Hair Care Tips for Humid, Sunny Florida
Living in Florida has its perks: beautiful beaches, warm weather year-round, and plenty of sunshine. But the high humidity, intense UV rays, and salt from the ocean can be tough on hair, causing frizz, dryness, and fading color. At Salon.B, we understand Florida’s unique climate challenges, and we’re here to share our top tips to keep your hair looking fabulous, no matter what the weather brings. Plus, we carry all the products you’ll need right here in the salon!
1. Combat Frizz with the Right Products
Florida’s humidity can lead to serious frizz. To keep your hair smooth and manageable, use anti-frizz products, starting with a shampoo and conditioner that add moisture without weighing hair down. Follow up with a leave-in conditioner or anti-humidity serum to create a barrier against moisture. Salon.B offers a range of anti-humidity and frizz-control products we’d be happy to recommend based on your hair type—all available right in the salon.
2. Use UV Protection for Your Hair
Just like skin, your hair needs protection from the sun. UV exposure can dry out hair, cause color fading, and even weaken strands. Look for products with built-in UV protection, or use a leave-in conditioner with SPF when you’re spending time outdoors. At Salon.B, we have a selection of sun-protective products to keep your hair vibrant and shielded from the Florida sun.
3. Rinse with Fresh Water Before and After Swimming
If you love Florida’s beaches and pools, you know that saltwater and chlorine can be drying and damaging. Rinse your hair with fresh water before taking a dip—wet hair absorbs less salt and chlorine, which minimizes damage. After swimming, rinse your hair again and use a leave-in conditioner to restore moisture. Ask us about our leave-in conditioners at Salon.B to keep your hair hydrated during beach season!
4. Hydrate with a Weekly Deep Conditioning Treatment
The intense sun and humidity can sap your hair’s natural moisture, so keep it hydrated with weekly deep conditioning treatments. These help repair any dryness or damage and keep your hair feeling soft and healthy. Salon.B offers deep conditioning treatments and also stocks salon-grade masks you can use at home to keep your hair silky and smooth.
5. Consider a Keratin Treatment for Long-Lasting Smoothness
Humidity can make hair feel unmanageable, but a Keratin treatment can help tame frizz and reduce styling time. Salon.B offers different levels of Keratin treatments (strong, medium, and mild) to suit all hair types. This treatment provides a smooth, shiny finish that’s more resistant to humidity, so you can keep frizz at bay for weeks at a time.
6. Use Lightweight, Moisturizing Products
In Florida’s heat, heavy products can weigh hair down and make it look greasy. Opt for lightweight, hydrating products that don’t add too much buildup but still keep hair moisturized. Leave-in sprays and lightweight serums are great options that won’t make your hair feel heavy. You’ll find all these lightweight, high-quality options on our shelves at Salon.B.
7. Avoid Frequent Heat Styling
High humidity already stresses your hair, so try to limit heat styling whenever possible. Air-drying or using heat-free styles can keep your hair healthier in the long run. When you do use heat tools, always apply a heat protectant to reduce damage. Salon.B stocks a variety of heat protectants to help protect and style your hair beautifully.
8. Keep Your Color Fresh
The Florida sun can quickly fade hair color, especially for lighter or vibrant shades. Use color-safe shampoos and conditioners, and consider a glossing treatment to enhance color and shine. If you’re looking for longer-lasting color, Salon.B offers a variety of color services to maintain your look through the hottest months—and our salon also carries the best color-preserving products to keep your shade vibrant.
