Frizz-Free Hair: 3 Humidity Hacks You Need to Try
Three hacks and products to stop humidity turning your style to frizz this summer.
Posted
Humidity-proofing frizzy hair comes down to three fixes: an anti-humidity finishing spray combed through damp hair, a trim that removes damaged outer layers rather than length, and an anti-humidity technology spray for an invisible protective coating.
How Do You Create Humidity-Resistant Hairstyles?
Humidity loves dry, loosely worn hair. Combat this by combing Oribe Impermeable Anti-Humidity Spray through towel-dried hair and securing into a humidity resistant hairstyle such as a ponytail or tight plait. This combo will ensure the hair shaft is closed, smooth and protected, preventing humidity from taking hold.
Can the Right Haircut Reduce Humidity-Induced Frizz?
The right haircut can halve the occurrence of humidity-induced frizz. If your hair shaft is expanding due to humidity and showing visible signs of UV or Heat Styling damage in a ‘halo’ like effect around your head, book in for a trim that focuses on gently removing this outer layer of damage – rather than trimming the length. The result is not shorter hair, just healthier hair.
What Anti-Humidity Technology Actually Works?
Anti-humidity technology inspired by ground-breaking fashion and textile technology is proving a gamechanger when it comes to smoothing frizz caused by humidity. Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray is causing a buzz in the hair and beauty world by utilising anti-humidity innovation to create a ‘jacket’ like micro-fine mist polymer. This infuses and coats every individual strand of hair, forming an invisible veil from cuticle to tip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my hair frizz so much in humidity?
Humidity causes moisture in the air to be absorbed into the hair shaft, swelling the cuticle and making strands look frizzy and unruly. Dry, loosely worn hair is especially prone to this, which is why sealing sprays and secure styles help.
Do anti-humidity sprays actually work?
Yes. Anti-humidity sprays coat the hair shaft in a lightweight polymer or finishing barrier that blocks moisture from swelling the cuticle, keeping hair smoother for longer in humid or wet conditions.
Will cutting my hair really reduce frizz?
Yes, if the trim targets damaged outer layers rather than overall length. Damaged, UV- or heat-affected ends expand more in humidity, so removing that damage reduces the halo-like frizz around the head without making hair noticeably shorter.
What's the difference between a heat protectant and an anti-humidity spray?
A heat protectant shields hair from damage caused by hot styling tools, while an anti-humidity spray blocks moisture in the air from swelling the hair cuticle. Many humid-climate routines use both together for smooth, frizz-free results.
