It’s summertime and for some people in certain parts of the world, that means hot, humid days. And for the most part hair and humidity don’t usually work together. There are many products that do try to fight humidity, but at the end of the day, your hair can only take so much of hair care products and styling tools before it gets damaged. I always recommend wearing your hair curly in humid days. I also think that natural curls go really well in the summertime. No matter how hot it can get, genetics and environment always win and a natural curl is the best way to go. For more info on curls visit www.curlista.com. They are a great website for “chasing the perfect curl.”Now I know not everybody is going to wear their hair curly, so if straight is still what you want, try these steps to fight humidity:

1. Shampoo and condition your hair like you usually do.
2. After you towel dry your hair, apply a silicone serum to your hair. Look at my past blog to see which silicone serums are the best for our hair.
3. Apply a styling lotion or spray gel. Not too much, some products cause flaking.
4. Blow-dry your hair and then go over it with a flat iron.
5. Smooth over the ends with a pomade. This will help keep the ends intact.
6. Finish with a very light application of medium hold hair spray, preferably aerosol.

Your hair should be looking fab after this!
