Hey!
CeCeUNedited was on Mane and Chic today!!! Please go vote for my tip as one you would use!! Here is the actual article/tip I wrote:
Decipher Hair Weather Patterns!
Be weather savvy and prepared. Check out your forecast and beauty forecast the night before. Some styles such as braid-outs and twist-outs will shrink up into fuzzy nothingness at the hint of humidity. There are some ingredients to look for that will help you survive humidity.
There is a classification of ingredient called humectants which draw moisture from the atmosphere and adds it to your hair. Some of those ingredients include glycerin, aloe vera, honey and more. These are not good for keeping your hair from frizzing and puffing, seeing as they take moisture from the air and insert it to your strands. However, there are ingredients such as silicones which help keep the hair strands smooth and block moisture from entering the hair strands. for those of you who are doing the Curly Girl method, Hydrolyzed wheat protein is a semi silicone which is water soluble, but should protect hair and work as a sort of anti humidity entity. Another type of ingredient is panthenol, this penetrates hair efficiently and thickens, moisturizes, and smooths hair strands. Finally, ingredients such as paraffinum liquidum and hydrolyzed silk protein help smooth hair and give it a silky, smooth feel and protect moisture from the atmosphere from frizzing up your tresses. Be sure when applying the products to your hair, that you smooth them into your strands so that it fully coats your hair!
Here are some anti humidity products I've used:
Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream
, Biosilk Silk Therapy Serum
, Chi Silk Infusion
, Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding
, Garnier Fructis Anti-Humidity Milk
, Ecostyler Gel (Olive Oil)
, Urban Therapy Twisted Sista Curl Activator and Urban Therapy Different Strokes Serum.
*Note: Paraffinum liquidum is a form of mineral oil. The key about using paraffinum and silicones is that they keep moisture out of your hair. People become weary of using it, but if you use is properly and are aware of what it does and what you are using it for, it can be your friend. It works wonders against humidity and if you moisturize under it and use it as a sealant, you and your hair will both be happy! Knowledge is power and this is how you can learn to use even the most taboo of ingredients to your advantage! How's that for fighting back against humidity!!
