After a long day in the sun, your hair can look and feel like dried out straw. To rehabilitate your dry strands, you can great hair products like Curly Hair Solutions.  It's also a good idea to apply a leave in conditioner with sunscreen - yes, your hair needs sun protection too!

Not enough curl

Use a styling glaze or styling foam to scrunch in more curl as it dries.
If your hair is scrunched and completely dry and is still lacking, use a curling iron to add a few curls. The trick is to curl only a few very small strands, here and there. Your purpose is to enhance the look, not create a whole new style with the iron.

Too much curl

Use smoothing serum or gel or a combination of both to coat the hair and control frizz. Do not scrunch.
When your hair is completely dry, loosen a few curls here and there with a curling iron. Run your fingers through your hair enough to fluff and separate the curls but not enough to cause your style to become "big hair."

Refreshing the curl

If your hair gets overly fluffed, either from styling or from wear and tear throughout the day; wet your hands and run your fingers through it to tame and separate the curls. Hair crèmes are also very good for ‘weighting’ your hair down a bit.  If the ends get frizzy, put a dollop of glaze or hair crème in the palms of your hands, rub them together and scrunch the product into the ends of your hair.

Enjoy the new freedom from worrying about humidity and the weather, because your hair is doing what it was born to do!  For all other hair styling needs, check my weekly column on everything style from your head down to your toes.  Your Stylist Truly, Meytal.
