As the days grow warmer and the Sydney air gets heavier with spring humidity, many of us start to notice a familiar frenemy returning: frizz. At Esstudio, we believe your hair should feel just as good as the sunshine does. With the right care and prep now, you can keep your hair smooth, healthy, and ready to shine right through summer.

Why Does Humidity Equal Frizz?

Humidity causes hair to swell as moisture enters the hair shaft, disrupting your cuticle and creating that fluffy, flyaway effect. This is especially noticeable if your hair is naturally dry, curly, or chemically treated. The key to beating frizz is strengthening your cuticle and keeping hydration levels balanced before summer fully kicks in.

Step 1: Prep with Keratin Treatments

A professional keratin treatment is one of the most effective ways to create a humidity shield for your hair. Not only does it smooth and strengthen strands, but it also reduces styling time and gives your hair that glossy, polished finish. Spring is the perfect time to book in — you’ll glide into summer with frizz-free confidence.

Pro tip: Keratin results last longer when you use a sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner at home. Sulphate will strip out the keratin. Using a Keratin shampoo and Conditioner will prolong the treatment

Step 2: Always Use Heat Protection

If you’re reaching for the blow dryer, straightener, or curling wand, don’t skip heat protection. Humidity already puts your cuticle under pressure, and heat without a barrier can cause dryness and damage. A lightweight heat protectant spray or serum will help maintain smoothness, shine, and prevent breakage — making your styling last longer even when the air is sticky.

Step 3: Nourish with Moisture Treatments

Frizz is often a sign your hair is thirsty. Weekly nourishing masks and leave-in conditioners keep your cuticle hydrated and less prone to absorbing excess moisture from the air. Look for formulas rich in natural oils (argan, coconut, jojoba) or professional salon treatments like Olaplex and bond-building masks that strengthen from the inside out.

At Esstudio, our in-salon moisture rituals are designed to flood your hair with hydration and repair, prepping it to handle the harsh summer sun ahead.

Step 4: Sun-Safe Styling

Just like your skin, your hair needs protection from UV rays. Choose styling products that include UV filters, wear a chic scarf or hat on extra sunny days, and avoid over-washing — which can strip away natural oils that help combat frizz.

Remember to wet your hair down prior to swimming at the beach and always wash your salt water out no matter how good it looks haha!

Step 5: Refresh Your Cut

Sometimes the simplest way to fight frizz is with a healthy trim. Removing dry, split ends reduces fuzz and makes your style sit more smoothly. A spring “refresh cut” is a quick win for maintaining shape and shine.
