Rain, rain, rain

  All this rain making you feel like you look like this?  

Well, I doubt it's that bad, but here are a few suggestions to help you tame hair that gets a little frizzy in this weather.

1. Use an anti-humidity product before blowdrying your hair.  AVEDA'S Style-prep Smoother is one of my favorites.  Make sure you dry your hair completely!

2. Wear your hair curly if you can.  The rain will actually bring out the curl in your hair if  you have any, so just embrace it!  Use a gel or curl creme to help hold the curls. Try twisting sections of your hair around your fingers into the shape of the curl to form a smooth curl.  You can use a diffuser or just let it air dry.  If your hair is straight, try tips 1, 3, 4, and 5.

    

3. Carry some pommade or a finishing cream with you.  When you get to work or where you need to be, use a small amount to get rid of those fly-aways.  Try KEVIN MURPHY'S Anti-frizz Creme or AVEDA's Texturizing Creme.  

4. Wear a headband.  Just pulling back some of the hair off your face will help keep the hair from looking too wild, while still looking styled. 

    

5. When all else fails, pull it back.  I realize this will only work if your hair is shoulder length or longer.  The headband spices up a regular bun.

If you have short hair, try just the headband trick.

6. Stay inside :) Take a sick day for your hair.  Ok, not really.  If we all did that, the state of Washington would never have anyone go to work.  Carry an umbrella and try not to touch your hair too much.

You will be surprised at how many complements you get when you change up your style even slightly.  Smile at the rain :)
