What is Frizzy Hair?

Frizz means individual hair fibers are running in many directions. Your hair’s outer layer (cuticle) is raised rather than lying flat. This allows moisture to enter the hair shaft, causing it to swell and create that characteristic frizzy appearance. Your hair looks dry and rough instead of smooth. Frizz is especially common for people who have thick or curly hair and those who live in a humid climate.

Common Causes of Frizzy Hair Include:

  • Dehydration (dry hair seeks moisture from the air)
  • Damage from heat styling or chemical treatments
  • Being too rough with wet hair
  • Using products with harsh ingredients
  • Weather, especially humidity
  • Your genes

The experienced stylists at Societe Salon begin each appointment thoroughly analyzing your hair to determine its overall condition and recommend personalized solutions that work. Book a consultation today.

Why Is Wavy Hair So Prone to Frizz?

Wavy hair is somewhere between curly and straight. That’s why frizzy hair has significant reactions to weather, products and hair care. Unfortunately, people often misunderstand the texture, so they use the wrong products or care routines, which can make things worse.

Wavy Hair Structure Explained

Wavy hair naturally has more bends and curves, which means it’s harder for your scalp’s natural oils to travel down the strands. That lack of lubrication makes the outer cuticle layers more exposed to environmental damage. Without proper nourishment, those cuticles lift and scatter, creating that halo of fuzz we know as frizz. Understanding your hair’s shape is the first step in understanding how to treat it.

The Role of Porosity and Elasticity

Porosity and elasticity are two important factors in how your hair reacts to moisture and styling. High porosity hair absorbs moisture quickly but also loses it just as fast, leading to frizz.

Elasticity refers to your hair’s ability to stretch and return without breaking, low elasticity means your hair is more fragile and prone to frizz. Understanding these characteristics helps you tailor your hair care products and treatments.

Lack of Moisture is a Key Culprit

Frizz loves dry hair. When your waves are dehydrated, they act like sponges and suck moisture from the air, which causes the strands to swell and lose definition. The more porous your hair is, usually due to heat, bleach, or age, the more likely this is to happen. This is why you need to keep your hair moisturized from within to manage frizz.

Environmental Factors Matter

Your hair doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Wind, sun exposure, air pollution, and especially humidity all affect your hair. In North Palm Beach, where the humidity is high year-round, your hair can go from smooth to balloon-like in five minutes flat. Protecting your hair from these elements is about more than just product, it’s about using the right strategies.

How Dehydration Triggers Frizz

When the internal structure of your hair lacks moisture, it opens its cuticle layers to pull moisture from the surrounding air. This search for hydration causes the strands to swell unevenly, disrupting the natural wave pattern. Think of it like a sponge soaking up water, it bloats, loses shape, and gets puffier. That’s your hair in a humid climate without enough moisture.

Signs Your Hair is Dehydrated

Not sure if dryness is the issue? Watch for these common signs:

  • Your hair feels like straw when you touch it
  • Your hair strands have a brittle texture
  • Your waves don’t hold their shape
  • Your hair is still frizzy after you style it
  • Your hair dries really quickly after you wash it

If you notice any of these signs, your hair may need to be rehydrated. However, this takes more than just slapping on a rehydrating mask. You have to keep hydrating it throughout your haircare routine: when you add shampoo or conditioner, when you use leave-in conditioner and in your weekly hair treatments.

How to Manage Your Frizzy Hair: 30 Proven Strategies to Help Get It Under Control

1. Stop Fighting Your Hair

Many people with frizzy hair are looking for any way to flatten, straighten or smooth every wave into submission. However, this rarely works. Instead of battling your hair every day, the key is to understand what it needs and adjust your habits. When you work with your natural texture instead of against it, you’ll have a much easier time managing it.

Frizz is Feedback, Not Failure

Your hair is always talking to you, and frizz is just its way of waving a red flag. When your hair fluffs up, it’s not being difficult, it’s telling you it’s dry, damaged, or confused by what you’re doing to it. Instead of fighting the frizz, listen to it. Give your hair more hydration. Use less heat to style it. If you take more care, you’ll see a big shift in how your hair behaves.

Embrace Your Natural Texture

There’s a certain beauty in letting your hair just be. Wavy hair has its own unique pattern and forcing it to behave like straight or curly hair will only cause more chaos. Instead of trying to change your hair every day, start by learning its patterns and building a routine that enhances what’s already there.

