The top knot was basically invented for days like today. Pull your hair back into a ponytail, tease the length and then wrap it round and secure with bobby pins. Spray with light hairspray and you’re ready to go.

Change your Parting

Changing your parting hides the greasiest part of your hair and gives it a new lease of life. All that’s needed is a comb and a spritz or hairspray.

Beat the Heat

Humidity wreaking havoc with your locks? Make sure you let hair dry 90% of the way before heat styling, to avoid the dreaded frizz from taking its toll. Also remember to use a serum or hair oil when still wet – brushing through the length of the hair – to help keep it smooth and sleek.
