Despite the scorching heatwave, employing a French haircare mist regularly transformed my once dry and frizzy locks into a smooth and luminous mane.
As the mercury rises and the heatwave continues, many of us are grappling with the effects of humidity on our hair. Dryness, frizz, and unmanageability are common issues, but fear not, as French haircare brand Kérastase has come to the rescue with their range of products designed to tackle these problems.
In a busy week filled with office days, work events, and social plans, the author found herself battling with hair dryness and frizz due to the heatwave. However, she was pleasantly surprised by the Kérastase Nutritive Lotion Thermique Sublimatrice, a product she had initially been skeptical about due to its label as a good product for fine to medium hair.
This nourishing and heat-protectant blow-dry lotion is specifically designed for dry hair types. It smooths and softens strands while providing heat protection from styling tools up to 180°C (about 350°F). The lotion helps nourish the hair fiber deeply, reducing frizz, enhancing shine, and improving manageability. Its lightweight texture does not weigh hair down, making it ideal for thick hair prone to dryness and frizz in humid conditions.
The author discovered that just a small drop of the finishing product works wonders for her hair, but her locks don't mind if she keeps topping up. The product is practically invisible on the hair, keeping it in place without changing its style and doesn't leave hair looking greasy or feeling heavy.
Another product that has been a lifesaver for the author is the detangling blow-dry mist. This nourishing but light creamy spray soaks into dry ends and lengths without weighing them down or making them look greasy. The glycerin base of the detangling blow-dry mist hydrates lengths and even dry ends, while the infusion of proteins and niacinamide leaves hair soft, nourished, and shiny.
The detangling blow-dry mist provides a layer of heat protection before styling and smoothes frizz, leaving hair looking shinier and healthier. It is suitable for dry or frizzy hair that needs nourishment and smoothing.
For those with thick, frizzy, and dry hair, it is essential to use products that provide moisture, heat protection, and frizz control by smoothing the hair cuticle and shielding strands from moisture in the air. The Kérastase Nutritive Lotion Thermique Sublimatrice and the detangling blow-dry mist are excellent options for maintaining smooth, shiny hair during high humidity or heatwave conditions.
In addition, it is recommended to use serums or sprays with anti-humidity properties and UV/heat filters to lock in moisture and shield hair from environmental moisture. Products like Amika Anti-Humidity Spray or Color Wow Dream Coat create a protective hydrophobic layer to repel moisture. Regular deep conditioning and hydration treatments are also essential to prevent dryness-induced frizz.
So, as the temperature forecast for this week is 34°C, remember to arm yourself with these Kérastase products to keep your hair looking its best despite the heat.
