How to Keep Frizz Under Control in Florida’s Humidity

Every week, someone sits in my chair and says, “Emily, why does my hair double in size the second I walk outside?” If you live in Bay Harbor Islands, you already know the answer. It’s the heat, the salt in the air, and that sticky humidity we all love to hate. Frizz feels impossible here, but I promise it doesn’t have to win.

Start in the Shower

Healthy, smooth hair begins long before you pick up a brush. If you rush through washing or skip conditioner, your hair is left thirsty and grabs onto every bit of moisture outside. Taking a little extra care in the shower makes a big difference. Think of it as setting the stage so your hair has a fighting chance once you step out the door.

• Condition every single time, even if you think your hair is too fine.
• Rinse with cool water at the end. It helps close the cuticle and adds shine.
• Be gentle with your scalp and strands so you don’t rough things up before styling.

Outsmart the Weather

Here’s a truth I’ve learned after years behind the chair: you can’t stop the humidity, but you can work around it. I always suggest layering light leave-in care instead of overloading hair with heavy products. Too much weighs you down, too little leaves you frizzy. The sweet spot is that balanced middle ground where your hair feels soft but not sticky. When I leave the salon for lunch near the Bay Harbor Islands Branch Library, that’s what keeps my own hair from puffing up right away.

Heat Styling Without the Damage

Heat can smooth your hair beautifully or make it rebel against you. The trick is in the technique. Always dry your hair with intention instead of blasting it randomly. Point your dryer downward to smooth the strands instead of lifting them. Use a brush that grips without tugging. And don’t forget the finishing touch, a cool shot seals everything in and keeps hair sleeker for longer.

Many of our Bay Harbor clients book a Styling & Blow Dry for special occasions because it’s the fastest way to enjoy frizz-free hair that lasts through an evening downtown.

Make Time for Deeper Care

Sometimes frizz isn’t just about the weather. It’s about hair that’s worn out, dry, or over-processed. That’s where a professional treatment comes in. One client told me her hair felt “fluffy” no matter how she styled it. After a few smoothing treatments at LAHH Salon, her morning routine got ten times easier. The shine came back, and she finally felt in control of her look.

If your hair feels the same, booking a Hair Color and Treatment session can help reset it. We take the time to figure out what your hair actually needs, not just slap on a quick fix.

Simple Tricks That Really Help

Here are a few little habits that make a big impact:

• Pat hair dry with a soft towel instead of rubbing it.
• Sleep on a silk pillowcase so your style lasts longer overnight.
• Keep your hands off your hair once it’s styled. Touching creates more frizz than you think.

Why Professional Guidance Matters

At LAHH Salon, we see frizz in every form, curly, straight, fine, thick. And every client needs something different. That’s why we don’t just send you home with generic advice. I work alongside Guy Ifrati, Cindy Milena Gaviria, and Priscilla Barriga, and together we personalize every tip and treatment to your lifestyle here in Bay Harbor Islands. It’s not about chasing “perfect hair.” It’s about making your everyday routine easier and more enjoyable.
