Frizz has a habit of showing up uninvited. One minute your hair is behaving, the next there are flyaways galore and you’re at a loss for what to do with it. Why does it always do that? It’s science: Hair reacts to moisture in the air, and when humidity rises, strands swell, cuticles lift, and frizz emerges. 

Here are speedy ways to outsmart it. 

Step 1: Start in the shower

Frizz doesn’t begin at styling; it begins when you wash it. Dehydrated hair reaches out to the atmosphere for moisture, which then leads to frizz. A hydrating shampoo and conditioner smooth the cuticle from the inside out, giving hair less reason to react later. Try using Almost Everything Cream as an intensive hair treatment each week too. 

Step 2: Prep Is everything

Before heat or air-drying, prep hair like you would skin before make-up. Almost Everything Cream seals the cuticle and creates a barrier between your hair and humidity. This step is non-negotiable.

Step 3: Dry with intention

Frizz loves chaos. Hair loves direction. Whether you’re blow-drying or air-drying, encourage the hair to lie flat. Use your hands, a brush or the Great Hairdryer nozzle to smooth the hair cuticle downwards, not upwards. Finish with a cool blast if you’re using heat – it closes the cuticle and locks everything in place.

Step 4: Seal the deal

A pea-sized amount of finishing product (like Almost Everything Cream) through mid-lengths and ends keeps hair glossy and manageable. The goal isn’t stiff perfection; it’s controlled movement. Hair should still feel like hair, just better behaved.

Step 5: Embrace it 

Some days are high humidity days. On those days, work with your hair, not against it. Softer shapes, looser textures and intentional movement look great, so don’t curse the frizz that arises with them. Just keep your hair healthy and hydrated and it’ll look great, rain or shine.
