Are you also one of those people for whom drizzly and rainy days are always bad, frizzy hair days? To be honest, few styles don’t suffer from frizz: aside from the hair’s natural tendency to get coarse, it can also happen when the hair is dehydrated and brittle.
Frizzy Hair: Why?
Why does humidity make hair frizzy? The hair has an external layer, known as cuticle, which is exposed to mechanical and chemical stress (e.g. the use of heated tools or aggressive treatments), as well as the weather conditions, such as humidity.
The cuticle is composed of a series of overlapping scales that can open due to the action of stressing agents, as a result of dehydration or even a genetic predisposition. This means the hair reflects less light and appears dull, frizzy and unruly.
When the cuticle is raised, the hair is more likely to absorb additional humidity, making the hair fibre less toned and elastic and therefore more prone to breakage.
Frizz is also a matter of genetics – The hair’s appearance is very closely related to genetics; the right routine, therefore, although it can’t drastically change the hair’s structure, can improve and control it, making it look healthy and well-cared-for. Of course, this also applies to frizzy hair, which, if treated with the right products, can undergo a surprising transformation.

Minuta Olive Extract to straighten the hair
As well as the products that have been conceived to make straightening easier, the secret to perfectly straight hair is keeping hair hydrated, compact and protected from external aggressors.
Davines’ LOVE Smoothing products have been created especially for frizzy and unruly hair and contain Sicilian Minuta Olive extract from a Slow Food Presidio.
Our Minuta Olive-derived active ingredient now performs even better, thanks to the exclusive enzymatic extraction process which, by using water instead of traditional solvents, enhances the product’s elasticizing and nourishing properties, thus helping it increase hair’s resistance to breaking.
