Weatherproof hairstyles: how to get through cold and wet days in style

The cold season - when it comes to the weather, we have to be prepared for anything! Rain from above and storms from the side, snow and sleet, fog and hail: if you want to look gorgeous even in such capers, you should look into the topic of "weatherproof hairstyles". What can we do if we don't want to constantly walk around with an involuntary wet look?

Fighting frizz - anti-frizz for weatherproof hairstyles

It's maddening: As soon as we leave the house on cold and wet days, our painstakingly styled hair curls happily in all directions. The only thing that can help here is moisture - but from the inside! With good hair care, we can prevent this unloved effect and create weatherproof hairstyles. The best way to do this is to use an anti-frizz shampoo. It tames the wild mane and provides it with moisture - combined with anti-frizz conditioners or treatments, this effect is enhanced even further. Anti-frizz sprays are used at the end of the styling process: They prevent the formation of annoying frizz.

Pin, braid, lay - how to create wind and weatherproof hairstyles

If the hair is pinned or tied up, it is much more resistant to wind and rain. To style your hair, start by combing it with a brush that has been sprayed with hairspray. Then put your hair up in a bun or braid it into a tight plait. Finally, secure with bobby pins and plenty of hairspray: This way, even fine hair should permanently defy dingy winter weather.

Nevertheless, in fall or winter, even weatherproof hairstyles are likely to be destroyed by a snowstorm or gale-force wind from time to time. The only thing to do then is to keep your composure and restyle! It's best to carry a travel-size brush, hairspray and hair elastic with you when the weather is bad - that way, once you're back in the dry, even major damage can be repaired quickly.
