Woman This Month - August 2014

www.womanthismonth.com 49 August 2014 Along with humidity come sweat, frizz and worse — flat hair. Luckily, there are simple tips followed by stylists at Toni & Guy that can help you avoid the frustration related to summer haircare. It’s not as complicated as you’d think. While women with thicker hair seem like they’re forever battling frizz, those with thin hair know that humidity can bring your mane down — and fast. The first product the experts reach for before heading out the door is dry shampoo, like the one from label.m. Spray your scalp area generously with the product right after your blow dry. This will combat sweat the moment it starts. Another benefit of dry shampoo is volume, which can be hard to come by when it’s humid outside. Spray some dry shampoo into wet hair and use a round brush or diffuser to blow dry your hair. The excess powder will help build volume without frizz. Brush it off A healthy hair shaft and a sealed cuticle will go a long way on a hot and sweltering summer day. Using a magnesium barrel brush can change your life. The magnesium will heat up to the temperature of your blow dryer in about five seconds, and it will stay hot for three minutes. You’ll get continuous and even heat that will close and smoothen stubborn cuticles without burning them. When your cuticle is closed flat, humidity has a harder time changing the beautiful blow-out you just achieved. To ensure an even better result, stylists spray hair with a ‘heat protect’ spray and seal the deal with a flat iron. Both the brush and the spray from label.m is available at Toni & Guy. What’s left? Only one thing: seal the hair from any drop of moisture that could come and wreak havoc. Extreme hold hairspray from label.m gives you three different holding strengths. Just turn the dial and adjust your protection for the humidity you’re about to battle. Call 17 001-700. Are you stressed about damaged hair?
