How to Fix Common Hair Problems: Frizz, Split Ends & Dryness

Your Westshore Haircare Survival Guide – Brought to You by Cabello Salon

Let’s be real—West Coast weather + busy lifestyles = a hair disaster waiting to happen. At Cabello Salon, we see it all the time: frizz after a foggy walk in Goldstream, split ends from flat irons, or dryness caused by chilly Langford winters.

The good news? These issues are totally fixable—with the right tips, a few pro-quality products, and the expert stylists here at Cabello.

🌬️ 1. Frizz: That West Coast Humidity Struggle

The Problem:

Your hair gets puffy, frizzy, or undefined—especially after being out by Langford Lake or in the misty air around Goldstream Park.

The Fix:

  • Use a moisturizing, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner.

  • Lock in smoothness with a leave-in serum or anti-humidity spray.

  • Ditch the terry cloth—use a soft t-shirt or microfiber towel to dry.

🔹 Recommended Products:

  • Kevin Murphy Smooth.Again – A leave-in smoothing treatment with heat protection

  • Bumble and bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Heat/UV Protective Primer – Frizz-control and softness in a spray

Local Tip:

Humidity creeps in year-round—especially in spring and fall. Drop by Cabello for a seasonal hair check-up and product match, just minutes from Belmont Market or Station Avenue.

✂️ 2. Split Ends: Snagged Strands & Stressed Tips

The Problem:

Fraying ends, brittle texture, and breakage—often made worse by heat tools and skipping trims (we get it, life gets busy!).

The Fix:

  • Trim every 8–10 weeks—even a light dusting helps.

  • Use a bond-strengthening treatment or mask weekly.

  • Always apply heat protectant before styling.

  • Book our Quick Trim + Treat service—ideal for keeping hair healthy between big cuts.

🔹 Recommended Products:

  • Kevin Murphy Leave-In.Repair – A lightweight, reconstructing treatment to repair damage

  • Bumble and bumble Save the Day Daytime Protective Repair Fluid – Repairs while protecting from UV

Local Tip:

If you’re heading out near Westshore Town Centre or grabbing groceries in Colwood Corners, swing by for a quick refresh and take-home care kit.

💧 3. Dryness: When Your Hair Feels Like Straw

The Problem:

Dull, rough, or brittle hair—especially after colouring or during colder months in Thetis Heights and Florence Lake.

The Fix:

  • Switch to hydrating shampoo and conditioner formulas.

  • Add a hydrating mask into your routine weekly.

  • Use lightweight hair oils or creams daily on mid-lengths to ends.

  • Avoid over-washing—every 2–3 days is ideal for most hair types.

🔹 Recommended Products:

  • Kevin Murphy Hydrate-Me.Wash & Hydrate-Me.Rinse – Intense moisture for dry hair

  • Bumble and bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Mask – Ultra-nourishing for thirsty strands

Local Tip:

Dry hair is common here, especially after windy walks on Bear Mountain trails or chilly evenings near Royal Bay. Book our Gloss treatment to restore softness and shine.
