In an effort to remain hip all summer long, the bangs-wearing set continues to fight the good fight against humidity, frizz, and forehead breakouts. According to Elaine Mitchell, senior creative director for Sassoon’s uptown Manhattan salon (they’ve officially dropped the Vidal, BTW), keeping your fringe manageable through the heat is all a matter of sprays and serums. “The correct product is crucial to prevent the bangs from becoming oily or weighed down,” she says, explaining that the best way to combat humidity is to spray on something super-light while your bangs are still wet, like Kerastase Volumactive, then blow it dry straight and follow up with a flat iron. “If hair tends to get curly at the temples,” she adds, “use a relaxing fluid like Davines‘, before blow-drying.”
