Frizz-Free Hairstyles

Hello hot weather, hello frizzy hair!

Summer means lots of wonderful outdoor activities for you and your daughter, but it’s also definitely the frizziest time of the year, and if you don’t care for her hair, the dreaded frizz can set in, in no time! What causes hair frizz? Three things: Heat, humidity and constant hair touching!

For the first two, a simple shower and shampoo combo is often the best solution, but constant hair touching is a little trickier to solve. You’ll have to choose hairstyles that keep her locks in place all day, so she won’t have to run her hands through her hair to move stray hairs out of the way.

To get you started, I picked out three cute and effortless styles that can help reduce self-inflicted frizz to a minimum.

Side-Clipped Bangs

There’s no stopping your daughter from playing a little hopscotch with the neighborhood kids, but you can keep her hair in perfect place with a pair of Dannielynn bow clips, making sure she won’t need to fix her bangs with every skip and jump. These beautiful polka dot bows come in three colored pairings, including purple on pink, red on lavender and shocking pink on sea foam.

The Classic Headband Look

Perfect for a windy day on a fairground carousel, hold her hair firmly in place with the bubblegum cute Cory headband, made in white organdy fabric.

Pulled Back Bow

With the right styling, difficult to control longer hair can be far easier to manage than you might imagine. A simple pulled back look using our Fiona clipette™ bow, for example, reins in those pesky loose locks and looks more casual and elegant than a low ponytail.

If all goes well, these easy tips will help keep the summer frizz at bay. Be sure to visit the No Slippy Hair Clippy® store for more hair accessories!

It’s Time for a Hair Repair!

Believe it or not, gorgeous locks are never too far out of reach. You just need to get your hair in good health and soon you’ll be flaunting shinier, healthier hair in no time… Flash back to “The Breck Girls!” But first things first: lose the bad hair habits!

Among the most common hair nightmares are frizz, breakage and damage. These problems do not just pop out of nowhere. The way we treat our hair is oftentimes the very cause of our bad-hair-days. Here are some suggestions to help break those bad hair-habits and get better results.

Problem: Too Much Heat

When your blow-dryer is too hot, it can literally burn the surface of your hair! This will cause frizz and breakage.

Solution: Cool Down

On the surface, it may seem fine, but if it is giving off too much heat, then it's likely that its motor is already more than three or four years old. We suggest an ionic model. These models break down the size of water droplets to cut down drying time and to prevent hair damage. It is also important to give your hair a break from heat-styling. During these breaks, you can easily add flair to your locks by styling it with colorful hair accessories.

Problem: Split Ends

When you check your hair and see split ends, do you get tempted to pull the split apart so that it’s not obvious? The next time you feel this temptation, flee from it! You are only extending the split and this may lead to fly-away strands.

Solution: Cut it Out

The best solution to split ends is to cut the ends. See your stylist for a trim of at least half an inch every six weeks. Then in between your trims, use a few drops of anti-frizz serum on your hair’s ends to temporarily fuse the splits. One of my favorites is Bio-silk. It works great, and smells wonderful!

Problem: Knots Landing

When you comb your hair, it’s likely that you start from the roots and work down to the tips. You inevitably move any knots farther down the strands and make them bigger. This puts more stress on your hair and leads to breakage.

Solution: Upside Down

When combing your hair, try beginning at your ends and then work your way up to the roots. The key is to detangle a few inches at a time. For those extra nasty knots, mist on a leave-in conditioner and then gently detangle it using the point of a teasing comb.
