Get Perfect Hair in Any Weather

Rain. Snow. Heat. Humidity. Here's how to look flawless, no matter what Mother Nature has in mind

Snow "Snow can confuse women's hair," says Randi Petersen, a Los Angeles-based celebrity hairstylist, "since it's generally a cold, dry temperature outside, but the snow coming down is wet." The chilly temp makes hair brittle, dull, and full of static -- and though the snow's wet, it doesn't moisturize it in a healthy way. "Curly hair has fewer curls and more frizz, and straight hair just feels dull," she says. When styling, use a leave-in conditioner that softens the shaft, and finish with a shine serum. "It's like a drink of water for your hair," says Petersen.

In the snow, she likes a pulled-back look most -- like a high or low bun, braid, or sporty ponytail. "I put my hair into a high bun with leave-in conditioner, under a knit hat," says reader Gena, who lives in snowy Chicago. "It's stylish, easy, and I get next-day waves." If your hair is tucked under a hat with harder edges, like a fedora or baseball cap, eliminate hat head by flipping your head over, applying dry shampoo to your roots, and doing a quick, upside-down blow dry, says Danielle Irene, a New York City-based hairstylist.

These are some really great tips! I live in a climate where we experience all 4 seasons of the year. As the seasons change, so does my hair routine along with the products I use. I've not used much of the Suave Professionals, so I look forward to giving some of these products a try!
