Just like fireworks, frizz pops up often this time of year, but these finds are keeping our hair smooth. When you add a few drops of water to Small Wonder’s pro vitamin B5-infused powder, it transforms into a serum that keeps strands sleek. Ceremonia, meanwhile, has bottled its popular gel into a small tube to tame hair on the go.

We love this formula for its oil-absorbing powers. But in addition to making every day feel like washday, this spray contains a touch of argan oil to boost hydration and shine, plus hydrolyzed keratin to help strengthen the
hair fiber.

Plus Expert Hair Tips!
From celebrity colorist Jenna Perry (visit her at Jenna Perry Hair Salon in N.Y.C.), whose clients include Kaia Gerber and Kendall Jenner.
Apply Oil Before You Shampoo
In summer, hair needs consistent moisturization, not just damage control once it already feels dry. Try applying a generous amount of oil on your hair (I use Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil) and letting it sit for a few minutes before you wash it.
Restore Your Hair Overnight
Apply Crown Affair’s leave-in treatment Overnight Repair Serum from mid-lengths to ends, then put on a silk bonnet to lock in hydration and reduce friction
while you sleep.
Invest in Personalized Treatments
The sun can be incredibly stressful on your scalp, causing dryness, irritation and buildup that can ultimately affect the health of your hair. Seek out salons that will customize your treatment based on exactly what your scalp and hair need.