What It Means to “Work With” Your Waves

Learning to work with your hair rather than against it means accepting that some days won’t be perfect, and that’s okay. Your natural texture has a rhythm. By identifying your wave pattern, whether loose S-curls or tighter bends, you can figure out the best way to enhance and not flatten your curls. Techniques like scrunching, air drying, or plopping help enhance your texture without adding stress.

The Confidence Factor

There’s a surprising level of confidence that comes with letting your natural waves take center stage. Frizz becomes less of an enemy and more of a signal for care. People often find that when they finally stop straightening their hair each day, not only does their hair improve, but so does their self-image. Letting go of unrealistic perfection opens up space for healthier habits, and healthier hair. There’s a certain beauty in letting your hair just be. Wavy hair has its own unique pattern, and forcing it to behave like straight or curly hair will only cause more chaos.

2. Say Goodbye to the Flat Iron

It’s tempting, we get it. A flat iron can feel like a quick fix, but over time, it damages the structure of your waves. Heat breaks down the protein bonds in your hair, weakening them and making frizz even worse. If you can’t quit cold turkey, at least give your flat iron a few days off and try air-drying with a diffuser.

Avoid Cheap Heat Tools

If you are going to continue using heat to style your hair, whether with a flat iron or curling wand, make sure to use tools with adjustable heat settings. You should also stick with tools that have ceramic or tourmaline plates. These heat up evenly and reduce the risk of hot spots that fry your hair. Make sure to apply heat protectant before using heat tools.

Higher quality heating tools help limit damage to your hair and ensure your attempts to style your hair don’t ruin your efforts to manage your frizz.

3. Simplify Your Haircare Routine, So It will Stick

Sometimes, frizz is your hair’s way of saying you’re doing too much. You’ve got too many layers of product, you’ve been touching your hair too much, or you’ve been using too many different brands in your hair. If you’re in this situation, stick to a simple routine for a few weeks:

  • Do a gentle cleanse
  • Use conditioner
  • Apply a leave-in conditioner
  • Don’t over style your hair

The real secret to managing frizzy, wavy hair isn’t a miracle product, it’s consistency. The more consistent you are, the more your hair responds. Plus, it’s much easier to stick to a simple routine. If there are too many steps or complications, you might ignore details.

Know Your Hair Type

Every wave is different. Some are loose and soft, others are tighter and more textured. You also need to know if your hair has high or low porosity, if it’s thick or if it’s fine. When you know these things, you will be better able to choose the proper products and treatments.

Set a Weekly Hair Schedule

Make hair care part of your routine, just like your skincare. Maybe Mondays are for washing, Fridays are for deep conditioning, and Sundays are for air-drying and re-styling.

Keep Track of What is Working

Keep a simple hair journal or take progress photos every few weeks. Write down which products are giving you the results you want, when your hair looks its best and how your hair reacts to the weather. You should see patterns and this should help you adjust your strategy.

Adjust Seasonally

What works in winter might not work in high humidity, such as in South Florida. You will probably need to have a rotation of products for different seasons and weather conditions. Use lighter formulas in the summertime, richer ones in the winter. This should provide balance.

4. Wash Smarter, Not Harder

The way you wash your hair can help you tame frizzy, wavy hair or make things worse. A lot of us were taught to lather, rinse, repeat, but for wavy hair, that’s too harsh.

When you are washing frizzy hair, you need to consider the temperature of your water, the ingredients in your shampoo, and small changes in your hair washing routine. For example, you probably don’t need to wash your hair more than two or three times per week, if that.

5. Pretreat Your Hair Before Using Shampoo

One of the most effective ways to combat frizzy hair is to pretreat your hair before using shampoo.

  • Oil pretreatment: Apply coconut, olive, or argan oil to dry hair about 30 minutes before showering. This creates a protective barrier that prevents your hair from absorbing too much water and swelling when you wash it.
    • If you have fine hair, use 1-2 teaspoons of oil, mainly on the ends
    • If you have thick hair, use 1-2 tablespoons from mid-shaft to the ends
    • If your hair is extremely dry, apply the oil from roots to ends and leave it in overnight
  • Detangling pretreatment: Use a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle your hair before it gets wet. This should help reduce breakage and reduce stress on your hair.
  • Pre-shampoo treatments: There are products specifically designed for pre-washing treatment. These can be an effective option for balance moisture levels in your hair before you apply shampoo.

6. Detangle Your Hair in the Shower

Detangling your hair is an important step, but it depends on how you do it. If you do it right, while you are in the shower, you should be able to maintain your hair’s natural pattern and avoid breakage.

