One of the only true benefits of winter that I can think of is how kind the cold weather is to your hair.  The lack of humidity makes it easy to control frizz and styling hair takes less time and effort. 

As summer approaches with its heat and humidity, it is important to consider a strategy for dealing with frizz. Here are some tips:

If your hair is very curly, consider using two to three times more conditioner and styling product to weight down your curls. Always start with dripping wet hair. If this does not produce the desired result, consider adding a third styling product to wet hair. A mousse with gel or gel and a cream or even pomade with gel could work well.  Just remember to layer your leave in conditioner first on dripping wet hair.

If your hair is fine and curly, you will need to deep condition it more often to control frizz. If your hair seems unruly, apply a mask for 20 minutes two to three times a week.  A leave-in conditioner applied under styling product will also help to tame frizz. 

If your hair is wavy, you are in luck.  Summer heat is kind to hair that has been limp and lifeless all winter.  A mousse applied to wet hair should be all you need for styling.  If some frizz is an issue, use a leave-in conditioner before applying a styling product.

So enjoy summer, and your beautiful hair!
