Summer is here, and while we love the sunshine, beach days, and poolside lounging, the season often brings an unwelcome guest: frizz.
The good news? Frizz doesn’t have to ruin your summer style! With the right products and a few clever hacks, you can keep your hair smooth, sleek, and under control no matter what the weather throws your way. Let’s explore what causes frizz, how to tame it with HASK’s Keratin Smooth range, and some quick hacks to help you fight frizz all season long.
What causes frizz?
Before we dive into solutions, let’s understand what’s causing your hair to misbehave in the first place.
Humidity
Humidity is one of the biggest culprits behind frizz. When the air is damp, your hair tries to absorb the moisture, causing the cuticle (the outer layer of your hair) to swell and lift. This leads to that puffed-up, frizzy look we all dread.
Lack of hydration
Frizz is often a sign that your hair is thirsty. When your locks are dry or damaged, the cuticle becomes uneven and prone to absorbing excess moisture from the air, making frizz even worse.
Heat damage
Overusing heat tools like straighteners and curling irons can weaken your hair’s natural protective barrier, leaving it more vulnerable to frizz. Combine that with the summer sun, and your hair can quickly become dry and brittle.
Why does it happen to different hair types
Frizz doesn’t discriminate – it can happen to anyone. However:
● Curly hair is naturally more prone to frizz because its texture makes it harder for natural oils to travel down the hair shaft.
● Fine hair may become frizzy when overexposed to humidity or damaged by styling tools.
● Thick or coarse hair can get frizzy if it lacks proper moisture and care.

Quick frizz-fighting hacks
Even with the best products, your daily habits can make a big difference in keeping frizz at bay. Incorporate these hacks into your routine for extra frizz control.
1. Ditch the towel, grab a microfiber cloth instead
Regular towels can create friction, roughing up the hair cuticle and causing frizz. Instead, use a microfiber cloth or an old cotton T-shirt to blot your hair dry gently. This minimises damage and keeps the cuticle smooth.
2. Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase
Cotton pillowcases can draw moisture out of your hair and create friction while you sleep. Switch to a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce overnight frizz and wake up with smoother strands.
3. Use a wide-tooth comb
When detangling, avoid fine-tooth combs or brushes that can cause breakage and static. A wide-tooth comb is gentler on your hair and helps minimise damage while detangling.
4. Apply products to damp hair
Frizz-fighting products like the Keratin 5-in-1 Leave-In Spray work best when applied to damp hair. This helps lock in moisture and creates a protective barrier against humidity.
5. Embrace the air-dry
Overusing heat tools can exacerbate frizz, especially during summer. Try air-drying your hair with the help of frizz-fighting products to achieve a natural, smooth finish without the damage.
Why keratin is the secret to frizz control
Keratin is a naturally occurring protein that makes up the structure of your hair. HASK’s Keratin Smooth range is infused with keratin to help replenish lost protein, repair damage and create a smoother, shinier surface. By using keratin-infused products, you’re essentially giving your hair the building blocks it needs to stay strong and frizz-free.
