Humidity is the ultimate hair saboteur. No matter how perfect your blow-dry looks, one step into muggy, moisture-filled air can send frizz into full bloom, especially if your hair is coloured, dry, or damaged.
Fortunately, Color Wow, paired with powerhouse brands like Teknia and INNOluxe can offer the perfect balance of protection.
Let’s walk you through how to layer these professional hair products to create a frizz-proof haircare routine, perfect for battling Australia’s unpredictable weather and restoring silky, smooth, radiant strands from root to tip.
Why Frizz Happens (and How to Stop It)
Frizz forms when your hair's outer layer (the cuticle) lifts, allowing moisture from the air to sneak in. If your hair is dry, porous, or chemically treated, this effect is even worse.
The solution? A combination of anti-humidity spray for hair, sulphate-free colour-safe shampoo, heat protection, and styling products designed to lock in moisture and repel external humidity.
Step 1. Start in the Shower: The Importance of Sulphate-Free Colour-Safe Shampoo
Your anti-frizz journey starts at the basin. Cleansing and conditioning with the wrong shampoo can strip your strands, raise the cuticle, and leave your hair wide open to humidity.
Try: Color Wow Color Security Shampoo
Color Wow Color Security Shampoo is a sulphate-free colour-safe shampoo that’s become a favourite for its ability to clean the hair without leaving residue or dulling colour. It’s ideal for all hair types, especially coloured or keratin-treated strands.
Why we love it:
- 100% clean formula – no silicones, sulphates, or parabens
- Doesn’t oxidise hair colour
- Gentle enough for daily use
Want something more tailored? Pair with Teknia Scalp Care if you’re dealing with scalp imbalance or dryness. The range helps restore the scalp’s natural microbiome while protecting coloured hair.
Step 2. Repair & Strengthen: Add INNOluxe ReBond or Teknia Deep Care
Before you get into styling, reinforce the hair’s inner structure with a treatment that strengthens and smooths.
Option 1:
INNOluxe Elixir V3, as a leave-in treatment, rebuilds disulphide bonds broken during colouring, reducing porosity and sealing the cuticle to help lock out moisture.
Option 2:
Teknia Deep Care Treatment as an intensive moisturising mask designed for colour-treated and dry hair.
Why it matters:
Less porous hair equals less frizz. These treatments create a smoother hair surface that repels humidity and retains shine.
Step 3. Protect & Prime: Heat Protection Hair Spray
If you’re heat-styling (and most frizz-control routines do), a heat protectant is non-negotiable.
Try:
- Color Wow Dream Cocktail (Carb-Infused or Coconut-Infused), depending on your needs (volume or moisture).
- Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray for heat styling, as this cult favourite anti-humidity spray for hair uses heat activation to create a waterproof veil that lasts for up to 3 shampoos.
Why we love it:
- Delivers sleek, glass-like shine
- Lightweight and residue-free
- A go-to shine spray for hair with real longevity
Pro Tip: Pair with a quality hot tool like the Kaleo Hair Dryer or Wide Iron for salon-level results.
Step 4. Style Smart: Finish with Frizz-Control Sprays and Serums
Once your base is prepped and your hair is styled, finishing products lock in smoothness and shield your strands.
Consider:
- Color Wow Style on Steroids for texture without stickiness.
- Color Wow Pop & Lock Gloss Treatment to deliver mirror-like shine and tame flyaways without adding weight.
Why it works:
Unlike heavy oils, Color Wow's formulations won't flatten your style or cause buildup - just humidity-resistant, radiant hair.
Bonus Step: Scalp Balance for Long-Term Frizz Control
A healthy scalp lays the foundation for frizz-resistant hair. The Lakmé Teknia Scalp Care Collection promotes balance by supporting the scalp's microbiome.
Top Picks:
- Teknia Scalp Detox Shampoo: Clarifies without stripping
- Teknia Scalp Care Relief Mask: Soothes irritation and rebalances oil
Why it matters:
Oily or irritated scalps can contribute to product buildup or over-washing, which worsens frizz. A balanced scalp = better product absorption and smoother hair.
