Like our skin, our hair goes through phases. Weather conditions, hair products, our lifestyle and hormonal changes can take a toll on our hair, leaving it dry, frizzy and brittle.
With Hong Kong humidity at its all-time high, the humid environment can take us from a good hair day to a bad hair day real quick. We're talking about frizzy tresses, which are caused by opened cuticles that allow moisture in the air to penetrate the hair shaft.
To help you battle against the hair's worst enemy, we've asked Hong Kong's top hairdressers for practical hair care tips to keep smooth, healthy-looking hair all summer long.
Invest in an In-salon treatment
Hair care is just like skincare—there's plenty of skincare products that work incredibly well to help us maintain healthy skin at home, but nothing quite compares to a facial treatment with an aesthetician. When it comes to dealing with hair issues, sometimes it's best to leave them to a hair professional.
"The OMG Treatment is SHHHH's secret recipe comprising a high concentration of potent ingredients such as plant stem cells, ginseng extract, collagen, amino acids and keratin—which are also used in the OMG hair care line, selected specifically to transform dull, damaged hair into bouncy, gorgeous locks," says Marvin Lin, founder and creative director of SHHHH. "After the treatment, clients can prolong the benefits of the treatment with OMG hair products, which are designed to give you that in-salon glow from the comfort of your home," she adds.
Seal Your Strands With a Serum
Forget about hair oil—hair serum is your best weapon against humidity. "The OMG 'Ready to Glow Leave-In Treatment' is an award-winning product with anti-UV properties to protect your hair from heat, UV and oxidative damage. Simply apply it on towel-dried or blow dried hair for the best results," says Marvin.
Hair serums are typically used as styling products to add shine and smooth hair, especially on hot summer days in Hong Kong. "BruneBlonde's 'Coco Blush serum' adds a protective layer to the hair—just a small amount on the mid-lengths and ends of your hair will give a sleek and shiny finish," says David.
Massage your scalp
The health of the scalp is crucial to the health of the hair. Regular scalp massages help to increase blood circulation to the hair follicles, creating a healthy environment for hair growth.
"Using your fingertips, gently massage your scalp from the hairline to the back of your head for 5 to 20 minutes every day. This is best performed with OMG Scalp Shampoo and Conditioner, which are designed to cleanse and restore the scalp's water-oil balance," says Marvin. Say goodbye to greasy hair!

Hair Shedding vs Hair Breakage
Distinguishing between hair shedding and hair breakage is essential, because a scalp routine and a conditioning treatment do completely different jobs. While shedding releases a hair from the follicle—often showing full-length strands with a small club end—breakage happens along the hair shaft, leaving behind uneven fragments and frayed ends. In Hong Kong, environmental stress, chemical treatments, and lifestyle changes can lead to both simultaneously, making a targeted approach key to hair longevity.
