Don’t let a rainy day spoil your beauty routine. During wet weather, curly hair tends to get frizzed out and unmanageable. But don’t get frazzled; follow these hair tips and suggestions to look your best even when it’s pouring outside.
Start with a good cut
No matter the texture of your hair, you need to have a good cut. Curly hair looks best in a layered haircut that isn’t too short. If you go much shorter than chin level, you may end up looking like a clown. To keep your hair looking and feeling healthy, get it trimmed every 6-8 weeks to eliminate split ends.

Use a leave-in conditioner
To manage your curls, use a leave-in conditioner. Curly hair tends to get dry, rough and unruly due to the turns in the hair, which cause the cuticles to weaken and lift. Leave-in conditioner helps smooth the cuticle, resulting in more defined curls and less frizz.

Reduce the frizz
Speaking of frizz, curly hair tends to get frizzy as the humidity rises. Therefore in rainy, wet weather, you need to do everything you can to reduce the frizz. Pick shampoo and conditioner created specifically for curly hair and give yourself a deep conditioning treatment once a week. Hair serums and pomades can also reduce frizz. Cover your hair at night, or sleep on a silk pillowcase. Traditional cotton pillowcases can increase static and frizz in curly hair.
