Outsmart Rainy Day Frizz!

Bad weather doesn’t have to mean a bad hair day! Follow these easy tips to prepare yourself for what Mother Nature might throw at you (and your hair!) :

-Apply a frizz-fighting serum to towel-dried hair. Use a wide tooth comb to evenly distribute.
-Blow hair dry using a large round brush (like this one, $12.99)- this smooths the cuticle from root to tip.
-Straighten one inch sections of hair to make your locks more resilient against humidity.
-Use a headband or pull hair into a low bun for the commute. This prevents your hair from getting windblown on the way to your destination.
-When you get indoors, let your hair down and admire your soft, shiny style!
