Hair VS. Humidity

Hi Beauties!

With the weather getting warmer, your hair will probably get harder to manage. The humidity will ruin any hard work you put into your hair as soon as you step outside. The UV exposure from the sun will break down the protein in your hair causing it to become brittle and lose it's luster. Here are some affordable tips to help you maintain the health and look of your hair! 

1.  Moisturizing Sulfate-free Shampoos

People tend to shampoo their hair more as the weather gets warmer because of the sweat your scalp secretes. Shampoos with sulfate strip your hair of its natural oils causing the hair to look dry and brittle. Sulfate-free shampoo is a gentler option. It is a must to hydrate your hair but if moisturizing shampoos are heavy for your hair, make sure you use conditioner on the bottom half after each wash!

5. Humidity Fighters

Humidity is caused by moisture, before stepping out of your home you should make sure that your hair is 100% dry. Use a leave-in keratin spray to keep the frizz out and burst your hair with a blow dryer to remove any wetness.
