Spring Hair Tips for Combat Humidity of the Season
This spring, don’t hide your hair under hats and in ponytails. Own your hair, flaunt your hairstyles and take a stand against humidity!
The spring months are upon us and during this season, the well-known grade rhyme, “April showers bring May flowers”, seems to sum it up best. But although this phrase puts a positive spin on the gloomy showers to come, the one fact that always looms over my mother and sisters’ head is that April showers can also bring humidity that can ruin hairstyles and make even the straightest hair frizz.
The key to prevent this spring is using hair products that won’t weigh your hair down, but will protect it from unwanted outside moisture penetration.
The primary step to combat the effects of humidity is creating a barrier that will provide and lock in essential oils while keeping unwanted out-side moisture form penetrating the shaft.
When hairstyling, you want to use a product that will not weight down your hair, but still hold its shape.
As a final tip, be sure to wrap your hair before going to bed every night. This will give your hair volume and prevent you from having to use a heat agent to style your hair in the morning.
Make your Baby Girls Hair Beautiful
Create a Spring Style Both You and Your Daughter Will Love!
After a season of hats, harsh winds and frigid temperatures, your daughter is probably ready to “spring” into a trendy, new hairstyle. However, you want to style that’s quick and easy, since the early morning beauty routine takes a lower priority to packing lunches, checking homework and carpooling.
So, how do you choose a hairstyle that both you and your fashion-conscious daughter will love? Start the process by discussing your daughter’s hair and how it reflects her inner beauty.
- Proactively talk about loving one’s hair. Start a conversation by learning about her perception of beauty and how her hair reflects her own beauty.
- Read through hairstyles magazines and watch television with your daughter. Ask her what young celebrities she wants to emulate and what qualities make them good role models.
- Discuss the pressures related to fitting in at school. Ask her what she and her friends discuss at recess, cheerleading practice or during lunch.
No matter what hairstyle you choose together, the morning grooming process can become a quicker and more positive experience for mother and daughter thanks to the new developing hair products. These styling products are available at any beauty shop and you only need to make sure that whatever product you choose, they should be chock-full of natural ingredients that offer protection and moisture to a young girl’s hair.
Get the Look: “The Perfect Ponytail for Little Girl”
The following is a simple, chick hairstyle that can be created without tears or tangles that leaves hair looking both healthy and sassy.
- Apply a Curl Smoother Crème liberally to clean, damp hair. Use a wide-tooth comb to distribute evenly throughout hair.
- Dab a Smoothing Gel around the hairline and nape to eliminate frizzy fly-always. Use a bristle brush to gently smooth hair.
- Sweep hair into two ponytails, one on each side of the head. Then, twist hair and fasten at the ends. You can use a Smoothing Gel for a longer lasting, more defined curl pattern.
- Once hair is completely dry, loosen with fingers. Do not comb. And your daughter is ready to show her new hairstyle to her friends.

Winter Healthy Hair Growth Tips
Achieve healthier hair on the outside and inside to protect from cold weather damage!
After many days of the hot sun, sweating and chlorine exposure in the pools, your hair has been stripped of essential oils and nutrients. Visit a professional Stylist for a complete outer hair evaluation and a good hair trim of about 1/2 inch which will cut away damaged split ends. Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water, eat proper nutrition and put key nutrients in your system. Because you hair grows from within, you must take care of it on the inside as well.
Moisturize your hair daily to reduce dryness, brittleness and breakage!
In general, as women of color, our hair is usually dry due to decreased sebaceous (oil) gland secretions. As the temperatures become cooler and less humid, your hair becomes even drier. Apply a daily moisturizer (oil sheen, lotion, etc) to your hair, especially the ends which are more prone to splitting and breakage when too dry. Hairstylescut.com’s hair experts suggests their favourite remedies for dry hair — basic olive oil which can be used daily or applied heavily with a plastic cap the night before shampooing. Also, on days when at home relaxing, apply a heavier amount of moisturizer followed by plastic cap and cute scarf. Doing this as often as possible is an excellent way to retain moisture in hair strands.
Even during the winter, you must shampoo your hair at least once a week!
Contrary to popular belief, we should wash your hair at least a week followed by a moisturizing conditioner regardless of the changing temps. Keeping the scalp clean will also reduce yeast and bacteria accumulation to avoid an itchy, dry scalp, if your follicles are inflamed or irritated. Also, since we typically use a lot of styling products such as greases, gels and pomades, a thorough clarifying shampoo should be done monthly to remove product build-ups.
Dry scalp needs more than just grease!
During the winter, your scalp can become even drier. However, if it is also itchy then there is a Pityrosporum yeast build-up called Seborrheic Dermatitis. A medicated shampoo with zinc, selenium sulfade, coal tar, salicylic acid or ketoconazole should be used and left in for at least 10 minutes to allow peneteation into the follicles. You may follow with your favourite shampoo. Repeat every week until under control then so at least once a month as maintenance.
Watch wool scarf’s, hats and coats!
Be careful while wearing wool that can rub against the back of the neck which can lead to a thin hairline.
