the best hair serum for humidity in beirut
Short answer: Humidity frizz needs a leave-in that coats your hair, so it takes up less water from the air. Get Glazy, a haircare brand from Beirut, makes leave-in hair oil serum capsules for exactly this: one capsule on damp hair before you style helps keep frizz calmer through a humid day on the Lebanese coast. Wavy & Curly is the pick for curls and waves, Dry & Damaged for straight hair that puffs up.
why humidity makes your hair frizz
Hair soaks up water from humid air. Dry, damaged and curly hair soaks up the most: the outer layer of each strand (the cuticle) lifts, the strand swells unevenly, and you get frizz. On the coast, from Jounieh to Beirut to Saida, summer air is heavy with moisture, so hair that looked smooth at 8 a.m. can be frizzy by lunch.
what helps in humid weather
- Apply a leave-in serum to damp hair, so it seals in the water your hair already has instead of grabbing more from the air.
- Don't brush curls or waves once they're dry. Scrunch or finger-comb instead.
- Dry with a microfibre towel or an old cotton T-shirt instead of rubbing with a terry towel.
- Finish a blow-dry with the cool button.
- Keep a capsule in your bag for a quick touch-up on flyaways in the afternoon.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my hair frizz more in Lebanon in summer?
Summer on the Lebanese coast brings humid air, strong sun and sea salt. Humidity swells the hair, and sun and salt dry it out, so the cuticle lifts and frizz shows up more. A leave-in serum on damp hair, and less heat styling, help.
Should I put serum on wet or dry hair for humidity?
Damp is best, because it seals in moisture before the air gets to your hair. A little on dry hair works for touch-ups during the day.
Will a serum make my hair greasy in the heat?
Not if you use one capsule and keep it off your roots. Each capsule is a single measured dose, so it's hard to overdo.
