✨Glycerin is the most common humectant in curly hair products. In many dry climates Glycerin (Humectants) can suck moisture out of your hair. In extremely humid climates, your hair can become too moisturized, resulting in frizz. Humectants are usually best for people in climates with moderate humidity.
✨Since the summer is approaching, some people avoid glycerin during the summer since its a humectant that can suck moisture out of the atmosphere and into your hair making it sticky. Super moisturized hair equals happy hair that thrives and grows. As long as you aren’t piling on the glycerin or it isn’t too high in the ingredients list, you should be able to avoid sticky hair. The general rule to prevent summer time frizz is to moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. The theory behind this is that if your strands have been moisturized sufficiently, then they won’t suck up any more moisture from the atmosphere and swell and create frizz.
✨Check the ingredients in your hair products seasonally. Remember, the same glycerin that may add fresh moisture to your mane during spring months may also contribute to persistent summer frizz.
✨Hope this helps for people who are experiencing more frizz in the summer. As long as you don’t overload in products that contain glycerin and have been moisturizing your hair, you should be fine ✨✨✨✨
