Monsoons and hair have a love-hate relationship: the rains love damaging your tresses, and your tresses, well, put simply: torrential downpours are their sworn enemies.
The battle result: FRIZZ—the swelling of your shaft when dry hair sucks up moisture from the air.
Let’s keep it cordial, ladies. Vogue tells you how to frizz-control your hair this season, and leave no flyaways unattended.
Don’t wash your hair too often
You might feel the need to shampoo more often than not—to rid yourself of the dirt and rainwater—but that also means stripping your hair off its natural oils (sebum), leaving it dry and limp.
Mask it
Deep conditioning helps smoothen out your hair and provides heavy nourishment. Be sure to leave on your mask for at least ten minutes. Intense formulas in masks help coat the strands with strong conditioning.
Stay away from heat
Stick with air drying, or use an ionic blow dryer on almost dry hair for finish touches.
No alcohol
Avoid hair products that come with high amounts of alcohol content, which is not very cuticle-friendly.
Dodge friction
Your hair is prone to damage in the rains, so be as gentle as possible. No rigorous towel drying and squeezing!