  • Always detangle with conditioner in your hair, not when it’s just wet with water. The conditioner helps reduce friction so it’s easier to run a comb through your hair.
  • Tools matter: Use a wide-tooth comb or specialized detangling brush that is meant to be used in wet hair.
  • Start from the bottom: Begin detangling at the end of your hair strands and gradually work your way up to the roots. You don’t want to push knots down and make hair tangles even larger.
  • Take your time: If you rush through it, you’re going to cause breakage. You need about 4-5 minutes specifically for detangling.

7. Use Clarifying Shampoo

Clarifying shampoos are deep cleaners designed to remove buildup from oils, silicones, and other residue. They’re not for daily use but can reset your hair once a month or so. If your hair feels weighed down, gummy, or isn’t responding to your usual products, you might want to use a clarifying shampoo.

A clarifying shampoo works by deeply cleansing your hair and scalp, removing residue from styling products, hard water minerals, and environmental pollutants.

How Often Should I Use Clarifying Shampoo?

  • For most hair types: Once every 2-4 weeks
  • For people who have hard water at their house: Once every 1-2 weeks
  • For people who use a lot of products in their hair: Once a week
  • For fine hair that often feels weighed down: Once weekly

The Correct Way to Apply Clarifying Shampoo:

  1. Thoroughly wet your hair
    1. Apply a quarter-sized amount of clarifying shampoo
    1. Massage the product into your scalp first
    1. Work the product through to the ends
    1. Rinse the shampoo completely out of your hair
    1. Apply a deep conditioner to moisturize your hair

8. Use Sulfate-Free Haircare Products

Sulfates are harsh detergents that strip not just dirt, but also the oils your hair needs. Sulfates are particularly bad for wavy hair, making it much frizzier.

When you are shopping, look for shampoos that say they are “sulfate-free” and have aloe vera, coconut oil or other moisturizing ingredients.

However, you have to be careful not to overdo it. If you use too much product, the oils, silicones and stylers can build up and prevent your hair from absorbing moisture. If this happens, clarifying shampoo can come in for the rescue.

9. Check Products for Glycerin and Alcohol

There are two other ingredients to watch for in your haircare products: glycerin and alcohol.

Glycerin:

Glycerin is a humectant that can either be your best friend or worst enemy, depending on the climate where you live.

  • In moderate humidity (40-60 percent): Glycerin works well. It draws just the right amount of moisture into your hair so it will stay hydrated and not get frizzy.
  • In high humidity (above 60 percent): Glycerin can cause your hair to absorb too much moisture from the air, causing a lot of frizz. When you are in an especially humid season, use products that are glycerin-free.
  • In very dry conditions (below 30 percent humidity): Glycerin may actually pull moisture from your hair, drying out your hair and making frizz more likely.

Alcohol:

Some alcohols are OK and others can increase frizz:

  • Avoid these alcohols that can strip your hair and increase frizz:
    • Ethanol
    • Denatured alcohol
    • Isopropyl alcohol
    • SD alcohol
    • Propanol
  • These alcohols could be good for your hair:
    • Cetyl alcohol
    • Stearyl alcohol
    • Cetearyl alcohol
    • Behenyl alcohol

10. Don’t Use Too Much Product

Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. Unfortunately, people who are struggling with frizzy hair are often tempted to load up on product. Unfortunately, this can backfire. You’ll end up weighing you’re your hair, cause buildup and lead to more frizz.

Signs you’re using too much product in your hair:

  • You notice your hair feels sticky or tacky even when it’s dry
  • The waves in your hair get progressively frizzier
  • Your hair still feels dirty after you wash it
  • Your scalp is itchy or flaking
  • There’s not a lot of volume at your hair roots

What’s the right amount of product to put in my hair?

  • Fine, shoulder-length hair: Use a dime-sized amount
  • Medium thickness, shoulder-length hair: Use a quarter-sized amount
  • Thick, shoulder-length: Use about a half-dollar sized amount
  • Longer hair: Add more as needed

Properly layering products in your hair:

  1. Apply products to soaking wet hair to make sure they are distributed evenly
  2. Scrunch upward to enhance the definition of your waves
  3. Remember to only add more product if sections of your hair feel dry

The elite hair stylists at Societe Salon can demonstrate exactly how much product your hair needs and the proper application techniques to prevent buildup.

