Why is your hair frizzy?

Do you have frizzy unmanageable hair? It may be because you have inherited curly, wavy, or frizzy from your parents i.e., it comes with your genes. Or your hair has become frizzy or poofy because of being exposed to hot sunny weather (humidity) for a long time. It may also be because of too much of blow drying, perming or treating often with chemicals such as alkaline permanents or with bleach. Or Maybe you live in Houston.
Let's face it, there is a lot of humidity in Houston. Here are some tips for maintaining your hairstyle.

1.Work with it. If your hair normally has curl or wave to it, it will become more curly when the humidity is high. Consider going with a layered style that accentuates curls.

2.
Wear your hair longer during humid months. The extra weight of the hair will keep it from puffing out as much.

3.
Use humidity-resistant or anti-frizz hair care products in everything from shampoo to hair spray
.
4.
Wear your hair in a ponytail or bun.


5. If you can't seem to tame the curl or frizz consider getting it professionally straightened.

styles for your face shape


  • Square faces are softened with graduated layers, choppy ends, soft curls and a full crown of styled hair.
  • Heart-shaped faces look great with layered bobs that flip outward at chin level. Side parts, wispy bangs and styled volume also work well with this face shape.
  • Rectangular faces look great with fullness around the sides, and avoid going below shoulder-length, as it elongates the face even more. A chin-length bob with bangs will help the face look fuller.
  • Triangular face shapes may benefit from a tapered style that will draw attention away from a dominant jaw line. Off-center parting is a great way to accent this cut and shape.
  • Round faces look ideal with height at the crown to slim and soften the face. Avoid extremely short, cropped cuts and opt for some face-framing layers on a chin-length hair cut.
  • Diamond shapes will do great with short hair. Layered styles that sit just above the neck look fabulous, as well as angled bangs to soften wide cheekbones.
  • Oval faces can look great with just about any style; layers will help draw attention to your best features.
