If your hair seems to have a mind of its own, take some lessons from the pros. With stylist tips, it’s possible to beat the New Orleans heat this summer and keep locks looking beautiful. It’s even possible to tame those unruly frizzies that happen in humid conditions.
Skip the Heat
Styling implements can wreak havoc on tresses, even in the best of weather conditions. When mercury and humidity levels are high, leave the blow dryer, curling iron, and flat iron unplugged, and try some different styling techniques. For people that can’t resist the blow dryer, use it on a cool air setting instead of hot air. When the curling iron is a must, first apply a silicone serum to strands to combat frizz.
Don’t Touch
The more people touch their locks during hot weather, the more hair will respond with frizziness. Instead, the savvy stylist recommends you avoid touching your hair whenever possible.
Products to Try
A number of hair care products can make tresses more manageable. Coat hands with a tiny dollop of pomade and apply the pomade to locks evenly. The pomade controls stray flyaways and keeps everything in check.
For frizz emergencies, tuck a dryer sheet into a purse pocket. Simply swipe it over tresses to calm unruliness. Stay away from volumizing products during steamy summers. Hair has enough flyaway volume without adding to it with special shampoos and conditioners.
A professional stylist can provide even more personalized advice about products and services that will enhance your hair. With a little experimentation, women can find their own unique style, even on the hottest days.
