Fighting summer frizz: our best tips for smooth, tamed Hair

Summer brings sunshine, warmth, and beach days - but also frizz! Puffy strands, flyaways, and that dreaded straw-like texture? Don’t worry. With the right approach, you can enjoy soft, defined hair even in humid weather. Cair reveals the perfect summer haircare routine to help you say goodbye to frizz all season long.

Why does frizz get worse in summer?

  • Humidity: the enemy of textured hair

Summer air holds more moisture, and textured or curly hair tends to absorb it. The hair shaft swells, loses shape, and frizz appears.

  • Heat dries out the hair fiber

High temperatures strip your hair of hydration. And dry hair is more likely to frizz, losing both elasticity and smoothness.

  • UV rays weaken the hair

Sun exposure breaks down hair proteins and dehydrates the fiber, making strands more porous—and more prone to frizz.

  • Sea salt and chlorine: a drying combo

Swimming in the ocean or pool adds more stress. Salt and chlorine dry out and damage your hair, worsening the frizz effect.

The right summer haircare routine to fight frizz

  • Hydrate Deeply

Hydration is key to keeping frizz at bay. Packed with natural ingredients, Cair protective hair mask is your best ally:

  • Hyaluronic acid: locks in moisture inside the hair shaft
  • Fermentol: a blend of four fermented oils (sunflower, argan, camellia, almond/tea) that deeply nourish
  • Plant-based keratin: penetrates the fiber to strengthen and repair from within
  • Shield your hair from the sun

Just like your skin, your hair needs UV protection. Cair protective hair oil contains a UV filter to guard against dehydration and dullness.

  • Try protective hairstyles

Loose braids, buns, scarves, or wide-brimmed hats help reduce sun and wind exposure - while keeping curls and lengths in shape.

Daily habits that help prevent frizz

Use gentle tools
Opt for a wide-tooth comb or a soft hairbrush when detangling wet hair. With its 100% nylon bristles, our Vegan Hairbrush N.04 glides through strands without causing breakage or frizz.

Don’t overwash your hair
Washing too often can strip hair of natural oils. Two to three times a week is enough to maintain hydration.

Go for gentle, natural drying
Let your hair air-dry whenever possible, or use a diffuser on cool or low heat. Avoid high temperatures that amplify frizz.

Avoid over-handling your hair
Touching your hair too much can disturb the cuticle and create more frizz. Style it in the morning - then hands off for the rest of the day!

In Summary: Your anti-frizz summer haircare routine

  • Hydrate deeply with Cair protective hair mask
