If you’re like me they you struggle with frizz while trying to maintain your perfect coils. While April showers bring May flowers, they also pack some serious frizz that can wreak havoc on your curls! Miko Branch, co-founder of Miss Jessie’s, offers tips for how to survive the humid weather with curls and peace of mind intact.

• Your curls will need different stylers at different times of the year. During the rainier months, modify your beauty routine and use a styler with stronger hold than you might usually use. This will allow you to tame and control your humidified curls. Miss Jessie’s offers a wide range of stylers, from super light hold (Pillow Soft Curls) to super firm hold (Curly Pudding).

• Don’t doubt what nature gave you! It is much better to embrace your natural curls than fight them and try to achieve brand new texture. Go with the flow and try a new look for a day or two.  For example, if you always have every curl in place, then during the rainy season, try a less stylized look. For kinkier, tighter curls, we recommend that you ultra-moisturize your hair as moisture is your best protection against humidity.

• The damper part of Spring gives you the perfect opportunity to try braids, coil outs, or twist outs! Keep in mind that these styles require curl care as well. Before braiding, coiling, or twisting your curls, make sure that your curls are clean, and that you used a deep conditioner (like Miss Jessie’s Super Sweetback Treatment or Rapid Recovery Treatment).
