5 tips for storm-proof hair

It's not just my garden fence taking a battering this week. Take a look at these five tips for appearing less like you've been dragged through a hedge!

1. Condition
Moisturised hair looks less frizzy and flyaway so treat your hair to a high-quality leave-in conditioner before you apply your styling product.

2. Leave it alone!
The more you move your hair around while it dries naturally, the more frizz you'll get. If you're caught in a downpour don't faff with your hair while it's drying, let it dry completely then work finishing product into the hair to revive your style.

3. ...or dry it properly
It's not practical to carry a hair dryer around with you, but a little of your fave styling product is worth keeping in your glove box. Apply a little then find a loo with a hand dryer with an adjustable nozzle. No I'm not joking. Blasting hair from root to tip smoothes the cuticle and fights frizz, but his doesn't work with the funky new Dyson Blade dryer. Trust me.

4. Go with what you've got
This isn't the weather for spending an hour straightening your curls or curling your straight hair. Focus instead on moisturising and defining your natural texture and save the heat styling for better weather.

5. ... or change what you've got
Take a look at the new Bumble and Bumble smoothing service to fight frizz and flyaway for weeks at a time. Mention this blog when you're booking to save £50 in May too.
