“A misty morning does not signify a cloudy day, it signifies Frizzy Hair.” - Ancient Proverb
As spring brings warmer temperatures and lush landscapes, the rising humidity can cause hair to frizz. For smooth and sleek hair, Misty, the owner of Mistykal Hair Designs, offers expert advice on controlling frizz and the best products to use. This blog post explores the common causes of frizz and the solutions Misty recommends to keep your hair under control during the humid spring months.
Frizz is typically caused by the swelling of the hair's cuticle due to a lack of moisture. As humidity increases, hair absorbs moisture, resulting in unruly strands and flyaways. Heat styling, towel-drying, and chemical treatments can also contribute to frizz.
Combating frizz requires the right products, gentle styling techniques, and professional treatments. Here are Misty's top recommendations for frizz-free hair in the spring.
One of the most effective products for taming frizz is Paul Mitchell's Super Skinny Serum. This lightweight serum reduces drying time and adds a glossy finish to your hair, helping to control frizz without weighing it down.
Misty recommends this serum to her clients at Mistykal Hair Designs. Apply it to damp hair before blow-drying or on dry hair for extra shine and smoothness. To learn more about using it effectively, schedule a consultation with Misty.
Another great product for frizz control is ColorProof's HumidityRx® Style Lock Spray. This spray provides humidity resistance and keeps your hairstyle in place, creating a barrier against moisture while offering flexible hold.
Misty suggests this spray for a quick solution to frizz. It can be applied to styled hair to maintain a sleek look even on humid days. Misty and her team can guide you on the best application techniques for optimal results.
For a longer-term solution to frizz, consider keratin blowouts. This treatment involves applying a keratin-infused product to the hair and then sealing it with heat, resulting in smooth, frizz-free hair for weeks.
Misty offers keratin blowouts at Mistykal Hair Designs. If you're interested in this treatment, schedule a consultation to discuss your hair's needs and determine if it's the right solution for you.
In addition to using quality products and considering keratin blowouts, adopting gentle hair care practices can significantly reduce frizz. Misty suggests the following tips:
Limit Heat Styling: Excessive heat can dehydrate hair and lead to frizz. Use heat protectants and opt for lower heat settings.
Pat, Don't Rub: When towel-drying, pat your hair gently to reduce friction and maintain the cuticle's integrity.
Switch to Silk Pillowcases: Silk pillowcases reduce friction and keep hair smooth overnight.
Hair health starts from within, and a well-balanced diet can play a significant role in reducing frizz. Proper nutrition provides the necessary building blocks for strong, healthy hair. To enhance your hair's resilience against frizz and breakage, consider incorporating the following into your daily routine:
Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep your hair hydrated. Dehydration can lead to dry, brittle hair that's more susceptible to frizz.
Vitamins and Minerals: Ensure you're getting enough vitamins and minerals, especially those that support hair health, such as biotin, vitamin E, and zinc.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in fish like salmon and mackerel, these can help keep your hair and scalp hydrated, reducing frizz.
Protein: Hair is primarily made of protein, so a diet rich in protein sources like lean meats, eggs, and legumes can strengthen hair and minimize breakage.
Beyond diet, managing stress levels and getting enough sleep can also impact your hair's health. High stress and lack of rest can lead to hormone imbalances that affect hair growth and quality.
By combining proper nutrition with gentle hair care practices and effective frizz control products, you'll be on your way to smooth, sleek hair throughout the spring season.
