There are many things to be thankful for when you live in a tropical climate – sunshine all year round, a dizzying array of fresh produce… frizzy hair, however, is not one of them. Frizz occurs when your hair is dry and lacking natural oils, making it more susceptible to the moisture in humid air. But our high humidity isn’t the only cause of frizz – many of us simply don’t pay enough attention to our hair. In fact, according to Angeline Tan, creative director of FDP Prestige Hair Care, “out of every 10 Singaporean women, six to seven of them do not take good enough care of their tresses.” Angeline elaborates, “Frizz is caused by several factors such as heat styling, and not keeping up with treatments or deep cleansing, purifying and rebalancing shampoos that are catered to the scalp. Some people, on the other hand, are born with naturally frizzy hair.

This usually applies to women who have wavy or curly hair.” Whatever the reason for your frizzy locks, hope has arrived in the form of FDP Anti-Frizz and Anti-Ageing Argan Oil Treatment. Rich in vitamins A and E, the use of argan oil, commonly hailed as “liquid gold”, expedites natural keratin production and seals in moisture. Free of formaldehyde, silicone and parabens, but chockfull of nourishing ingredients like protein, meadowfoam oil and amino acids, the treatment claims to offer 78 percent hydration, 62 percent elasticity and 91 percent repair. There are three treatment styles available, depending on the root of your frizzy woes. FDP Natural Soft is for those with naturally fine, thin or limp hair prone to flyaways and frizz, helping to repair your hair without weighing it down.

If you’re constantly experimenting with chemical processes and treatments, FDP Cosme Touch can be customised depending on the condition of your hair and your desired fi nal look. For those with thick and coarse hair that has a mind of its own, FDP Super Sleek will give you a sleek, straight fi nish similar to rebonding, but with a more natural eff ect. With results that last for three to six months, depending on the level of damage and your post-treatment maintenance, you can fight frizz, protect your hair from styling damage and keep it shiny and silky – and finally embrace life in the tropics