11. Don’t Wash Your Hair with Hot Water

We all love a steamy shower, but hot water opens the hair cuticle too much, which can lead to frizz and dryness. Take lukewarm showers and finish with a cool rinse. The cooler water helps seal the cuticle, locking in moisture and shine and helping reduce puffiness in your hair.

12. Don’t Skip Conditioner

Conditioner is not optional if you’re struggling with frizz. High-quality conditioner can help smooth out your cuticle, add moisture and detangle your strands. Apply conditioner in the middle of your strands and let it sit a few minutes before you rinse it out. If you have particularly dry hair, you may also want to use a leave-in conditioner or a deep conditioning treatment.

Deep Condition Like You Mean It

When your hair starts to feel like hay or frizz takes over by midday, chances are you’re lacking moisture. Deep conditioning is more than a once-in-a-blue-moon thing, it’s part of a long-term recovery plan for healthier, more defined hair. Let’s break down how to do it right and see results.

When your waves are acting up, chances are they’re begging for moisture. Deep conditioning isn’t a luxury, it’s a basic survival skill for frizzy hair. The goal is not just to coat your hair but feed it from the inside.

Pick the Right Ingredients

When you’re shopping for a deep conditioner, look for key ingredients that hydrate and repair. Glycerin draws in moisture. Aloe soothes the scalp and strengthens strands. Proteins can help rebuild damaged areas, but use them sparingly. Avoid anything with drying alcohols or heavy waxes that coat rather than hydrate.

Products labeled as “curl enhancing” or “hydrating” are typically better suited for wavy textures, but always test new items gradually.

Think of deep conditioning like skincare, it only works if you’re consistent. Set aside one day a week, maybe Sunday, to treat your hair. Apply your deep conditioner, cover with a shower cap, and relax for 15 to 30 minutes.

Use Heat for Better Absorption

Heat opens the hair cuticle and allows conditioner to sink deeper. You don’t need a fancy steamer, just wrap your head in a warm towel or sit under a hooded dryer. You’ll be surprised at how much softer and more defined your waves feel after just one heated treatment.

Focus on Problem Areas

Not all parts of your hair are created equal. The back of your head might be frizzier, or your ends might be more damaged. Apply extra product to the parts that need the most help. Over time, this targeted treatment balances your hair’s texture and improves overall health.

13. Use a Hair Mask Once a Week

Deep conditioning is a very important part of managing frizzy, wavy hair. It helps hydrate and smooth out your hair.

Deep conditioning can:

  • Relace the moisture you lost when you styled your hair or because of the environment
  • Helps reduce breakage and split ends
  • Makes your hair more elastic
  • Helps protect your hair from humidity

How to apply a hair mask

  1. Wash your hair with a sulfate-free shampoo
    1. Lightly squeeze out excess water
    1. Apply the mask from the middle of the shaft to the ends
    1. Comb through with a wide-tooth comb to distribute it evenly
    1. Put on a shower cap to help heat things up and allow the mask to penetrate your strands
    1. Leave on for the recommended time (typically 15-30 minutes)
    1. Rinse the mask out with cool water

14. Seal Your Hair with Oil

Once you’re done styling your hair, seal it with the right oil. This creates a protective barrier to lock moisture into your hair and block humidity.

What are the best oils for sealing different types of hair?

  • Fine hair: Grapeseed, jojoba, or argan oil
  • Medium hair: Argan oil, sweet almond oil or light coconut oil
  • Thick, coarse hair: Coconut oil, olive oil or avocado oil
  • Very porous hair: Castor oil mixed with a lighter oil to help spread it throughout your hair

You put the oil on by rubbing a tiny amount between your palms. You should use less than you think you’re going to need. Put the oil on your hair when it’s dry or almost dry. Put the oil on the ends of your hair and go up to the middle. Patting the oil on, don’t run your fingers through your hair.

15. Try Using a Dryer Sheet in a Pinch

Yes, this sounds strange, but it could help in an emergency.

Dryer sheets fight static, which can cause strands of hair to fly away. Dryer sheets also have light conditioning agents to smooth out the surface of your hair. There are also friction-reducing compounds that can help separate sticky strands.

Gently glide the sheet over your hair, but don’t rub it in. Focus on the parts of your hair that often get frizzy.

You can keep a dryer sheet in your purse for emergencies. You might be glad you did.

16. Try Using Hand Lotion on Your Hair

When you’re caught without your regular hair products, hand lotion can be surprisingly effective at taming frizz. This is mainly because many quality hand lotions contain similar emollients and humectants.

