I don't know about where you live, but here in NYC it has been a humid, rainy couple of weeks. Now in comparison to the polar vortex we experienced this winter I will take this weather over that any day, but my hair may beg to differ. Those of you struggling with that rainy day frizz and disobedience, check out some tips below that may get you through the day with out absolutely wanting to cut all of your hair off.
Heat Protector- I have said it once, I will say it a million times, a heat protectant is the way to go. Use a cream or spray on damp hair and distribute evenly. This not only helps to protect your hair against curling and flat iron heat but also the heat and humidity outside.
Don't Skimp Your Blowdry- Make sure your hair is completely and utterly bone dry before leaving the house. Any dampness left in your hair will instantly be a magnet for frizz once stepping outside.
Anti Frizz Serum- Duh! Once your hair is styled rub an anti frizz serum on to your midshaft and ends. This will also help to give your hair some extra shine.
Give Yourself Some Time- After your done blowdrying and styling, give your self 5 minutes before running out the door. This will allow the hair to cool and set, sealing the cuticle and blocking the humidity from getting to the hair so easily. It will also allow that serum you just used to have a chance to dry in to your hair, IE rule number 2 above.
No Touching- Do not do not do not touch your hair. The oils from your finger tips will get in to the hair and can cause extra frizz. No matter how much you may want to grab those locks, fight the urge for longer lasting style.
EFF It- The last and most important rule of rainy day hair is to know when to say "F#$K it!" There are going to be those days that no matter how many tips or tricks you try, your hair is just not going to listen. You think you will be the only one out there making themselves late for work by trying to salvage their frizzy mess of a mane???? NO! Everyone knows and understands the struggle, and on these specific days, opt for a braid or up-do and just say EFF IT.
