WHY IS MY HAIR SO POOFY?

Whether you wake up with poofy hair or your strands seem to expand throughout the day, dealing with frizz and sudden volume can really deflate your style. So, why does poofy hair happen, and what can you do about it?

  

Four Reasons for Poofy Hair

1. Humidity  

The ultimate culprit! During the summer months, the air becomes heavy and thick, causing your hair to absorb moisture like a sponge. When this happens, the extra moisture causes your cuticles to swell, making them porous and prone to frizz. The result? Hair that seemingly has a mind of its own.

  

2. Lack of Moisture 

Ironically, the scorching sun can be the troublemaker, robbing your hair of its natural oils and leaving it parched and prone to damage. And if you're in the habit of over washing your hair, well, you guessed it, it just adds to the whole puffiness equation.

 

3. The Wrong Products 

You might've heard that those heavy, oil-based products can turn your hair into a flat and lifeless situation. But then, on the flip side, there are products that do just the opposite, leaving your hair exposed and unprotected against the elements.

 

4. Overuse of Styling Products 

Now, if you're the reigning queen of your straightener or curling iron, here's the deal: excessive heat can spell trouble for your hair and lead to more of that poofiness. Those high temperatures have a knack for stealing your hair's natural moisture, making it puff up with even more volume. If you absolutely must use your trusty heat styling tools, make sure to use a heat protectant spray to minimize the damage.

  

How to Make Your Hair Less Poofy

 

Hydration is Key!  

Keeping your hair happy and hydrated is an absolute must. Seek out those hydrating heroes – shampoos, conditioners, and leave-in treatments packed with ingredients that quench your hair's thirst from the inside out. Ready for some suggestions? 

Crafted with hemp seed extract, it protects, hydrates, and contours your waves. Plus, the bergamot, apple, and plum scents revive your senses.

Treat your tresses to a little extra hydration. Infused with avocado and jojoba seed oil, this ultra-rich conditioner transforms your hair from dry to quenched. 

When your hair needs more of a boost! This hydrating leave-in conditioner instantly tames frizz and softens hair. 

 

Embrace Your Hair Texture 

Wavy, curly, or coily locks might occasionally play the frizz card, but when you embrace your natural texture, it's like having your hair's back. Your mane becomes a breeze to handle, less likely to poof up and get rebellious on you. 

So, let your waves, curls, or coils shine through, and use the right products to keep your hair looking sleek and frizz-free while celebrating your unique style.

Try Out Protective Hairstyles 

When the weather's turned humid, it's time to bring out the protective styles, like braids, buns, or ponytails. These hairstyles are your secret weapon against hair chaos. They shield your hair from moisture and outside elements, and they look awesome. 

Dealing with poofy hair is a common challenge, but you've got this. Understanding your hair's quirks, using the right products, and a little love and care can make a world of difference. So, embrace your natural beauty, and nothing can hold you back from owning your locks.
