Tame the Summer Flyaways

 Posted by REFLECTIONS OF YOU Fairfax

Hot summer days are great for a tan, but can wreak havoc on hair. Heat and humidity can turn a stunning hair day into a frizzy mess. Dry hair sucks up the moisture in the air, which causes it to expand and kink. The result is a head full of frizzy flyaways that no brush can tame, but it doesn’t have to be this way. There are some simple steps anyone can take to make locks lay down. Check out these tips from A-list stylists.

• Don’t Rush.
  Leonardo Manetti,co-founder of ION Studio in New York says women that rush out the down with damp hair will pay for it. On toasty days, Manetti says it’s vital to thoroughly dry hair to prevent frizz. Split hair into sections, use a rolling brush, and blow-dry every part.
  
• Go ionic.
  Using an ionic blow dryer compresses the cuticle and prevents hair from ballooning. Attachments that force air through a smaller space can also help prevent frizz, according to Allure magazine.
  
• Rub hand cream into your hair.
  Did you know a little hand cream could fight frizz? Rita Ragone, celebrity stylist and makeup artist from Astor Place Hair told Daily News about this easy tip. "Everyone in the summertime has to slather their bodies with lotion. Whatever's left over on your hands, you can actually run through from midshaft to the ends of your hair and you will not have frizzies at all."
  
• Brush in a little product.
  If the frizzy flyaways are a summer bummer, beauty experts from Allure suggest breaking out a toothbrush to rub in a little product. For straight hair, spritz a little shine spray on the brush and comb down wispy hair. For curly hair, put a drop of anti-frizz cream on the brush and tap down the halo of flyaways.
  
• Place a frozen towel on your head.
  It might sound crazy, but this quick fix does the trick. Rita Ragone suggests putting a towel in the freezer, get it nice and cold, and then wrap hair into it. "I do this on my celebrity clients because they're always in a rush," explains Ragone. "Just put it on your head and count to 10. You take it off and the frizziness comes right out."
