With the sun, sweat, and heat constantly stressing your hair, summer often brings increased dryness, frizz, and damage. Sun exposure, salt water, and chlorine can alter hair color and strip natural oils. However, LOVESmoothing by Davines can help you maintain nourished, hydrated, and protected hair. This ensures your strands stay healthy, even in harsh summer conditions.

WHAT CAUSES FRIZZY HAIR?

Three main factors can lead to unwanted frizz: genetics, humidity, and hair damage. Hair structure is maintained by two types of chemical bonds: disulfide bonds and hydrogen bonds. Disulfide bonds are strong and can only be changed with chemical treatments. Hydrogen bonds, however, are weaker and influenced by humidity and heat—two common summer conditions. The rearrangement of these hydrogen bonds can result in frizzy hair.

WHY IS HAIR FRIZZIER IN THE SUMMER? 

As humidity fluctuates, hair structure changes. In humid environments, hair absorbs moisture from the air, disrupting hydrogen bonds and causing strands to swell. As a result, hair appears less smooth and defined.

Curly hair is especially prone to frizz because it is naturally drier than straight hair.

If your hair is colored or bleached, the cuticle layer may be damaged and porous, increasing its tendency to absorb moisture and swell. Besides becoming frizzy, damaged hair is also more likely to break and stick out.

Once you complete your smoothing and hydrating ritual in the salon, it is essential that you maintain a healthy haircare routine at home.

 

Use this ritual to keep your hair hydrated, protected, and smooth:
Step 1: SHAMPOO

The ritual begins with cleansing, the most essential step in any hair treatment. The gentle and hydrating LOVE Smoothing Shampoo, enriched with Minuta olive extract, helps to seal the cuticles and combat unwanted frizz.

Step 2: MASK

Even a gentle cleanse can leave your hair prone to absorbing humidity if it isn’t followed by some sort of conditioning treatment. To fully protect it, comb the LOVE Smoothing Instant Mask into wet hair, allowing it to soak for 30 seconds before rinsing with warm water.

Step 3: STYLING

The third and final step in this summer ritual keeps the hair sealed and protected from environmental factors that create frizz. LOVE Smoothing Perfector is applied evenly to towel-dried hair, then finished with any pre-styling treatment.

Anti-Frizz FAQ’s 

When should I do an anti-frizz treatment?

In the summer, when hair is most exposed to factors that create frizz. But smoothing treatments are beneficial during any season — especially if you live in a humid region or have textured hair.

What are the main causes of summer hair troubles?

During summer, hair is more exposed to humidity, sun, salt, and chlorine, which can cause it to swell up and become frizzy or tangled.

How does the LOVE Smoothing treatment reduce frizz?

Thanks to its formulation, the LOVE Smoothing line creates a protective film on the hair, preventing it from absorbing moisture from the air. The strands stay compact as the cuticles remain closed and protected.
