Frizzy Hair You no doubt can relate to this scenario: You blow-dry your hair, only to have it go haywire as soon as you step out into the heat. "Summer hair frizz is a constant battle, particularly in humid climates," says Jonathan Elkhouri, master stylist and owner of Salon Khouri in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. "Always be sure to use products formulated for smoothing." Elkhouri is a fan of Kevin Murphy Smooth Again, $34.16, an anti-frizz treatment meant to be applied to towel-dried hair before styling.
Speaking of towel-dried hair, Elkhouri says you shouldn't rub your towel over your wet hair, because that can exacerbate frizz. "Instead, wrap in an absorbent microfiber towel, then blow-dry using good, smoothing products," he says. To avoid summer frizz, it's best to keep your hair as hydrated as possible, says Stephen Donovan, lead stylist and colorist at Bentley Hair and Beauty in Chicago. He likes Shu Uemura Essence Absolue, $69, which you can use as a treatment overnight or as a finishing touch after blow-drying. When you're blow-drying, finish with a blast of cool air to set your hair and fight frizz, suggests Donovan.
