5 humidity defying products to tame frizzy hair in 2021

Noticeably all these are related to the imbalance in moisture, heat, hydration and friction. Yes, the fibres on towels strip the hair of too much hydration it go from washing, which is why using a cotton shirt is recommended as an alternative. Frizz can occur on all hair types but curly to coily hair is particularly susceptible to this mangled mess because curly hair tends to be drier.

Curly to coily hair can also be damaged by using incorrect hairbrushes that cause breakage of the cuticle which leaves hair susceptible to frizz. Switching to a wide tooth comb that supports the natural curl shape of hair instead of bore bristled brushes that force against it can make a big difference.

Combining these tips with the right products will give you an advantage in preventing future frizz. Products with sealant properties will be the most beneficial because they will limit the amount of humidity that hair cuticle can absorb, thus work better to prevent frizz in the first place. Here are the best products to tame frizzy hair in 2021, curated by our beauty pros:

This anti-humidity milk has the anti-frizz property Morpho-Keratin to coat hair fibres and solidity for smoother hair. It’s an excellent choice to keep frequently heat styled hair moist and nutrient rich.

Protecting your hair from frizzing up encompasses protecting it from dryness and atmospheric humidity. Using hydrating products that give hair the moisture it needs ensure hair cuticles won’t need to absorb from the air. Alternatively for high porosity hair sensitive to too much saturation, products that seal the cuticle layer on the scalp to prevent it from humidity do the job just as well.

Dry hair and thus frizz prevention doesn’t just include hydrating hair, it also includes limiting sun and heat exposure, using a shirt instead of a towel to dry hair after washing it and sleeping on satin pillowcases to prevent friction. Getting into the proper maintenance habits to care for hair is also essential to combat frizz. Such habits include using the proper brush for your hair texture and not over-combing hair. Luckily as we’ve displayed above, if frizz has already become an issue, it’s one that can be solved within frequent usage of the right products. High humidity does not have to ruin your hairstyle for any longer.
