Bounce from city to cottage with head-turning curls!

Take a cue from the spring runways and free yourself from the straightening iron. Big, bouncy curls are in! So, whether you're strolling the city streets or dockside at the cottage, there's no need to tame your waves.

Stylist and hair guru Jay Comendador, who works at the chic Howard Barr Studio in Toronto, shares his hair secrets for surviving the sun, heat and humidity.

Stylish, healthy and frizz-free tresses can be yours with these simple steps!

Use product When hair is still wet (not dripping), apply small amounts of gel consistently through the hair.

Comb hair "A defined curl is a group of hair that curls together smoothly; frizz is a result of individual hair that does its own thing," says Comendador. To create definition, comb one-inch panels of hair with a wide-toothed comb. Comendador recommends using "The Bone Comb," an orange wide-toothed comb that has perfect spacing between the teeth for curls ($20, available at Howard Barr Studio).

Twist curls "Most people with curly hair are wavy in the front and curlier in the back," he says. To work with this, take two to 10 groupings of hair from the top of your head and wrap each around your finger in a direction away from your face. This will improve consistency greatly.
