Battling Humidity this Sydney Summer? yes, we need North Shore Hair Tips!

Is the Sydney summer humidity playing havoc with your hair? Discover the marine-based power of Revlon Professional Eksperience. Our hair experts share three must-have products to help you maintain smooth, hydrated hair and keep the frizz under control during the hottest months on the North Shore of Sydney.

Stay cool and look flawless in the Neutral Bay humidity. If you live on the North Shore, you know that a Sydney summer is a dual battle: the scorching dry heat and that relentless coastal humidity that turns a fresh blowout into a "frizz-fest" by lunch.

At our Sydney salons, we’ve been testing the ultimate solution to keep your hair smooth, hydrated, and disciplined: the Revlon Professional Eksperience™ range.

Born from Thalassotherapy (marine-based therapy), this range uses the power of the ocean, specifically the Aquamaris Complex, to treat your hair at a molecular level. Here are the three must-have Eksperience products for every Sydney woman this summer.

1. Eksperience™ Wave Remedy: The Humidity Shield

Sydney’s humidity levels often spike above 70%, which causes the hair cuticle to swell and frizz. The Wave Remedy Anti-Frizz Hair Cleanser and Mask are specifically designed for rebellious hair.

  • Why it works: It is formulated with Undaria Pinnatifida (Wakame algae) and Fucus Vesiculosus. These marine extracts create a weightless film around the hair shaft, acting like a "raincoat" that prevents moisture from the air from entering and disrupting your style.

  • The Result: Defined, smooth hair that stays sleek even when you’re walking down Military Road in mid-January!

2. Eksperience™ Hydro Nutritive: The Deep Hydrator

The Australian sun can be incredibly drying, stripping the natural oils and proteins from your hair. The Hydro Nutritive Hydrating Mask is the intensive "drink of water" your hair is craving.

  • Why it works: This mask is packed with Earth Marine Water and Polyquaternium-10. It replenishes lost minerals and seals the cuticle. Unlike heavy oils that can make your hair limp in the heat, this marine-based formula provides deep nourishment without the weight.

  • The Result: Silky-soft hair looks like it reflects the light (oh hello, summer shine!) and feels resilient against sun damage.

3. Eksperience™ Boost Anti-Frizz Booster: The Professional Secret

For those truly "unruly" days, we recommend the Boost Anti-Frizz Booster Dose. This is a concentrated professional treatment we use in-salon, but you can maintain the effects with the at-home boosters.

  • Why it works: In clinical tests, this product showed significant curl retention and anti-frizz properties even after 4 hours in 80% humidity. It uses Apricot and Sweet Almond oils to discipline the hair fibre while the marine ingredients strengthen the core.

  • The Result: Total control. It is the difference between a "good hair day" and a "perfect hair day" that lasts from your morning coffee in Neutral Bay to sunset drinks at Barangaroo!

Real Advice for the North Shore Summer

Beyond using the right products, here are three tips our stylists swear by for managing Sydney’s climate:

  1. The Cool Rinse: Always finish your shower with a 30-second blast of cool water. This helps the Eksperience ingredients "lock in" by closing the hair cuticle, making it harder for humidity to penetrate.

  2. Pre-Swim Protection: Before jumping into the Harbour or a pool, soak your hair with fresh tap water and apply a small amount of the Eksperience Hydro Nutritive Mist. Your hair is like a sponge; if it is already full of clean water and nutrients, it won't absorb as much salt or chlorine.

  3. Low-Heat Styling: On high-humidity days, try to air-dry your hair to 80% before using a hair dryer on a medium setting. Excessive heat can sensitise the hair, making it even more reactive to the damp air outside.