Why hand lotion works:

  • Contains moisturizing ingredients that temporarily smooth the hair cuticle
  • Creates a light barrier against humidity
  • Often includes dimethicone or other silicones that reduce friction

How should I apply hand lotion to my hair?

  1. Use a non-greasy lotion without fragrance, if possible
    1. Rub a pea-sized amount between your palms until it’s completely warmed up
    1. Apply to the ends and the middle of your hair strands; don’t touch the roots
    1. Use your fingertips to precisely apply the lotion to problem areas

When should I use hand lotion on my hair?

  • When you’re traveling and you don’t have your regular haircare products
  • When the weather unexpectedly changes
  • If you need a quick touch-up before an impromptu meeting or gathering
  • As a last resort at a special event

17. Don’t Style or Brush Your Hair When It’s Dry

Styling works best on damp, not soaking wet, hair. After washing, gently squeeze out excess water with a microfiber towel or an old t-shirt. This helps prevent breakage and allows your products to absorb more effectively, setting the stage for a smooth finish.

Brushing when your hair is dry is probably just going to make things worse.

18. Apply a Leave-In Conditioner First

A good leave-in conditioner preps your hair by locking in hydration and making it easier to detangle. It also creates a base that enhances the effects of curl creams or gels. Work it through your mid-lengths to ends and rake with your fingers to distribute evenly.

19. Use Products That Were Designed for Wavy Hair

Look for lightweight products that offer hold without stiffness:

  • Creams define waves
  • Gels seal in moisture
  • Mousses add volume

What’s right for you? It depends on what your hair needs. Use a product that is specially formulated to manage wavy or curly hair texture.

20. Use a Wide-Tooth Comb

Brushing dry waves can destroy your definition and cause unnecessary frizz. Instead, detangle in the shower with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb. After applying your styling products, avoid touching your hair while it dries to keep the curl pattern intact.

A fine-tooth comb will break up your wave pattern and cause frizz. A wide-tooth comb, especially one made from smooth materials like carbon or cellulose, glides through hair without damage and helps with gentle detangling. It’s perfect for distributing conditioner in the shower or gently loosening knots after washing without breaking your hair.

21. Dry Your Hair with an Air Dryer, Hood Dryer or Diffuser

Blow dryers aren’t the enemy, it’s how you use them. A diffuser attachment spreads heat evenly and gently, helping define waves without frizzing them out. Set your dryer to low heat and low airflow for best results. A good diffuser will cradle your hair rather than blast it, allowing your waves to form without disruption while reducing dry time.

22. Plop Your Hair

“Plopping” is a game-changing technique for wavy and curly hair that enhances your natural hair texture while reducing frizz. You dry your hair with a microfiber towel or cotton t-shirt in such a way that you encourage curls to form and don’t disrupt your hair wave pattern.

Plopping helps remove excess water without roughing up the cuticle. It also encourages wave/curl formation by scrunching hair upward, reduces drying time without heat damage, prevents gravity from pulling waves straight while drying, and keeps styling products in contact with hair longer for better absorption.

Step-by-step plopping technique:

  • Apply styling products to soaking wet hair right after showering
  • Lay a microfiber towel or cotton t-shirt flat on a counter
  • Bend forward and lower your hair onto the center of the towel
  • Fold the bottom of the towel up over the back of your head
  • Wrap the sides toward the nape of your neck
  • Secure with the towel ends or clips
  • Leave for 10-20 minutes before air-drying or diffusing

How long to plop for different hair types:

  • Fine hair: Plop for just 5-10 minutes to avoid flattening
  • Medium thickness: 15-20 minutes should work well
  • Thick, dense hair: You can plop for up to a half hour
  • Tight waves or curls: Consider “micro-plopping” (using the towel to scrunch in sections)

23. Eat a Balanced Diet

What you put into your body directly affects the health and appearance of your hair. Proper nutrition can help strengthen the hair shaft and help it better retain moisture.

Essential nutrients for frizz-free, healthy hair:

  • Omega-3 fatty acids: Found in salmon, walnuts, and flaxseeds, these healthy fats help keep your hair hydrated and elastic.
  • Biotin: This B-vitamin found in eggs, nuts, and whole grains strengthens hair and improves its texture.
  • Vitamin E: An antioxidant in avocados, spinach, and almonds that helps repair damage and protect hair from oxidative stress.
  • Protein: The building block of hair, found in lean meats, legumes, and dairy, essential for strong, resilient strands.
  • Zinc: A mineral in oysters, beef and pumpkin seeds that supports healthy hair follicles and growth cycles.

