Humidity Playbook: Dew Point Tactics — Pro Tips #2

Humidity Playbook: Dew Point Tactics — Pro Tips #2. We’ll cut through hype and show you what reliably moves the needle.

The core idea: fewer, better steps. Cleanse the scalp well, condition until slip, style on soaking-wet hair, then hands-off until dry.

Steps

1. Apply leave-in on soaking-wet hair
2. Cleanse the scalp; avoid roughing up lengths
3. Detangle with water + conditioner in sections
4. Soak thoroughly before applying anything
5. Layer gel/foam; rake then scrunch

Toolkit

• Wide-tooth comb or flexible brush
• Chelating/clarifying shampoo (as needed)
• Hard-hold gel or mousse for humidity
• Deep conditioner/mask (monthly)
• Satin/silk pillowcase or bonnet
• Microfiber towel or T-shirt

“Hands-off until fully dry is half the battle.”

Example

For high humidity: leave-in + hard-hold gel, then hover-diffuse to 60% and finish with cup-and-hold. Don’t break the cast early.

Execution angle: one tweak at a time for 2–3 wash days; track results briefly so patterns become obvious.
