Every woman, whether they have straight or curly hair, has felt the burden of dealing with frizzy hair, especially in humid weather. You’re on your way out the door and boom, you get hit with the thick, moist air and instantly feel your hair start to expand. It’s so frustrating! How can we prevent this from happening? To start, we have to understand the reason this happens in the first place.
The Science of Frizz
It turns out that the reason behind frizzy hair is very technical. When it’s humid, there’s more water in the air, meaning there’s more hydrogen in the air since water is made up of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. Why does this matter? Well, it turns out that human hair is very sensitive to hydrogen atoms. Your hair becomes frizzy when hydrogen bonds form between the protein and water molecules in your hair. These bonds create the temporary shape of your hair, resulting in wavy, curly, frizzy, or just out of control hair!
How to Protect Your Hair
Hair is porous and absorbs moisture from the humid air. For those with dry hair, you’ll be more susceptible to this happening. If basic hair moisturizing isn’t enough to tame the beast, Keranique Marula Oil Hair Mist instantly adds moisture, shine, improves manageability, and smooths frizz and flyaways. Keeping your hair moisturized can help protect your hair from the frustrating effects of humidity.
