Survival Tip No. 3: Give your hair a break
Try applying plenty of leave-in, then putting your hair in a French Twist or ballerina bun like Uma Thurman's. And Tomich says if your hair is already feeling the heat, definitely stay away from the styling tools. "Less is more. The less heat and stress your hair is under, the better," she says.
For all that's great about summer -- the travel, the sun, the pool parties, the excuse to knock back drinks with umbrellas -- there is one major downside for most of us. When the heat and humidity pick up, our hair either turns into a giant, frizzy orb or a limp, greasy mess. Either way, not pretty.
But summer 2013 is going to be different. This year we've got a few genius tips to keep our hairstyles intact no matter what the weather is like where you live or where you're vacationing. So before you hop on a plane (or leave your air-conditioned bathroom), check out our expert advice for curls that stay curly, and blowouts that don't fall flat.
And because we know the weather can be so bad (think: summer storms or temps above 100) that no curling iron technique or finishing spray holds up, we're arming you with a few foolproof braids and updos as backup hairstyles for frizzy hair. Instead of the requisite feet-in-sand or extreme-closeup-margarita vacation shots, may we suggest a collage of your perfect beach waves and fetching fishtail instead? With our collection of hair tips, we guarantee your summer 2013 hairstyle will make your 'do Instagram-worthy.
