The Short Answer
Humidity causes frizz when hair absorbs moisture from the air. This makes hair expand and lose shape, especially when it is dry or porous.
Frizz control in Canadian humidity depends on hydration, sealing, and consistent routines.
Who This Is Best For
- Hair that puffs up in humid weather.
- Hair that looks smooth indoors but frizzes outside.
- Wavy or curly hair affected by moisture in the air.
- Hair that feels dry through the ends.
Who May Need a Different Approach
- Hair that is severely damaged and breaks easily.
- Hair that is very fine and loses volume with smoothing care.
- Scalp issues that cause oil imbalance rather than frizz.
How Stylists at Cabelo Manage Humidity Frizz
We treat humidity frizz as a moisture imbalance. Hair that lacks internal hydration absorbs water from the air.
Our approach focuses on keeping hair hydrated and sealing the cuticle during styling.
What We Look At First
- Hair texture and porosity.
- Where frizz appears. Roots, mid lengths, or ends.
- Drying method. Air dry versus blow dry.
- Use of heat and finishing products.
Common Mistakes We See
- Skipping conditioner in humid weather.
- Over washing during summer months.
- Touching hair repeatedly while drying.
- Relying on oil alone for frizz control.
How to Reduce Frizz in Humid Weather
Consistency matters more than product strength. Focus on hydration during washing and controlled drying.
During Washing
- Use a gentle, smoothing shampoo.
- Condition mid lengths and ends thoroughly.
- Rinse with cooler water to help close the cuticle.
During Styling
- Gently towel dry. Do not rub.
- Apply smoothing or anti frizz product evenly.
- Blow dry with tension if smoothness is the goal.
- Avoid touching hair until fully dry.
How Often to Wash
- Wash based on scalp needs, not humidity.
- Avoid daily washing if hair feels dry.
- Use dry styling products between washes if needed.

Common Questions
Why does my hair frizz more in summer
Higher humidity increases moisture in the air. Dry or porous hair absorbs this moisture and expands.
Does air drying cause more frizz
It can. Air drying without product often leaves the cuticle raised.
Will oils stop humidity frizz
Oils help seal hair but do not replace hydration. They work best when layered over properly conditioned hair.
Final Verdict
Controlling frizz in humid Canadian weather requires hydration and controlled styling. Keep routines consistent and avoid over washing.