Foods to limit for better hair health:

  • Processed foods high in refined sugars
  • Excessive alcohol, which dehydrates your hair
  • Foods high in mercury, which can cause your hair to thin
  • Extreme low-calorie diets, which can cause your hair to shed

24. Use a Microfiber Towel or T-Shirt to Dry Your Hair

Rough towels lift the hair cuticle and create more frizz. Switching to a microfiber towel or even a soft cotton t-shirt minimizes friction and helps keep your curl pattern intact after washing. These materials absorb moisture gently without disrupting the shape of your waves, making them ideal for frizz prevention and curl retention.

25. Sleep on a Silk Pillowcase

One of the easiest changes you can make for smoother, less frizzy waves is switching to a silk pillowcase. Silk pillowcases have numerous benefits, including:

  • Creates less friction than cotton, reducing mechanical damage and frizz
  • Doesn’t absorb natural oils from your hair, which can dehydrate your hair
  • Prevents your hair from getting crushed or flattened
  • Helps preserve your hairstyle overnight, allowing blowouts to last longer
  • Makes it easier to style your hair in the morning

What makes a good silk pillowcase?

  • 100 percent mulberry silk; avoid satin or silk blends
  • 19+ momme count for durability
  • OEKO-TEX certification for non-toxic dyes
  • Envelope closure or hidden zipper to prevent your hair from getting snagged

26. Try Not to Touch Your Hair

There are many things you can do to prevent frizz, but one of the most overlooked is touching your hair. You can disrupt your hair’s natural pattern, creating more frizz.

Touching your hair transfers oils from your fingers into your hair. This can weigh your hair down unevenly. Your hands also have salts from sweat that can dehydrate your hair. Running your fingers through your hair can also disrupt your cuticle alignment. Finally, touching your hair can break up the product you put in it to manage frizz.

These are some common hair-touching habits to avoid:

  • Absent-mindedly twirling sections around fingers
  • Running hands through hair when you get stressed out
  • Constantly tucking your hair behind your ears

Tips to break the bad habit of touching your hair

  1. Keep your hands occupied with a stress ball or fidget tool
  2. Style your hair so it stays out of your face
  3. Set regular times to check your hair in the mirror

27. Trim Your Hair Regularly

Trimming helps remove split ends before they move up your hair shaft. You can also just eliminate damaged portions of your hair.

You are also creating a more uniform wave pattern, reducing tangles that can cause breakage, and letting styling products work much better.

If you have healthy hair, cutting it every two to three months should work. If you colored your hair, cut it every 6-8 weeks. If you often style your hair with heat, you should trim it about every six weeks.

Your stylist can help you determine how much to cut off to help manage your frizz.

28. Get a Haircut Meant for Wavy Hair

A good cut changes everything. At Société Salon, our stylists understand how to cut wavy hair in a way that enhances its shape. We consider your hair’s density, porosity, and wave pattern so you leave with a style that’s easy to manage at home.

29. When in Doubt, Call a Pro

Sometimes, frizz is your hair’s way of asking for professional help. If nothing you try seems to work, it may be time for a reset. The trusted stylists at Societe Salon can evaluate your hair and recommend the ideal way to reset things. For example, maybe it’s time for a keratin treatment or a trim.

Our stylists can also provide expert tips on how to better manage your hair. We’ll walk you through the right products, tools, and routines so you can keep your hair looking fresh between visits. From how to properly apply leave-in conditioner to adjusting your routine based on the weather, we want to make your everyday hair routine as stress-free as possible.

30. Adjust Your Routine if You Are in a Humid Climate

Living in a tropical climate means battling frizz is a year-round sport. Try using anti-humidity sprays, sleeping on satin pillowcases, and using overnight hair masks to get your hair ready. You can also lightly re-wet hair with a mix of water and conditioner to revive waves on the go.

Say Goodbye to Frizz, For Real

If you’ve made it this far, you’re clearly ready to ditch the frizz and embrace your natural texture. Wavy hair doesn’t need to be a daily battle, it just needs the right care, smart styling, and sometimes, a professional touch.

If you need to changeup your haircare routine or your hair needs moisture, it’s never too late to turn things around. Want hands-on help from stylists who get wavy hair? Book your transformation at Société Salon, North Palm Beach’s luxury destination for hair that looks, and feels, its best.
