Products that Help a Woman Survive the Heat … and Look Beautiful Doing It.

One of the reasons I loathe summer weather is what it does to my hair. When you have naturally curly/wavy hair, the humidity can make your hair so big that people in Texas can see it. After many trips to Ricky's NYC, I found a couple of genius products.

2. Hair products that lock out humidity.

Year-round, I swear by my cheap, drugstore color-care shampoo, but my summer conditioner is the Keratin line from Rusk. This Keratin stuff is amazing. It's a little bit more pricey than drugstore options (it sells for around $17), but it's definitely worth it. It locks out humidity and leaves my hair manageable and easier to style. Because it's sodium free, it helps maintain the smooth and straight memory of your hair. This is key when it's 5 million degrees … who wants to be using a hot straightener in this weather?

In addition to the conditioner, I also picked up an oil treatment by Rusk. This product, Rusk Sensories Wellness Heal Repair Drops with Organic Argan Oil, penetrates your hair and leaves it silky smooth. After one use, my hair wasn't course and frizzy like it usually is in the humidity. Plus, it's completely organic … for all you people who swear by everything organic. Oh, and it's color-safe … and sells for around $6.00. It may be a little bottle (1 fl. oz), but it goes a long way.

Basically, Rusk has saved my hair this summer. And, when something saves my hair, it pretty much saves my life.
