Got
a Hair Crisis? We've got the Answer
While springtime brings beautifully bloomed gardens and warmer temperatures, it’s also the season when frizzy hair and flyaways are rampant. Here's some simple steps, and products, to help you on your way to fighting September hair how to fight September hair madness.
Humidity: Spring’s influx of humid weather leaves hair flat and squelches even the most zealous efforts at styling. No matter what natural texture your hair has, this isn’t the time of year to force your tresses into an unnatural style. If your hair is curly, find a ‘do that embraces your curls. If your hair is straight but tends to curl up in humid weather, incorporate loose, light curls into your style.
Wind: Rough winds 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.
 Moisture: September showers 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. If you find that blowdrying makes your hair look frizzier, gently blot it 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 or hair gel to your damp hair and comb it through so the product is distributed evenly.
Heat: Spring’s refreshingly temperate 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. To beat the heat, give your hair a blast of cool air using the “cool” setting on your hair dryer when you’re almost done blow-drying. Cold air closes the hair cuticle and seals in the moisture.
When all else fails, you can fake-it with some great products. Here are our favourite products for acheiving sleek, friz free, voluminous or perfectly curly hair.
