Get a great cut. Step one – it all starts at the beginning. The foundation of any great look for hair starts with the cut, which can make or break the ease of styling. Work with your stylist to find a cut that complements your curl rather than setting you up for hours of styling. This way when those humid days hit, you’re already halfway there.
Make Sea Salt Spray part of your summer routine. A little surf spray will help give curls that natural definition that you’re after, not to mention the summer cool just back from the beach look. Spray on damp hair and allow it to air dry to get the ultimate beachy effect.

Got a short do that ends up totally frizzy by the end of the night? Give wax a try. Use clips to pin damp hair exactly where you want it and allow it to air dry. Once it’s dry, use a small amount of styling wax to hold pieces in place. You should be good-to-go for the whole night!
Just cannot get those long locks under control? A top knot isn’t only totally chic it can also be your best bet when you just don’t feel like battling frizz.
