Surviving Bad Hair Day with Effective Hair Care Tips

While you might spend ages getting your hair just right, the weather outside could care less. Different climate conditions laugh in the face of styling tools, blowouts and bangs. There’s nothing outside weather conditions love more than sneaking under your hair-shielding umbrella or hoodie to add a bout of frizz to your look.

But enough is enough, ladies. While we can’t control the weather, we can take the proper measures to ensure that hair doom is not imminent. With these tips, we shall survive.

Survival Tip No. 1: Go Natural

Put down the hair straightener. I repeat, put down the hair straightener. The Hairpocalypse is no time for heat-styling tools. Take a shower and let your hair air dry. Whatever you’re left with is what you’re going to be working with this month.

In fact, it’s time to embrace whatever curl or wave you’ve been styling away from the world. Trust me, it’s beautiful, and with the right products and styles, you won’t miss the heat.

Please be aware that every one of us is unique. Hence you and I have certain and unique needs when it comes to hair as well. Don’t be afraid to test out various quality hair care products that may make a huge difference in your hair styling. I did just that! And today, I do have a collection of hair products that I use and interchange in my daily routine. In fact, the line of products that I keep using in my life is this one .

Do Natural Hair Care Products Work?

It’s been proven with hundreds, if not thousands of clinical trials that personal care products with organic natural ingredients contribute an anti-aging effect to the hair. What it means for your hair is vibrant, healthy looks no matter your age, when you feed and care for your hair accordingly.

When you incorporate shampoos and conditioners with natural and safe ingredients that gently cleanse and hydrate your hair, you become more powerful against frizzes and split ends.

For example, take a test drive with Rinse and Condition Duo from Mounia. The Mounia Rinse shampoo boasts of organic aloe vera and Rhassoul clay to cleanse the hair. Boosted with rose and pomegranate oil technology, this product removes buildup on your hair without damaging it.

When you treat your hair with Mounia Condition, you infuse organic cumin and flaxseed oil into the hair structure of each hair. Plus, your hair follicles get the protection they need to strengthen and protect the hair growth process. And if your hair has been through color treatment, biotin aka Vitamin B7 or “Beauty Vitamin” offers extra nutrients for your hair to say ‘no’ to different damage types.

Revitalize Scalp Health With Scalp Massager

In shower and outside, give your scalp a good, yet gentle massage with the finger tips or with a scalp massager. Stimulating hair follicles with gentle bristles made of medical grade silicone is relaxing and beneficial at the same time.

In fact, you can use a scalp massager on wet or dry hair. You can shop for yours .

Hair Tip No. 2: Know Your Hairpocalypse Allies

Using Oil, Wax or Pomade for Hair Styling

These are our best defense against the onslaught of H2O. Wax and pomade are especially great for short hair and will help avoid the hair-plastered-to-your-face or mad-scientist frizz looks.

For my long, bottom-curling hair, my favorite weapon is oil – argan oil to be exact. It’s light enough to not make me greasy, and will lock my curls down and fend off frizz. Check out one of my favorites HERE.

Embrace Moisture in the Air

But wait, isn’t all the moisture in the air causing the problems? Think again. Frizz thrives in dry, damaged and heat-treated hair. You don’t want there to be any room on your “moisture bus” for April’s contribution, so make sure your hair isn’t thirsty by boosting your deep-conditioning game.

And for all my curly- and wavy-haired gals, get on board with cleansing conditioners. They won’t strip all the natural oils (aka your protective shield) that are made specifically by your body for your hair.

Survival Hair Tip No. 3: Try Hairpocalyse-Friendly Hairstyles

When I said “go natural” I didn’t mean you’d have to wear your hair like it’s Woodstock all over again. Here are some cute, trendy ’dos that will stand up to rain, humidity and wind.

Check out some fabulous hairstyles that I consider classic.

Top Bun: A bun is both compact and easy to keep covered. This is also an easy fix for when your hair gets testy during these hard times.

Fishtail Braids: Because fishtail braids will look great even if April messes them about. #winning

Half Up and Back: Natural (even poufy or unkempt) hair looks so medieval princess when you tuck or tie half up and back. Bonus points if you add a braid a la Game of Thrones. Plus, this look is rain-tested (see: the rain scene in The Notebook).

Messy Pony: Nice try, April: It’s supposed to be messy. 

You could also use some quick hair mists that add texture to your final looks. For example, this Luxury Hair Mist by FRACAS de Robert Piguet. Check it out here.

Headbands and Scarves: They’ll smooth back the hair around your crown, making you appear instantly well-kempt. These are especially great for short hair during the Hairpocalypse.
