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.

Towel dry To remove the excess moisture from your hair (and product, which can weigh down your locks), use a towel. Just squeeze the water out gently and you're good to go!

Diffuse hair Whatever you do, do NOT put your ends in the diffuser. That is a common hair myth that just doesn't work. Leave the ends out so that by the time you're finished with the top of your head, the ends will have dried all on their own. Remember: Diffuse on a low fan/high heat. For volume, diffuse leaning toward the chair with your head down.

Control moisture Humid weather is curly hair's nemesis. Moisture in the air penetrates the hair shaft, making it expand. Comendador suggests using a weekly hair treatment throughout the summer to keep hair well-conditioned. Try: MoMo shampoo and conditioner from Davines. Available at Howard Barr Studio.
