With our tropical summer comes heat and humidity that causes our hair to rebel. To get you glowing with gorgeous crowning glory, here are some tips to help combat the frizz during our hot summer months.
Step 1: Make conditioner your best friend.
Conditioner will be your first step towards smoothening your strands into submission. The heavier the conditioner the better. Be sure to also leave it in for a good two minutes before rinsing off with cold water to close the strands and guarantee shine. Here are some favorite conditioners we find at Calyxta:
TRESemmé HAIR CONDITIONER KERATIN SMOOTH, P399.00
This salon-quality conditioner does a wonderful job of taming frizz. Infused with keratin, it nourishes each strand to give hair that smooth, shiny and manageable look.
SHISEIDO TSUBAKI DAMAGE CARE CONDITIONER, P575.00
This has a fresh aroma that penetrates damaged hair with camellia oil’s own amino acids. For true improvement in sheen, volume, texture and manageability outside of a salon, look no further!
Step 2: Give hair masks a try.
Hair masks are a way to get deeper into the strands often times while you sleep, simply coat on damp hair, cover with a shower cap, and sleep. They’re not the most glamorous of treatments, and your partner may give you questioning looks, but I think he’ll forget about how funny you looked in bed once he sees how gorgeous your hair is in the morning.
TRESEMME HAIR TREATMENT MASK KERATIN SMOOTH, P230
This super intense hair mask keeps frizz away for up to 48 hours, definitely something worth having in your beauty arsenal.
Step 3: Perfect your blow dry.
An important step towards having frizz free hair is making sure you dried the hair entirely while using a decent amount of heat from your blow-dryer. I personally don’t like to go straight from the shower to a blow-dry. I like to let my hair naturally dry for a good 30-40 minutes before flipping my hair over for a full blow-dry that will leave my hair shiny. This will guarantee that your hair shafts will remain closed and shiny. A shine serum right before blow-drying really helps as well. These are the ones we like on the site:
NUXE DRY OIL HUILE PRODIGIEUSE, P2,100
This versatile and luxurious beauty oil can be used to moisturize body, face, and hair strands. It nourishes dry ends, and give lengths that wonderfully disheveled look.
PHYTO 9 ULTRA-DRY HAIR NOURISHING DAY CREAM WITH 9 PLANTS, P1,650
This weightless leave-in conditioner is fortified with nine plant extracts for hydration, smoothness, and daily protection from environmental stressors and split ends. Hair is left silky-soft with luminous shine.
