Collection: Humidity

We’ve all been there – hours of perfecting wash day techniques and styling, just to step outside and be greeted by frizz. But with our humidity know-how and our glycerin free Seal + Shield collection you can achieve the definition your curls deserve. The good news is we can plan for the weather.

The dew point is the temperature at which water vapour condenses in the air. The lower the dew point, the drier the air. The higher the dew point, the more moisture in the atmosphere and the more humid it feels. Dew and humidity can affect your hair by over-saturating the strands with moisture. Just as you might adjust your skincare routine through the seasons, adapting your haircare is important too.

Many curly hair products contain humectants like glycerin, an ingredient that absorbs water and helps draw moisture into your hair when you need it most. It’s great for curly hair that dries quickly and works best during normal conditions, when the dew point is between 2-16°C/35-60F. However, when humidity levels are high, glycerin continues to absorb moisture, leaving your follicles bloated, limp and frizzy. Not good! Help is at hand with the Seal + Shield collection. It keeps humidity out and definition IN so you can have shapely curls whatever the weather.
