Hair Tips for Humid Boston Summers
Humidity and hair are natural enemies because of how much frizz a little moisture in the air can create. So whether you’re trying to change up looks for the summer or you’re new to Boston and aren’t sure what to do with your hair, you can manage it with a little work.
These are the top tips to keep your hair under control in the most humid and hot Boston summers!
Use a Shampoo And Conditioner That Suits Your Scalp
Many people stick to a shampoo or conditioner solely because they like the smell, or they’re a fan of the brand: but that’s not going to help your hair. Instead, it’s a good idea to use a moisturizing and hydrating shampoo and conditioner set. Also, looking for something that has natural oils in it, like Amla oil that can be found in IGK products, can give you a chance to take the frizz.
Use Oils to Tame Frizziness Throughout the Day
Often frizziness is a result of dry hair. This can leave you open to breakage, which in turn will add more frizziness, as well as make your hair look shaggy instead of smooth. Instead, feed your hair by using hair oil in it throughout the day. You don’t need a ton of it, just enough to dampen your fingertips, and you should avoid going any higher up than three inches from your roots. Any higher, and your hair may end up looking oily instead of simply frizz-free.
Add a Cold Rinse to the End of Every Hair Wash
A cold rinse is a vital part of the hair routine that everyone should try. Not only does it get rid of the frizz immediately, but it also lends your hair a shinier and smooth look that you can’t get from just hot water. However, you should use warm water when shampooing and conditioning because you need to get most of the product out of your hair when you rinse; after doing that first rinse, do a full rinse with uncomfortably cold water. Try to do this step in the sink, instead of in the shower, to help keep you from being too uncomfortable.
Avoid Styling Without a Heat Protectant
Heat protectants are here to ensure your hair looks great for as long as possible, without having to stress about whether you can straighten it or not. Most people style with heat, and when you’re looking at Boston houses for sale, you want to look your best. You don’t have to stop styling with heat: make sure you’re protected by the right products when you do it.
Don’t Reach for Dry Shampoo Very Often.
Dry shampoo may be the answer to some people: but it’s not a good one. Although it can offer you a temporary respite, it also builds up and stops your hair from being able to absorb oils and come clean. So avoid it when you can.
Your Hair Can Look Great in Any Weather
Whether this is your first vacation in Boston, or you live here and need some new tips: it’s easier to keep your hair from frizzing than you think! Try some of these tips, and your hair will be smooth in no time.
