With the sun blazing and temperatures soaring, keeping your cool is paramount – and that includes your hairstyle! Let’s turn the spotlight on Linda Miller, a renowned hairstylist, who can guide you through the tricky waters of picking the right hairstyle for the hot days ahead.
Hairstyles for Different Hair Types
For those with curly or coily locks, Linda advises, “A high puff or a big hair clip-in bun is a great hairstyle for hot weather. The heat and humidity can make hair frizzy, so wearing it up and out of the way can help. Make sure to use a gel or cream to keep the frizz at bay.” A hair product with hold will be your best friend, she adds.
Keeping Cool with Different Hair Lengths
If you have fine, thin, or straight hair, Linda recommends a different approach. “Loose braids or flat twists can give the appearance of thicker hair,” she says. “The hair should be secured at the nape or top of the head to keep it off your neck. A light mousse or gel can help keep everything in place.”
Key Points for Choosing Hairstyles for Hot Days:
Hair Length: Consider shorter styles or updos that keep hair off your neck and face for better ventilation.
Texture: Embrace your natural hair texture; loose waves or curls can add volume and style without heat.
Time Commitment: Choose styles that are quick and easy to do, especially if you’re short on time.
Hair Type: Understand how your hair type reacts to heat and humidity, and select styles that work with that.
Accessories: Incorporate accessories like headbands, clips, or scarves to add flair without extra heat styling.
Maintenance: Opt for low-maintenance hairstyles that don’t require frequent touch-ups throughout the day.
Moisture Control: Use anti-frizz products or lightweight sprays to manage humidity and keep your hair looking fresh.
Versatility: Look for hairstyles that can transition well from day to night, allowing for easy changes in style.
