Many of us find ourselves battling with frizzy hair during the summer months. Humidity, heat and exposure to UV rays can wreak havoc on the locks, leaving them prone to frizz and unruliness. But with haircare products that are specifically designed to combat frizz, it gets slightly easier to maintain smooth, sleek strands through the season. When on the hunt, look out for formulations with argan oil, ceramides, amino acids, hyaluronic acid and other ingredients that lock in moisture and repair your hair’s defence barrier. Ahead, we recommend a few that you can start with.
Ziaja Goat's Milk Hair Conditioner
Goat milk is not an ingredient one would usually spot on product packaging. But it’s an effective one, nonetheless. This Ziaja conditioner uses keratin and goat milk proteins as its key ingredients—leaving your hair feeling softer as well as reducing split ends and breakage, owing to the protective barrier it creates around each hair strand. The combination of keratin and goat milk proteins works to combat frizz and restore shine to even the most damaged hair. This one definitely makes for an essential addition to your haircare routine.
Plum Avocado Nourish-Up Hair Mask
Our hair gets frizzy when moisture in the air penetrates into the hair cortex. But despite wanting to keep that out, it’s essential to lock in as much of our hair’s natural moisture as you can—as dry, sun-exposed hair are more prone to breakage and unruly strands. Combining shea butter, avocado oil and argan oil, the Plum hair mask works to deeply hydrate dry and frizzy locks. Simply apply the mask to the ends of your shampooed hair, ensuring thorough coverage. Leave on for a couple of minutes to allow the ingredients to penetrate and rinse off.
Brillare Heavy Moisturising Shampoo For Dry, Frizzy Hair
Formulated specifically for frizzy hair, this Brillare shampoo is your go-to defence against the heat and humidity of summer. It’s saturated with natural ingredients like wheat germ and avocado and deeply hydrates your hair, locking in moisture to prevent frizz and restore flexibility. With regular use, you will notice your hair becoming smoother, more manageable and resistant to the effects of summer weather.
Juicy Chemistry Frizz Perfect Hair Serum
Hair serums serve a dual purpose—they protect your hair from the heat and add lubrication to combat frizz. So it goes without saying, they’re a non-negotiable during the summer months, especially if you have a dry and frizzy mane. This Juicy Chemistry serum is lightweight, proving to be ideal for humid days, but uses a combination of sweet almon, oat and jojoba oils to offer ample hydration. Apply it on clean hair from root to tip and do not rinse off.
Cadiveu Bye Bye Frizz Hair Mask
Hair masks are a haircare must-have as they penetrate far into a hair strand to repair damage—going beyond what a shampoo and conditioner can offer. Apart from moisturising locks and smoothening frizz, they also strengthen the hair’s defence barrier. This Cadiveu mask has camellia oil and karite butter that help close the hair cuticles for shine and taming frizz for when you’re out and about in the city. Just apply it on your hair and let it sit for 20-25 minutes before rinsing off.
