5 Essential Hair Care Tips for Orlando’s Climate

This is how to survive the weather in Orlando, and it begins with strategy. These are some tips based on the industry experts and customized to fit Central Florida, to enable your hair to flourish all year long. Our hair salon can help you fight humidity and keep your hair smooth.

1. Embrace Anti-Frizz Products

The humidity is fond of blowing up hair, and the appropriate products can protect you. Find silicone (such as dimethicone) or natural oils (argan, coconut) serums or creams to keep the moisture out. Anti-Humidity Spray by Oribe, which was popular in Bonne Vie, forms an invisible protective coating that prevents curls or straight hair from being frizzy. Rub a dime-sized amount on wet hair prior to styling, and rub slightly on dry hair when it rains to give it additional protection.

Hack: Never use heavy gels during the summer months–they retain moisture and become sticky. Choose light mousses when curling or straightening hair, volumizing sprays

2. Invest in Protective Treatments

Orlando weather requires more than speedy shampoo. Solutions such as Keratin, Hair Botox, etc. will be a game changer, using them will make the cuticles look smoother and add shine that will last weeks. Keratin removes up to 90 percent of frizz in 2-3 months, ideal to make it through hurricane season. Hair Botox is a lighter version, which hydrates and restores without changing texture—perfect for natural curls. Bonne Vie stylists work on a high-quality formula, which lasts the sweaty day in Epcot.

Cost Insight: Keratin will cost $150-300 in the best salons, and Hair Botox costs $100. Worth the money when your hair remains perfect even in the rain.

3. Master Humidity-Proof Styling

Your hair-dressing schedule should be able to defeat the weather. In the case of curly hair, Ouidad’s carve-and-slice method (available at Bonne Vie) adds natural patterns and does not shrink. Straight hair? Dry the hair using a round brush and spray a cool shot to fix the hair. In humid weather, high ponytails are not as good as loose braids or low buns (updos), especially during wedding ceremonies or even a date on Park Avenue.

Event Hack: Heading to Disney? Request your stylist to do an updo with hair gems and humidity-resistant hair to look a bit extra.

4. Protect Your Color

The sun and humidity of Orlando are color kryptonite. Apply sulfate-free shampoos (Davines is another Bonne vie staple) to maintain color, and apply a UV-protectant spray on pool days. To achieve bright colors such as copper red or honey blonde, which will be on trend in 2025, you can only book regular gloss treatments due to the price, such as $50-80, to refresh the shine without involving a full color session.

5. Hydrate and Repair

Humidity puts pressure on hair, making it split and break. Deep-conditioning masks (such as the Intense Hydrating Mask by Moroccan Oil) can be applied once a week to replenish moisture, and bonding treatments such as Olaplex can be used to repair heat-styling damage. Bonne Vie also sells Olaplex extensions ($50) that fortify the strands of the hair, rendering it strong enough against the weather in Orlando.

Seasonal Hair Care: Navigating Orlando’s Weather Patterns

The seasons in Orlando are not about being hot and hotter, but have their own challenges with hair. These are the ways to adjust, as the team of Bonne Vie has learned.

• Summer (June-August): UV rays are unrelenting, and the humidity is high (80-90). Book a keratin treatment in May to prep and clarify with a shampoo at least once a week to get the accumulated sweat and sunscreen. Textured cuts, such as the jawline bob, are short and require less maintenance.
• Old Fashioned (June-November): Rainfall may spoil a blowout. Instead, wear loose waves or cropped curls that are open to moisture and an anti-frizz serum (travel size). The stylists of Bonne Vie suggest that braids be worn to a festival such as the Electric Daisy Carnival.
• Winter (December-February): Static is caused by dry spells (humidity goes down to 60%. Replace regular shampoos with water-boosting shampoos and a mask every week. When it comes to holiday parties, Bonne Vie can be used with a glossy texture of expensive brunette, and it looks excellent.
• Spring (March-May): It is light and humid; therefore, there is a need for light products. The space is kept cool by a pixie or three tiers of layers that are suitable for having outdoor brunches at Park Avenue.
