Curls

Even a hint of curl turns poufy and fuzzy when it sponges up moisture from the air. The secret is to front-load your hair with conditioning treatments and finish with a product that locks out humidity.

For the most movement and bounce, ask for a cut with layers: If you have long hair, the shortest section should still be long enough to tuck into a ponytail.

For short hair, air-dry with a mix of curling cream and shine serum to get rid of flyaways and define curls.

Touch your hair as little as possible to avoid creating frizz. And—for the same reason—don't use brushes at all.

Don't overshampoo. If you normally wash your hair every day, cut back to every other day. If you wash your hair every other day, wash it every third.

Condition, condition, condition. Augment with a weekly protein treatment to strengthen hair and bump up shine.
