Hair that's puffy, frizzy and unmanageable? The weather isn't on your side, but we are!

Hair's number one enemy? Humidity! All it takes is a rainy day or a gloomy weekend to transform the perfect style into a mess of volume and knots. But why does it happen? Is it really inevitable or can we do something to prevent the annoying "frizz effect"? Let's find out together the causes and how to combat it with the right habits together with selected Balique products.

What is frizz and why does hair swell in humidity?

Frizzy hair is immediately recognizable: it appears dry , rough to the touch and lacks definition . This effect is due to the structure of the hair itself which, when dehydrated, absorbs humidity from the surrounding air, lifting the cuticles and making it unmanageable.

The main factors that cause frizz

The problem of frizz is not only linked to the weather : there are other conditions that favor it, including:

💧 Dehydration : Dry and porous hair absorbs external moisture more easily;
🔥 Excessive use of heat : high-temperature hair dryers and straighteners weaken the hair fiber;
🧴 Aggressive products : shampoos with sulphates or alcohol dry out hair and make it more prone to frizz;
😫 Damaged hair : chemical treatments and frequent coloring can alter the structure of the hair shaft.

What hair types are most susceptible?

Some hair types are more prone to frizz than others , including:

👩‍🦱 Curly and wavy hair : by nature, they are more porous and therefore more likely to retain moisture.
👩‍🦳 White, bleached or chemically treated hair : appears drier and more fragile, with raised cuticles.
👩‍🦰 Fine hair : easily becomes frizzy and loses definition in humid weather.
