Frizz-Free Summer: Best Products and Treatments to Keep Hair Smooth and Sleek
Summer heat and humidity may be great for your skin’s glow, but they can wreak havoc on your hair. Frizz, flyaways, and poofy strands are all too common when the temps rise and the air thickens with moisture. But you don’t have to settle for frizz-filled days. At Elan Hair, we specialize in helping clients fight back against summer hair struggles with proven products, professional treatments, and personalized care.
Whether you’re battling waves gone wild or curls that won’t calm down, here’s how to win the war on frizz this summer.
Why Hair Gets Frizzy in Summer
Frizz happens when dry or damaged hair absorbs moisture from the air. The hair’s cuticle (its outer layer) opens up to take in humidity, which causes strands to swell and become unruly. This is especially common in curly, wavy, and textured hair types—but anyone with dry or porous hair can experience it.
Sun exposure, heat styling, chlorine, and salt water can all worsen the problem by stripping the hair of its natural moisture barrier. That’s why summer is prime time for frizz, even in hair that usually behaves.
Professional Treatments That Fight Frizz
If your usual products aren’t cutting it, consider one of our salon treatments designed to smooth the cuticle, reduce puffiness, and lock in shine.
Keratin Smoother
Our full Keratin Smoother treatment transforms frizz-prone hair into silky, more manageable strands. It works by infusing the hair with keratin—a protein that fills in gaps in the cuticle—leaving hair smooth, straightened, and humidity-resistant for up to 3-5 months.
This treatment is ideal for:
- Thick, coarse, or curly hair
- Clients who frequently heat style
- Anyone who wants to cut down their morning blow-dry time
Keratin Express Smoother
Need a quick fix before vacation or an event? The Keratin Express Smoother is a faster, more affordable alternative that lasts up to 6 weeks. It delivers much of the same smoothing power as a full keratin treatment but with less processing time and a lower price point.
Deep Conditioning and Repair Masques
If your hair is mostly dry or moderately frizzy, a deeply hydrating conditioning treatment at Elan Hair can help. Ask us about Kérastase Fusio-Dose or a customized Kevin.Murphy repair masque to instantly restore softness, hydration, and shine.
Best At-Home Products to Control Summer Frizz
Pairing salon services with the right at-home products is the secret to long-term smoothness. These are some of our top picks available at Elan Hair:
Oribe Imperméable Anti-Humidity Spray
This cult-favorite finishing spray acts like an umbrella for your hair. It repels moisture without weighing your hair down and leaves a glossy finish. It’s especially great for finishing blowouts or keeping curls intact on hot, sticky days.
Kevin.Murphy SMOOTH.AGAIN
A leave-in smoothing treatment and styling cream in one, this product tames flyaways, softens texture, and provides heat protection—perfect for frizz-prone clients who still love their hot tools.
Kérastase Discipline Line
The entire Discipline collection is formulated to reduce frizz, improve manageability, and protect against humidity. The Fondant Fluidealiste conditioner and Kératine Thermique blow-dry primer are summer essentials.
Nutrafol Hair Growth Supplements
Frizz often starts with dry, brittle, or damaged strands. Nutrafol supports stronger, smoother hair growth from the inside out. By nourishing your body with targeted ingredients, it promotes softer, more resilient hair long term.
Smart Styling Tips for Summer Smoothness
- Switch to microfiber towels: Regular cotton towels rough up the hair cuticle. Microfiber helps reduce frizz from the very first step.
- Use a wide-tooth comb: Brushing wet hair can cause breakage and frizz. A wide-tooth comb detangles gently without damage.
- Avoid over-washing: Washing too frequently can strip your hair of the oils that naturally fight frizz. Try co-washing or using dry shampoo between washes.
- Protect while you sleep: Swap your cotton pillowcase for a silk or satin one to minimize friction and keep your hair smooth overnight.
