HUMIDITY HACKS. FIGHTING SUMMERTIME HUMIDITY
If you been keeping check, you might've noticed in uptick in humidity-related frizz and a difficulty keeping and maintaining your hair style as soon as you step out to enjoy these remaining summer days. The primary reason is that porous curls absorb the outside air humidity.
You can see a list of the 20 most humid cities in America here (in case you're planning a trip to any of these cities). Included in the list are cities like Baton Rouge (#11), San Francisco (#1), and Houston (#10). There were some surprise cities like Green Bay, WI (#19) and Eugene, OR (#13). While your city might not make this dubious list, the humidity and heat in does crank up in the summer months and is probably affecting you right now.
There are three Huetiful recommendations that we're making to help keep the frizz at bay in August and September.
Hair Steaming to keep your hair hydrated. Since our inception, we've offered free hair steam treatments with every (non-color) service. The average Huetiful hair steam treatment releases 8 ounces of steam under the hood. This hydration, when combined with proteins and amino acids from our conditioning treatment, fill up the hair strand and make it less able to absorb humidity. The end result is less frizz.
Glycolic Strengthening Treatments (click here for more info). This is a $25 add-on to any Huetiful service and the treatment is applied just before the steam treatment so that it deeply penetrates into the cortex of every hair strand. With protein and amino acids, it helps fill and strengthen the hair strand. Glycerin is also a key ingredient which acts as a humectant; retaining and preserving moisture in your hair.
Smoothing Serum. There are a lot of good smoothing serums that help seal the cuticle. Consider KMS HAIRSTAY Anti-Humidity Spray (retails on Amazon for $24.50). It acts like an umbrella for the hair; helping protect that $75 silk press or at home style, from frizz and humidity for up to 72 hours. The great thing about it is that its a weightless shine spray.
