Want to keep frizz at bay this summer? The best way is with a professional anti-frizz treatment; one that defies the biggest culprit behind hard-to-tame vacation hair: humidity. SmoothFiller is an in-salon service that gives you up to 4 months of quicker, easier styling and more manageable hair every day. So, whether you’re strutting the streets of Rome on a sun-soaked city break or dreaming of beachy waves on a tropical getaway, your hair stays smooth and manageable, no matter how hot it gets.
In this article, we’re exploring why humidity-induced frizz happens, how you can smooth it with SmoothFiller, and all the summer hair benefits that follow. Think: a lighter suitcase, sunset-ready styles that last, and hair that’s as carefree as your vacation…
Why is My Hair So Frizzy in Summer?
Here’s why your hair might be frizzy in summer: Hot weather can serve up a serious dose of humidity, meaning there may be more moisture in the air than during spring or fall. If your hair is highly porous – which means there are gaps and tears along the hair cuticle – it's more likely to absorb this moisture from the air, resulting in a frizzy look. So, even after spending an hour with your styling tools, sundown cocktails can quickly undo all your hard work. It’s the ultimate vacation hair vs. reality scenario.
But humidity isn't the only reason you want extra frizz control in summer. First up, when it's hot, many of us strive to skip sweaty styling sessions in the hotel room. And who wants to pack their whole hair care kit in their suitcase? Just think of the sky-high baggage fees.
Plus, imagine yourself when you're on the beach and your hair is damp from the ocean. You don’t have the time (or desire) to style it in your hotel room, so you’re left hoping it air-dries into a surfer-girl wave. This is when a long-lasting frizz solution can make all the difference.
So, How Do I Smooth Frizzy Hair in Summer?
If you want to smooth frizzy hair in summer, we’ve got you. At Wella Professionals, we know the summer frizz struggle is real, which is one of the reasons we developed SmoothFiller: a new in-salon service for longer-lasting frizz control. You'll love it because it gives you:
● Up to 4 months of more manageable hair with reduced frizz;
● Anti-humidity benefits that help keep flyaways in check;
● Faster, easier styling – with or without hot tools;
● Cumulative results, so frizzy hair becomes more manageable over time;
● The carefree summer hair you always dreamed of – and the streamlined luggage to match.
How Does Smoothfiller Work?
As you now know, humidity-induced frizz through summer is usually caused by gaps and tears along the hair shaft. Moisture from the humid air gets into these gaps and causes hard-to-tame, frizzy hair. Smoothfiller works to refill these gaps with a Smart Delivery System, which ensures the active smoothing ingredient penetrates the hair cuticles and goes into the cortex. Once there, this ingredient refills and restructures the hair fiber from the inside out, building more bonds inside the hair. The result? Less frizz and a more manageable mane that's quicker and easier to style – no matter the weather.
What Happens During a Smoothfiller Service?
Ready to book your first SmoothFiller service? Head to your nearest Wella hair salon for a three-step treatment that sets you up for a summer of smoother hair...
Step 1: Preparation
First, your Wella stylist will wash your hair to ensure it’s clean and prepared to absorb the treatment. Then, they’ll blow-dry your hair until it’s around 80% dry. Hair needs to be slightly damp in order for the smoothing treatment to penetrate.
Step 2: Application
Next, SmoothFiller is applied. Your stylist will apply the solution evenly through your hair (avoiding the scalp) and then allow it to develop for 20 minutes. Once developed, your hair is thoroughly rinsed. During the development time, the product penetrates inside the hair, then any residue is removed by rinsing.
Step 3: Activation
After the treatment has been rinsed out entirely, your stylist will blow-dry your hair until it’s completely dry. They’ll then flat iron your hair in small sections with multiple passes until every strand has been smoothed out. The heat activates SmoothFiller’s ingredient to unlock the smoothing results. And just like that, your Smoothfiller service is complete.
I Want Frizz Control All Summer. When Should I Book My Service?
The anti-frizz results of SmoothFiller last for up to 4 months, so keep this timeline in mind when you're deciding when to book your service. You may want to get ahead of the summer heat with a May appointment, or head to your nearest Wella salon just before your next far-flung vacation. It's also worth remembering that the results of Smoothfiller are cumulative, so you can top up the service throughout the season for smooth hair that gets better and better.
How Do I Care for My Hair After a Smoothfiller Service?
Get ready for a summer of carefree styling, because Smoothfiller has no post-service restrictions. Unlike many other hair smoothing treatments, you can wash your hair as soon as you like, and with any shampoo formula you choose. So, no matter if you use a shampoo for color-treated hair, one that boosts volume, or a wash designed to dial up shine, your regimen will be as effortless as your summer style.
