How To Reduce Frizz When Humidity Attacks!

It's a fact, we hate frizz! and we would do anything in our power to tame this monster. In humid climates, it forgives no one. Sure, excessive heat, chemical and textured hair all contribute to wild unruly tendrils. Yet, the main culprit is moisture deficiency, created by high levels of humidity. When you have frizzy hair, it gives the false idea that your hair may be damaged. This is not necessarily true, as you can have frizzy healthy hair. Keep in mind that, dryness, split ends and breakage compound frizz, making it a challenge to maintain moisture and smoothness.

These rays have the power to cause damage to the hair cuticle as well as its inner structure. Chemicals (e.g., relaxers, perms, highlights, harsh shampoos) Mechanical heating tools (e.g., flat irons and curling irons) Long Hair. Yes, that's right! Long hair is specially prone to maturity (even when regular trims are performed). Why? Because it is exposed to many elements and it's not protected by the natural oils of the sca...
