Local hair stylist, Maite Mashapa, says too much heat on the hair has a tendency of drying it out, which also causes breakage. “This makes it very easy for the hair to fall out and get damaged by the sun, and most likely get affected by humidity as well,” Maite said.
If your hair is usually dried out by heat, water vapour in the air will be attracted to it much faster, so naturally, you may want to pursue heat-alternatives during the warmer months or hot seasons. If that’s not an option for you, then products that protect against heat styling damage and that are silicone-free are recommended. Other tips to avoid humidity from affecting your hair is to use a hydrating hair shampoo and conditioner, dry your hair using a round brush, spray a heat-protection-product serum to detangle, define, and protect your hair from heat damage.
