10 Mar, 2025

Protect Your Hair from Wind and Rain (Especially After a Cyclone!)

Parts of Queensland just got hit with some wild weather—cyclonic winds, heavy rain, and humidity that won’t quit. And while we’ve all been focused on staying dry and safe, your hair has probably taken a beating too. Frizz, tangles, dryness—sound familiar?

Whether you were caught in the storm or just dealing with the lingering humidity, it’s time to give your hair some love. Here’s how to protect your locks from unpredictable weather and keep them smooth, strong, and frizz-free, no matter what Mother Nature throws our way.

    After a wild weather week, your hair deserves some extra love. The good news? With the right products, you can fight frizz, smooth out knots, and keep your locks looking their best—no matter what the weather does next. 🌬️🌧️
