Dealing with frizz can be a hair-raising affair. That's why we've tapped the experts for their best advice on how to tame our tresses
Sun-kissed skin, dewy cheeks, bare legs, and loads of vitamin D to balance out the winter blues – When it comes to beauty, summer is a glorious season. With one exception: hair. Rising temperatures mean more humidity in the air, creating precisely the right conditions for annoying frizz. While there’s most definitely room to embrace natural textures, minor updates in your beauty routine will do the job for those wanting to keep their strands sleek.
Here, Vogue Scandinavia talks to experts and unlocks the ultimate guide to frizz-free hair. Take note:
1. First things first
Controlling frizz is not just about choosing the right leave-in cream or hair oil. "It all starts in the shower with products containing strength- and moisture-building ingredients. Healthy hair is the best start," explains Amanda Kupari, a colour technician at Baldacci Hair. According to the Kupari, dry and curly hair is more prone to frizz, as are damaged strands. So ensuring your hair is properly nourished is the first step – and if you've been waiting for the right time to schedule your next trim, this is your wake-up call.
2. Lock it up
According to Kupari, layering is key to avoiding the common enemy. “Styling products with the right silicones are great to keep the frizz away because they work like a shield. Also, I recommend to end your styling with a spray that has humidity protection in it”, she adds. “I love the combination of Dream Cocktail Coconut-infused and Dream Coat from Color Wow! I always use these products before I blow dry when I want a styling to hold for ages and to keep the frizz away – works like an umbrella”, she finishes.
3. The right tools
Kupari swears by a good blow-out to protect hair from humidity, and having the right tools on hand is essential. "I recommend investing in a really good hair brush; it can make a huge difference! I love a hairbrush that includes both nylon and boar bristles when it comes to frizz."
If all else fails, try slicking back your hair with gel. Our favourite product for locking loose strands in place is Djerf Avenue Beauty's 'On The Go' styling gel.
