Surviving Florida Humidity

Summer is here which means humidity is in the air & wreaking havoc on hair. What products you use & when you use them are two important factors in keeping humidity & frizz out of your hair. Whether you wash every day, every other day, or 3-4 days at a time, here are a few tips for anyone who falls into these categories or in between. For the everyday washer or curly hair clients- this is your season. You can add a defining cream, curl control, or smoothing fluid to your hair routine to ensure it gets an all-day hold. Work it into your ends, scrunch it in, adjust all your hairs so they’re in place & leave it be, try as little as possible to not touch your hair! Not touching or playing with your hair keeps your strands from separating & expanding (causing fizziness).

Every other day washers, your hair can tend to be a bit tricky. Instead of using the product the first day, use as little of the product as possible, if any. To keep your hair oil-free try the Aveda dry shampoo before bed & on day two when you wake up use a fiber paste for the flyaways. For the 3rd & 4th day washers, also known as a ponytail-by-noon type of person, try to avoid hairsprays & oils as they weigh down the hair. Use dry shampoo before bed, thoroughly distribute it on your scalp, at your roots & brush it through to keep your hair strands cleaned. A texturizing dry shampoo

is going to be your daily best friend for when you wake up. The Aveda Shampowder dry shampoo has a lightweight hold which is great for defining movement in the hair without weighing it down.
