How to handle the humidity hair!

Whew I don't know about you, but for us this past week was sweltering hot. Ottawa was rushed into summer with days of thirty-seven degrees Celsius and hello humidity!
During these humid days hair can often be uncooperative and let's just face it: frizzy, slick, sweaty, stuck to your neck, heavy, hot, semi-curly/ straight-monster on your head..and that's when we get tempted and wonder why do we have such long hair? Should we chop it off and go for the retro bob?

Thankfully Leah's updos save our manes and our hair sanity!

Here is a simple humidity-beater updo, that requires absolutely no bobby pins!You only need a stretchy, elastic headband. It looks great in curly, straight and the best in semi- frizzy/sweaty hair! Give it a shot.

The Headband Updo

Step 1: Place the headband over your hair and push it down.

Step 2: Starting above your right ear, take two inch pieces of hair and flip them under the headband.





























Step 3: Holding the ends of that section, pick up another two inch piece of hair and flip under the headband. Repeat until you get to the middle/back section of you hair. Leave those pieces and start twisting/ flipping on the left side of hair.































Step 4: When you reach the back section, twist and flip in two inch  sections. Keep twisting the hair around until you get a messy bun. Voila! If your headband feels like it is falling you can secure it in place with a couple of bobby pins.
