Hair Beauty Tip
Humidity-Proof Hairstyles
submitted: Jul 8, 2009tip #340
Mary-Kate Olsen's windswept waves not only look chic, they can also stand up to summer's sky-high temperatures.
Beachy Waves
"There's something very organic about natural waves that is very sexy," says Tresemmé celebrity hairstylist Mara Roszak, whose clients include Zooey Deschanel and Halle Berry.
Not only do they look great, they're also super-easy to achieve. If you already have a natural wave, apply an anti-frizz cream to towel-dried hair to define texture and reduce frizz, then scrunch your hair and twist sections away from your face. Her pick: Tresemmé Anti-Frizz Secret Smoothing Crème.
If you have straight hair, spritz a spray gel on wet hair to create texture, then scrunch all over and finger-tousle as you dry it.

Braids & Twists
"Braids are a great way to open up the face, tame thick tresses or give texture to fine hair. It's also a great option when you are having a bad hair day," says Herbal Essences celebrity stylist Charles Baker Strahan, whose celeb clients include Blake Lively and Leighton Meester.
Start with dry hair that has a wavy texture, which will hold the braid. Take small sections of hair at your part or hairline, then braid to the ends. Secure with a clear elastic and lightly spritz the braid with a spray gel. His pick: Herbal Essences Set Me Up Spray Gel. Loosely tuck the bottom of the braid under other pieces of hair so that the ends aren't visible.

Pretty Ponytails
Turn a boring ponytail into a fun and flirty style by adding in some waves and twists. Start with dry, wavy hair. Gather strands up loosely into a ponytail, leaving a few front pieces loose. Secure the ponytail with an elastic, then loosely twist the front strands. Pin them back, then set the style with a light hold, flexible hairspray. We like Oribe Superfine Hair Spray.

*laughs* what, are all of you fraking 12?!? this is an HBA website. and for those of you who are as ignorant as you're speaking, that means Health and Beauty. At any rate, this is NOT myspace, and to start drama on a website like this is positively ridiculous. And it just aggrivates me when people put things like this up. so do the world a favor AND STOP IT!
