Hair Care in Humid climate

Hair Care in Humid climate
Whatever your hair type, your hair swells and expands when it's wet and behaves in the same way in a humid climate, where the air is full of moisture. Humidity will make hair fluffy and, if it's prone to curling, it will cause frizziness. All hair types will benefit from a pre-holiday conditioning treatment in the salon to nourish the hair shafts and seal the cuticles. Preventing excess moisture from entering the hair shaft in a humid climate is key.
Hair Care for Fine hair in Humid climate
This tends to get weighed down by the moisture in the air and looks flat and limp. Just as with other hair types, you need to block out the humidity if you can. A pre-holiday salon treatment will help to reduce split ends and close the cuticles that allow water to enter the hair shaft. Use a light leave-in conditioner on your hair while you are away (apply it from mid-way down the length of your hair to the ends) and seal the ends of the hair after blow-drying with a serum.
Be careful not to use too much serum on fine hair - a blob the size of your thumbnail is more than enough, hairsprays are a great SOS option for a bad-hair day in humidity - they instantly hold down the cuticle of the hair and prevent moisture from entering the hair shaft.
Care for Curly and frizzy hair in Humid climate
Sealing the outside of your hair - the cuticle - is the only way you will minimize the candyfloss look while you are away. A pre-holiday deep-conditioning treatment is a must. Make sure you pack a creamy leave-in conditioner for your trip and use it religiously every morning. Using an anti-frizz serum will help bring unruly curls to heel. It coats the hair shaft with silicone, not only sealing the cuticle but also weighing the hair down a little.
If your hair is really frizzy, try working some serum through it while it is still wet before blow-drying. This should add some weight to the curls and seal the cuticles so that your hair does not absorb water, swell and frizz again as it dries. If you decide to go with the flow and make the most of your curls while you're away, mix gel and serum together in the palm of your hand and apply it throughout the hair to give the curls extra definition and shape.

How to Style Poofy Hair

How to Style Poofy Hair

Put down that flat iron! It's only making your poofy hair worse!

Steps

1. If your hair naturally curly, you should stop washing it with shampoos that contain sodium laureth/lauryl & ammonium laureth/lauryl sulfate, they dry out the hair terribly, making your hair puffier, and bigger.
2. Use a wide toothed comb to detangle hair when wet.
3. Use a good moisturzing conditioner.
4. If you can, try not to use silicones, they build up on the hair, and you need sulfates to remove them, which dry out your hair. Any ingredient that ends in -cone or -xane is a silicone. (Some common ones are dimethicone, cylmethicone, and amodimethicone. Amodimethicone is a lot easier to remove)
5. Use a a diffuser if you blowdry your hair.
6. If you do shampoo, use ones with ingredients like these: Apricotamidopropyl Betaine and Cocoamidapropyl Betaine. Activate makes a good one.
7. DON'T TOUCH YOUR HAIR WHILE IT'S DRYING! Touching it will make it frizzy. Plus, it will make your hair expand.

Tips* Don't flat iron your hair, it's one of the worst things you can do!* If you want your curls to look a little looser, try putting a clip at then end of it while it dries, it weighs it down.* Try getting the book, "Curly Girl" by Lorriane Massey, it's excellent.Warnings * Don't put the blow dryer on high because sometimes the diffuser will pop off and could hit your head. Always use the warm or cool setting.

I'm a hair stylist and feel like I work at the best Hair Salon in beautiful Destin Florida! I love what I do and where I live....Life couldn't be any better! I have been in the hair industry for over 27 years and am happy to be continuing my career as a hair stylist at Bliss Salon in Destin Florida. I came to Destin in 2001 for the beaches and atmosphere…I love it here and plan on retiring as a hair stylist here. Because of the love for what I do, I don’t see that happening any time soon… I truly enjoy creating hair styles and find it very gratifying. Bliss Salon offers a comfortable and stress-free environment that starts the minute clients walk in the door. I continue the relaxed feeling in our hair salon by getting to know my clients and opening up a dialogue about their vision for their hair by getting to know who they really are. I always strive to create an environment in which my clients are at ease to express themselves and their ideas. It is my goal to help every hair client find a style that is a true fit for their hair type, and one that the client can easily replicate at home. I also believe you can never stop learning in this industry so I stay current with the lastest hair trends so I am able to cater to my wide range of clientele. I have experience with styling for photos or wedding updos, up to date haircut and styles for our youth, grandma's weekly shampoo set, and coming up with that versatile yet easy hair style for the mother on the go. I absolutely love every aspect of my job and hope to see you at Bliss Salon very soon!
