.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Use a Lightweight Conditioner Opt for a lightweight, hydrating conditioner that won't weigh your hair down. Apply it from mid-length to the ends, focusing on areas that tend to dry out.
  2. Incorporate Anti-Frizz Products Look for anti-frizz serums or creams that help smooth the hair cuticle. Apply a small amount to damp hair to help control frizz before styling.
  3. Air Dry or Use a Diffuser Whenever possible, let your hair air dry to reduce heat damage. If you must use a blow dryer, attach a diffuser to distribute heat evenly and minimize frizz.
  4. Avoid Over-Washing Washing your hair too frequently can strip natural oils and lead to dryness. Aim to wash your hair 2-3 times a week, depending on your hair type.

Where people go wrong

Many people overuse heavy products, which can weigh hair down and make frizz worse. Others may wash their hair too often, leading to dryness. Using too much heat without protection can also exacerbate frizz.
