Dreaming of having well-behaved hair, even on humid days? All you need is the right anti-frizz treatment routine! Meet the new LOVE Smoothing.
If you dread rainy days because they end in frizzy, unruly hair, just know you're not alone. Most people will deal with frizziness at some point — aside from the hair’s natural tendency to occasionally get coarse; frizziness can also happen when hair is dehydrated and brittle.
Why does hair get frizzy?
Why does humidity make hair frizzy? The external layer of the hair is known as the cuticle, which is exposed to mechanical and chemical stress (ex., the use of heat tools or treatments), as well as the changes in the weather.
The cuticle is composed of overlapping scales that can open due to these external stressors due to 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 fiber 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. While the right hair routine won't drastically change the hair’s structure, it can improve and help control it, making it look healthy and well cared for.
"The new additions to our LOVE Smoothing family are my go-to's for fighting frizz.

Then a few pumps of Smoothing Perfector before a blowout is my recipe for a silky, frizz-free finish in no time!" —Dana Sova, Davines National Master Trainer

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