A Miracle Cure…? (Yes!)

Along with summer comes humidity - it's back, baby! Enjoy Shine and Smooth is your best defense against humidity, while nourishing your hair and adding shine. In addition to shine, smoothing and protection, Enjoy Shine and Smooth contains an anti-humectant which will help repel moisture in the air, AKA humidity. Some tips for dealing with humidity…
1) After shampooing, conditioning and towel-drying your hair, Enjoy Shine and Smooth is the absolute FIRST product that should go into your hair. This will be the first product to penetrate the hair shaft, thus offering nourishment and protection. Feel free to add any foundation/styling products after that. This product can also be used, in very small amounts, on dry hair. More protection and shine, while also controlling flyaways - yay! 
2) Always, always, ALWAYS make sure that your hair is 100% dry before you leave the house. Any moisture left within the hair will swell, causing that frizzy, flyaway look. As an addendum to this, air-drying hair can cause hair to absorb humidity, lending to that frizzed-out look. In addition, by blow drying hair you are helping to lay down, or smooth down, the cuticle. If you have curl and prefer to air dry, always remember to use a shine serum and styling products that will enhance curl and hold hair strands together.
3) Lastly, moisturize. Hair is very susceptible to the harsh summer sun and moisture will help to combat this and keep it in good working order. There are lots of serums, styling products and conditioners that are made to add moisture without weighing hair down. Gold standard is once a week for a deep conditioning treatment, no matter the weather. But any extra bit helps!
