Top 4 Tricks for Making Great Spring Hair!

"Spring with its varying elements & issues can be especially rough on your hair! Check out our tips for great hair all season long."

The Issue: Humidity
Spring’s sudden burst of warm humid weather can make even the fullest hair flat and resistant to your normal fabulous styling. No matter what texture your hair has naturally, this isn’t the season to force your lock into an unnatural style. 

If your hair is curly, find a go to look that incorporates your curls. If your hair is straight but tends to curl up in humid weather, incorporate loose, light curls into your style. Pony tails and messy updo styles can be your best friend this time of year. Consider applying a humidity-resistant product like Big Sexy Hair Humidity Resistant Spray or Got2b Instant Tolerance Anti-Humidity Smoothing Spray to towel-dried hair for added humidity protection.

The Issue: Wind
Rough winds will shake the most perfectly coiffed hair around and create some massive flyaways! Windy gusts grab at split ends and create the static-y look, and damaged or naturally coarse hair has it worse because they have rougher hair cuticles, giving the breeze something to hold onto.

Windy times call for hair accessories: headbands, ponytails and clips are a must. Also try products specially formulated for blustery days like Redken Glass 01 Smoothing Serum which tames and smoothes unruly tresses while conditioning frazzled ends.

The Issue: Moisture
April showers bring more than May flowers – they also add constantly changing moisture levels in the air. The problem? Frizz is caused by hair trying to soak in moisture from the air, so chances are you’ll end up with a frizz problem at some point during springtime shifts in the weather.

Try leaving your blow dryer on the shelf and gently blot hair dry with a towel instead – but don’t rub. Rubbing hair dry can cause further breakage on already weak strands, increasing your chances of frizz. After you've towel-blotted, apply an anti-frizz serum like Sexy Straight Smooth & Seal Anti Frizz Spray to your damp hair and comb it through so the product is distributed evenly. 

The Issue: Heat
Spring’s warming weather can be a cleverly disguised cause of hair havoc. Why? Hot air opens the hair cuticle, which leads to split ends, breakage, and duller hair color. Plus, most hair products make your head feel like an oil slick when exposed to hot weather.

Ever wonder why your hair dryer has a "cool setting", this is why! Try using it near the end of your blow out session. Cold air closes the hair cuticle and seals in the moisture. Also consider trying a weather-friendly product like CHI Pliable Polish - Weightless Styling Paste, a weightless styling paste hair serum that protects hair from the elements and helps you hold some style without leaving a greasy residue.
