Humidity-Proof Hairstyles for Northern Virginia Summers
Summer in Northern Virginia means sweltering heat and sky-high humidity. ☀️💧 While we love the sunshine, frizz and flat hair can make styling feel like a losing battle: especially for busy women balancing work, social events, and everything in between.
Ready to stay polished and battle-ready for humidity? Here are stylist-approved hairstyles that hold up beautifully in muggy weather while still looking professional and chic.
1. Sleek Low Bun or Ponytail
A timeless favorite. Pull your hair back into a low pony or twist into a smooth bun secured at the nape of your neck. Use a lightweight smoothing cream and soft bristle brush to keep flyaways in check.
2. Textured Lob (Long Bob)
Shorter styles give humidity less hair to mess with: but the lob (long bob) still offers movement and versatility. Ask your stylist to add internal texture or soft layers so it air-dries with natural wave.
3. Soft Waves with Anti-Frizz Serum
Controlled texture = frizz camouflage. Curl your hair loosely with a curling wand, then comb through with your fingers and finish with an anti-humidity spray or serum. The key: embrace a little movement instead of fighting for perfection.
