In
a perfect world, all hair types would be created equal, no coif would suffer a
kink and seasonal humidity fluctuations would be no more. But, since we don't
live in the perfect world of darling 'dos and moisture-free air, when humidity
is at its worst, it's hard to look your best.And, while the nature of the humidity
game means some days you might just have to wing it, and accept your hair as it
is, we've got some tips and products to reduce the frizz and beat the humid heat.
 A
preemptive strike is best in the battle to save your hair. Avoid going from perfectly
coifed to unfortunately frizzy by locking in moisture even before you step outside.
Indulge in a deep conditioning treatment, such as the Kérastase Deep Conditioning
treatment (available at salons carrying Kérastase products) to prepare your locks
for humid conditions. And if you can't make it to the salon, opt for an at-home
deep conditioner like the Yes to Carrots C is for Hair Care Hair and Scalp Moisturizing
Mud Mask ($13 at Walgreens.com).
Control
Your Frizz... We've been admiring the luscious
locks of our favorite celebs for years and celebrity summer style is the most
desirable of them all. From the enviable locks of Kristen Bell to the sleek stylings
of Michelle Trachtenberg, we've rounded up the top products that make sexy summer
hair oh-so-attainable.  When
it comes to summer hair, protection comes first and foremost. You'll likely be
spending a lot of time in the sun and hair that isn't protected can get brittle
and dry, encouraging breakage and damage. Lisa Rowell, Creative Director of the
Vidal Sassoon Salon in Chicago, advises that being over-protected from harmful
UVA and UVB Rays is far better than leaving the beach bronzed, but bushy-tailed.
"The biggest thing," she says, "is to protect your hair against summer damage."
Sexy
Summer Style... Damaged, dry locks are the bane
of women everywhere. While cutting split ends is key to achieving the smooth and
bouncy hair you desire, there are a bevy of products, from serums to shampoos
that can save damaged hair.  We
put our own heads on the line, testing and trying over fifty products from moisturizing
shampoos to deep conditioning treatments to scalp scrubs and beyond. Plus, Nick
Arrojo, owner of Arrojo Studio in Manhattan and hair stylist on TLC's What Not
To Wear, shares his tips on getting gorgeous locks.
Split Ends Arrojo
confirms what we all fear about split ends, "Other than a cut there is no out
and out cure for split ends." Bear in mind that a true end cut, where only the
ends of the hair are sheared, can be done effectively while taking as little as
a half an inch off your length. Consistency is key so to keep your 'do healthy,
you'll need to cut off dead ends every 6 to 8 weeks.
