Here comes the sun, and it’s not alright for your hair! The heat and humidity of Indian summers can spell doom for the health of your hair, making it dry, frizzy and unruly.
But all hope’s not lost.
This Summer, your hair doesn’t need to look like a dry broom. Sacred Grove is here to help you with some easy tips to tame your frizzy hair in these humid summer months.
The science behind dry hair: Frizzy hair meaning
As with all things at Sacred Grove, we begin our hair health journey with science. So what is the science behind frizz? And what is the best frizzy hair treatment?
Our hair gets frizzy primarily due to a lack of moisture. But, here, we refer to the scarcity of moisture within our hair. When it comes to external elements, our tresses react badly to high humidity and excess moisture in the air.
Just as in nature, where trees and animals look for the nearest source of water, so does your hair. Unfortunately, if the nearest source is moisture from the air, the result is a head full of frizz. When your personal lack of moisture (dry hair) meets the external world’s excessive moisture (humidity), it causes frizzy hair.
While it is impossible to extract the moisture out of the air on a humid day, you can keep your hair moisturized in other ways, so that your locks don’t have to go looking for it in the wrong places.
How to control frizz
Dry hair doesn’t always mean doom. Wondering how to remove frizz from hair? Lucky for you, we have several tips and anti-frizz products to help your hair go from frizzy to fabulous!
- Oil up!
Step one in the battle against frizz is to arm yourself with hydrating products. As we’ve already said in our previous blog, step one of your hair care routine is oiling. The most immediately obvious way to defeat dryness is to gift your locks with the natural moisture of oil.
Fight frizz and split ends with our Nourishing Hair Oil. Rich in Vitamin E and fatty acids, this light but effective oil creates a physical barrier around your hair cells, preventing moisture loss. Apply it once a week, and watch how this all-natural herbal hair oil nourishes your hair from root to tip, transforming it from dull to delightful!
2. Shampoo smart
Washing your hair with harmful chemicals can strip it of its natural oils. What you need is a cleanser that can rid your hair of dirt and grime, while keeping all the nourishment and moisture from your applied oil alive. This means your anti frizz shampoo should contain ingredients that are naturally hydrating and cleansing.
When it comes to these ingredients, Sacred Grove’s Gentle Hair Cleanser cleans out all the competition. Made with reetha, shikakai and flaxseed, this is the best shampoo for dry and frizzy hair. Our signature formulation provides essential nutrition to your hair and also helps get shiny, clean and frizz free hair. These all-organic ingredients help remove dirt, excess oil and product buildup without stripping your hair of its natural oils.
Besides these, our shampoo is also strengthened with vegetable-sourced glycerin, which is a great humectant. A humectant is an additive that helps absorb the extra moisture in the air to create a protective coating around hair strands. This solution makes our Gentle Hair Cleanser a mighty weapon against humidity and the best shampoo for dry frizzy hair.
- Mask on, frizz off
A difficult problem can be met with an easy solution. Conditioning your hair is the easiest and best way to deal with frizz. Designed for pure hydration and moisturisation, a deep conditioning mask is the best gift you can reward your hair with.
Once a week, use our Condition & Repair Mask. Formulated with ingredients like marshmallow root, hibiscus leaves and flaxseed, its wonders are immediately apparent right from the first application. This formulation is naturally emollient. Meaning soother or softener, an emollient product softens dry, rough, frizzy hair. This hydrating hair mask for frizzy hair provides your hair with nourishment from root to tip, and after extended usage, you will find your hair restored to full health and vitality!
- Brush off the frizz
The last few steps to frizz free hair involve maintenance. When it’s time to comb out your hair, ditch the harmful synthetic brushes and choose our Detangling Wooden Comb instead. Typical brushes contain many bristles which cause more friction on your hair and more breakage from forcing tangles through rows of bristles. The wide-toothed structure of our comb contains the least amount of bristles, giving you the opposite effect and helping you detangle your hair far more effectively. This means less breakage and split ends, which means less frizz! Our Detangling Wooden Comb is made of neem wood that has naturally anti-fungal properties. What’s more, it evenly distributes the natural oils of your scalp through the strands, keeping the scalp clean and healthy while coating your strands with the oils necessary for hydration.
Most importantly, wooden combs are anti-static, as opposed to plastic combs which produce static and make dry hair even more frizzy. The neem wood material of our comb is naturally anti-static: leaving you with hair that is unbothered, moisturized, happy and flourishing!
- Leave-in shine, leave out the frizz
Last but not the least, the best way to lock in the moisture in your hair is by using the perfect product to round off your routine: anti frizz hair serum. Say hello to our Frizz Control Serum. Right after you shower, apply this all natural leave-in serum on damp hair to seal the moisture in and keep the frizz out! Containing natural Dimethicones, this serum will help you beat frizz without any fuss. In most hair formulations, dimethicones are added to create a barrier around each hair strand to seal in the moisture; reducing frizz and leaving your hair smooth and silky.
The haircare world is slowly waking up to the negative effects of artificial dimethicones. Thankfully, at Sacred Grove we use scientifically backed methods to unlock the raw power of natural ingredients. Infused with Broccoli oil, our hair serum for frizzy hair contains natural dimethicones that smoothen your hair and grapeseed oil that locks in the moisture. Use just 1 drop on your dry hair and feel the frizz go away!
So there you have it: 5 perfect weapons to fight the frizz this summer. Order our Condition Cleanse Repair bundle, and pair it with our Hair Growth Combo to get battle-ready. The frizz won’t stand a chance!
