When you get ready to leave the house, your hair looks perfectly fine and beautiful. But by the time you get there, the wind, sweat or humid environment can make your hair to become frizzy, damaged or dry. This problem is common to almost everyone. A hairstyle alone is not enough to keep your hair in good shape, but with proper preparation, a little protection and a few simple tricks, your hair can stay in good shape for hours.

To keep your hair straight and prevent excessive frizz or frizz, you should start by washing it properly. Avoid very hot water and wash your hair in lukewarm water, as this will close the cuticles and reduce frizz. Splashing cold water after washing will make your hair smoother. While drying your hair, gently squeeze the water out rather than wiping it with a towel. This will reduce frizz considerably. Applying a light serum or anti-frizz cream before going out will help your hair stay in good shape for longer.

A simple pack that can be prepared and used at home can also help in keeping your hair in good shape. Mixing curd and aloe vera with a little almond oil makes a great smoothing pack. This pack cools the hair, retains moisture and reduces tangles, frizz or dryness. Applying this pack once a week gives straight, bouncy and manageable hair. It is useful to keep the weather in mind while choosing a hairstyle. If you want to keep your hair completely loose, a headband, mini clips or a light hairspray will help a lot. A low ponytail, a slick bun or a neatly tied braid are also good options to maintain the style of straight hair. These hairstyles do not get tangled in the wind, travel or sweat. Even if you want to keep your hair loose, pin the next few strands so that the look stays neat all the time.

If you are going out in a very windy, humid environment or traveling in a vehicle, give your hair protection time. Pulling your hair back and tying it with a light scarf, using a silk cloth, or lightly tying it with a clutch keeps your hair from getting tangled, frizzy, or tangled. Once you arrive, remove the scarf or clip and your hair will look perfectly straight and neat.
