Sun, sweat, frizz... protect your hair from it all
Humidity can go kick rocks ... here's how to tame it
Let’s talk about frizz- the uninvited guest that shows up the second the humidity rises.
Here’s what’s really happening: your hair is made of tiny bonds that react to moisture in the air. When it’s humid, those bonds swell, shift, and then you’re left with … frizz. Add in sun exposure, chlorine, or pollution, and your strands are dealing with way more than they signed up for.
So how do we fight back?
Hydrate first. Frizz is often a sign your hair is thirsty. A nourishing shampoo + conditioner gives it what it needs so it doesn’t try to pull water from the air.
Seal it in. Leave-in conditioners or lightweight oils (like MONAT’s Rejuvenique Oil) to smooth the cuticle and lock in moisture.
Shield it. UV rays, chlorine, and pollutants can cause dullness and breakage. MONAT’s Unknot Detangler doubles as a protector when used before styling, sweating, or swimming.
Style smart. Air dry when you can, or always use heat protectant if you’re styling.
Frizz isn’t about “taming wild hair”- it’s about protecting your hair from the environment so it stays healthy and smooth.
In my next email, I’ll share why scalp health is the foundation of strong, beautiful hair (and the simple habits that make the biggest difference).
