Rain may be the nemesis of a wedding-day ‘do; but any climate/condition/time of year can do a number on carefully coiffed hair if you’re not in protect mode. Here, a four-season forecast – and the products to marry with each!
THE FOUR SEASONS...
SPRING
What it brings: May flowers…sure. But don’t forget the showers. It’s important to remember that spring weather can vary big-time, depending on where in the country you’re tying the knot. In the South, it’s not uncommon to experience a balmy 70 degrees with a touch of humidity; on the East Coast and in the Pacific Northwest, prepare yourself for plenty of rain and peek-a-boo sun.
Vow to keep these products handy:
☆ Humidity Blocker+ Protective Finishing Spray: This product will stand up for you in the rain or mist, depositing a 24-hour invisible veil of a barrier against frizz, static, pollutants, and even hair-dulling sulfates and parabens.
☆ Dream Blowout Protection Crème: The perfect product when your bridal look is all about a big, bouncy blowout – and you want it to stay that way. This super-hydrating formula cuts drying time in half, then safeguards strands against the ravaging effects of thermal styling, humidity, frizz, and even damage caused by pollution.
☆ Defy Damage Protective Shield: In intense weather – say, when getting from ceremony to reception — additional layers may be necessary to cloak hair with extra protection from the elements. Defy Damage shields hair from the get-go, delivering exceptional, bond-building protection that guards against static, color fade, breakage, and dryness.
SUMMER
What it brings: Gorgeous sunshine, of course. But also – depending on where you’re getting married – a whole lot of humidity, heat, and potentially misting AC set-ups!
Vow to keep these products handy:
☆ Heat Hero Glossing Thermal Protector: The perfect way to counteract hot days, blow-dryers, flat irons, and curling wands. This next-generation hair guardian springs into action to protect each strand from heat damage up to 450 degrees, while delivering a luxurious, glossy sheen. (It also locks out hair-dulling pollutants, in case you’re getting married on a NYC rooftop!)
☆ K-PAK Color Therapy Luster Lock Glossing Oil: When you want to gleam in the spotlight and keeps tendrils tidy (i.e. you’re wearing your hair in a sleek pony or half updo), this instant shine-maker does the trick. Not only does the Glossing Oil help tame hair when you’re pulling it back, but the protective, reparative hair treatment calms any frizz without weighing strands down.
☆ Beach Shake Texturizing Finisher: Exchanging vows at a beach resort and want that carefree, sexy look? This seaside styling spray delivers glam, a beachy texture, and satiny hydration in a transformative spray that creates perfectly “imperfect” separation.
FALL
What it brings: Weather that’s all over the map – literally. Get married in a warm climate (like Arizona) in October, and you can happily have an outdoor wedding with relatively carefree hair. Go East, where the autumnal air can bring chilly temps along with that blaze of color, and you may be contending with wind, frizz and/or the occasional drizzle.
Vow to keep these products handy:
☆ Defy Damage Sleepover Overnight Nourishing Treatment: The perfect prep before the Big Day. This product allows you to wake up to visibly softer, smoother, shinier hair without lifting a finger; while the bedtime bond-strengthener actually protects each strand from damage and pollution, reducing breakage and the appearance of split ends.
☆ Power Spray Fast Dry Finishing Spray: This whole new level of ultra-firm hold locks stray strands into place and increases shine by 170%, protecting against humidity, heat, and pollution; while keeping wedding style intact for a full 3 days (hello, honeymoon!). The fine aerosol mist is developed with crystal-clear flexible copolymers and Moringa Seed Oil — ingredients that provide serious, tack-free hold, shine, and softness.
☆ Curl Confidence Defining Crème: Want to celebrate your natural texture with a soft touch and stunning definition? This refreshingly different styler enhances all types of curls and waves with reduced frizz, lavish hydration, and a boost of shine – the perfect protection for any weather sitch.
WINTER
What it brings: Cloudy with a chance of snow, extreme dryness, or torrential rain. In the winter months, any weather condition is possible – so outfit your bridal hair accordingly.
Vow to keep these products handy:
☆ Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm: Providing deep hydration to thirsty hair while maximizing strength and shine, this extra-hydrating formula injects body and control, keeping flyaways at bay in the process. It’s a smart start before creating that ultimate winter-wedding-day look.
☆ Rise Up Powder Spray: You may not be wearing a cold-weather hat, but even an hour or two in a headpiece can cause a case of flat hair. Don’t head to the reception without trying one of the coolest new ways to inject instant lift into hair that needs some oomph. With a single, breezy “puff” of product, Rise Up instantly dispenses a super-fine dose of lightweight, flexible volumizing action throughout the hair.
☆ Weekend Hair Dry Shampoo: Yes, it’s the perfect non-hair-wash solution; but our one-hit wonder also gives you an instant refreshing boost when your indoor celebration stretches on for hours, with lively dancing and overheated tents. Unlike traditional, powdery/parching dry-shampoo formulas, this timesaving spray delivers fresh, clean, velvety-soft hair without stripping investment hair color.
