While I am thrilled to welcome in warmer weather and all the outdoor time that comes with it, the onset of heat and humidity inevitably sets the stage for unruly frizz and unwelcome flyaways. Sometimes I can work with the texture, but on the days I don’t want to sacrifice a smooth and sleek blowout to the forces of humidity, I need products that can put up the good fight.
