Sunny days, backyard BBQs, and afternoons at the beach give us plenty to love about summer. The humidity that leaves hair puffy and frizzy is less welcome, especially when it undoes your styling as soon as you step outside.
Straight, wavy, or curly, any hair type can feel the effects, particularly if frizz is already a familiar struggle. Learning how to protect hair from humidity starts with a few simple changes to your routine that can help keep your style manageable all summer.
By restoring your hair’s overall health, you restore its natural barrier against humidity. Damaged or dehydrated hair is more prone to puffiness and unmanageable frizz. Thus, prioritizing moisturizing, repairing (if needed), or oil-based treatments is one of the best ways to protect your hair from the undesirable effects of humidity.
If you need more tips on how to protect hair from humidity, here is a vital step. Make sure your hair is fully dry before heading outside. Damp strands are more likely to lose their shape and develop frizz as they dry in humid air. On hot days when you’d rather skip the blow dryer, an air-drying cream can help smooth your hair and keep frizz under control. Some formulas also shorten drying time, making them a handy addition to your summer routine.
One of the most effective ways to combat humidity is to use products suited to this issue! Indeed, most “anti-humidity” products provide a protective barrier. This allows your hair to resist humidity and summer heat! These products also offer an extra dose of hydration to your hair. We will present some of them at the end of this article!
Despite all these tips, the temperature may win the battle! To avoid a “bad hair day”, opt for a hairstyle that harmonizes with the temperature. If the humidity level forecasted for the next day is high, avoid overly complex styles. No one wants to spend hours in the bathroom when a few hours outside can ruin everything. When it’s very humid, prioritize ponytails or low buns. In addition to being easy to create, these hairstyles give a chic yet casual look.

If you regularly dye your hair, your hair fiber may be weakened, and humidity may penetrate more easily (see above). To counter this phenomenon, the Dream Coat spray is the perfect product! Unlike typical “anti-humidity” serums, Dream Coat does not build up, does not weigh down hair, and does not make it greasy. Moreover, since it is activated by heat, the effects last for 3 to 4 shampoos.
