Humidity and cold are a real challenge
not just for our hair’s health, but its good looks as well.
Discover how to guarantee  gorgeous smooth hair
and avoid frizz, whatever the weather.

What causes frizz?

Two important factors are your hair’s condition and the climate. 
The cuticle of healthy hair has tight, smooth scales – that’s why it looks
shiny and under control. 
On the other hand, dehydrated hair has a porous cuticle with loose scales.
It swells up when the weather is humid and gives hair a dull, frizzy and out
of control appearance. 
Dry, damaged hair is especially likely to get frizzy, but whatever your hair’s
condition it’s important
to adopt the essential gestures because the cold, the rain and the wind have
a dehydrating action.

How can I make my hair smooth and shiny?

Hydration and protection are your best solution.
Stephan, the Leonor Greyl Institute’s color specialist, explains that “smooth hair
has perfectly aligned scales which reflect light like a mirror.
The healthier and more hydrated your hair is, the more beautifully and radiant it will be.”
So, hydrate your hair regularly using deep treatments that slowly penetrate and
hydrate hair fibers.
Rich in botanical extracts and oils, masks easily convey the hydrating agents,
which make them the best allies for dehydrated hair.

Remember to apply a mask on your length and ends after each shampoo
to give your hair an instant softness and shine and make it easier to control.

If you’re not quite ready to wash your hair yet, Tonique Hydratant plumps it up
by providing the energizing ingredients it needs to look healthy.
This leave-in hydrating mist is easy to use, making it perfect for very dry and
frizzy hair.

Are you a fan of hairdryer or straightening irons?
That’s not a problem so long as you protect your hair first.
Heat and wind dry out hair fibers in an instant, so you always need to apply
a styling product to avoid that “straw like” look and get healthy, silky hair.
And for the final touch before you go out, your styling product guarantees that
your hair stays hydrated and protected from static and frizz all day long.

Styling products, which solution should I choose?

When you need shiny, smooth hair whatever the weather, you can rely on
the botanical proteins in styling products:
they create a protective barrier around individual hairs and instantly smooth scales.
If you have fine or normal hair, opt for Sérum de Soie sublimateur
and its hydrating silk proteins. They instantly highlight your hair without giving it that
heavy look.
If you have thick or frizzy hair, choose Éclat Naturel: because it’s rich in shea butter
and jojoba oil, it tames even the unruliest hair.

The extra tip

Be careful when using silicone-based styling products: they give hair a heavy,
coated look.
To protect and smooth your hair, favor natural products based on botanical oils
and plant proteins.
They are usually less greasy and more effective over the long-term.
