Hate All That Frizz?
Even though Marc Jacobs and co. tried to tell us that frizz is where it’s at, let’s face it, in the real word, looking frizzbombtastic isn’t really going to work. And while humidity can be great for keeping skin soft and supple, it’s the last thing we want for our hair. But never fear, there are a few tricks you can use to beat it at its own game . . .
Go natural
If your hair is curly or wavy, this is the time to let your texture do its thing. Use plenty of conditioner to keep hair hydrated, and apply a curl defining cream before you blow-dry.
Good old-fashioned hairspray
You may not be a big fan of extra hold hairspray on a day-to-day basis, but when it comes to humidity, this standby will keep the frizz down and your hair in place. Instead of giving yourself a heavy spray ’80s-style, give your whole head a single, light spritz.
Use an anti-humectant
If you have major humidity issues, products that repel moisture can be a total lifesaver. Something like Aveda Brilliant Anti-Humectant Pomade ($44.95) will keep your hair soft and moisturised and get rid of frizz, too.
Leave your hair a little damp
Over-drying can result in frizz, so be sure to step away from the hair dryer before the hair is completely dry.
Rinse your hair with cold, cold water
Right before you get out of the shower, blast your strands with the coldest water you can stand. This step will help seal the cuticle, helping to put frizz in its place.
