Make-up is good, hair is done, off to that party. But unfortunately: as soon as you go outside and a drop of rain falls on your head, your hair looks like an exploded bird's nest. Sigh.
Rain makes our hair look slightly different than normal. It becomes rough, bouncy and frizzy. And even though a rain shower on your head is very healthy, we want to avoid these types of hairstyles at all costs. This is how.
Frizzy hair from a rain shower
If we have just managed to style our hairstyles without frizz, we are confronted with fog, a drizzle or a huge downpour and yes: frizzy hair is the (annoying) result. Of course, we would like to avoid that, especially if you have just spent an hour in front of the mirror.
Luckily, there are some super handy solutions to this problem. First of all, use an anti-frizz hair product, such as a fine oil or a serum that is suitable for your hair type.
Also you can, if you go for that wet look want to go, use gel and comb your hair back tightly. A perfect hairstyle for greasy hair and a little rain doesn't matter.
A bun and cap against fluff
Have you just washed your hair and are you getting ready to go out in the rain? Then make sure your hair is completely dry before you go outside. It is best to let your hair air dry – avoid exposing your hair to too much heat.
Then twist your hair into a bun (make sure you don't tie your hair too tightly, and don't use an elastic with an iron: those things are bad for your beautiful locks) and put on a cap or hat. This way your hairstyle is protected as much as possible.
Don't forget to include those small, loose tufts behind your ears and around your neck. Those hairs always seem to explode immediately as soon as they come into contact with rain.
Still frizzy hair? You can do this
Unfortunately, your hair has started to stick out in all directions. Sigh! Don't panic, because it's not such a disaster. Comb your hair (carefully!) with a clean, wide-toothed wooden comb and let it air dry again. Use a serum to keep those strands under control.
Or, for all you lazy girls, just leave your hair tied. Plenty of trendy hairstyles that take no time and look great, such as a loose braid.
