Avanti DalalPublished on May 30, 20228 products and formulas to tamp down frizz this monsoonDon’t let the rainy season wreak havoc on your maneIt’s warm, sweltering and damp outside. The humidity levels are off the charts, and if you’re anything like us, so are you frizz levels. All that extra moisture in the air is pulled in by your dry and dehydrated strands, opening up the cuticles of the hair shelf and forcing them to swell up and upend all smoothness. Showering with super hot water, using hot equipment and colouring your hair frequently can do the same thing—it is actually very easy to wreak havoc on your mane if you don’t take care of it. Here are the tools, products and formulas that’ll really help save your hair for the next few months.Briogeo Curl Charisma™ Rice Amino + Avocado Frizz Control Gel₹1980Shop hereSince it's harder for the scalp's natural oils to coat strands from root to ends thanks to their structure, curly hair is more prone to dryness and frizz than any other hair type. This leave-in cream provides light to medium hold, leaving the natural shape of the curls without weighing them down. Rice amino acids and tomato extract smoothen and seal the cuticle, while keratin and quinoa extract strengthen and improve elasticity.Dame Essentials Mulberry Silk Pillowcase₹ 1,600Shop hereWhat you sleep on also changes the game. Cotton pillowcases are fibrous, so they land up drawing natural oils out of the hair and leave your strands looking dry and more prone to frizz. Try swapping it for a silk one, which prevents breakage, ensures that the moisture levels stay untouched and actually lets your hair serums and oils do their job.Fable and Mane HoliRoots™ Hibiscus Hydrating Hair Oil Mist₹ 2,405Shop hereThis super nourishing bi-phase hair mist is enriched with antioxidants and red hibiscus—just shake it well and mist it on dry hair to leave it feeling soft to the touch and bouncier than before. It has squalane too, a lightweight hydrator that tamps all the frizz down.Gallinee Scalp and Hair Serum₹2,700Shop hereThis serum contains artichoke extract to preserve the cohesion of cuticle scales. This helps maintain the hair’s protective outer sheath. Along with fermented rice water, lactic acid and prebiotics, applying the serum onto the scalp and strands ensures that your hair is more resilient and a lot shinier.IGK Swipe Up₹ 1,395Shop hereBattling flyaways that are messing with your sleek buns or your high ponytail? These smoothing wipes are enriched with avocado and camellia oil—just swipe from root to tip (or any particularly frizzy areas) to leave hair smooth and shiny without weighing it down. Out at a party or have a long commute before you reach work? Just pop these in your bag for an SOS smooth-down.K18 Molecular Repair Hair Mask₹ 5,625Shop hereThis buzzy hair treatment works due to the peptides in the formulation, which repair broken polypeptide chains and disulfide bonds to prevent breakage and soften fuzzy strands. If your hair is porous, crunchy or over-processed, you’ll want to try this—it is able to reconnect the strands as if they weren’t damaged, bringing the chains back to their original natural state.Kérastase Nutritive 8hr Magic Night Serum₹ 3,500Shop hereThey call it beauty sleep for a reason, and this hair serum really helps you get there. It is a lightweight formula that fortifies hair fibres with Vitamin B and iris rhizome extract. The creamy texture sinks in immediately, so neither will you stain your pillow case, and nor will you wake up with matted, greasy hair. Instead, your strands look freshly washed and super silky, which is exactly what you’re looking for.Skog Frizzy Hair Serum₹ 1,620Shop hereBrushing or trying to style your hair when it is super dry ends up making it more frizzy, because as you lift up the cuticle layer, you could be forcing the strands to pull in more moisture and cause stress to it, making it swell. To prevent it, use an oil-based serum like this one before combing through your hair to protect moisture.Also Read: Have thinning hair?
