102 | BEAUTY LAUNCHPAD | JUNE 2017 Each summer, many of my Latina clients fi ght a tough battle with frizz. Warm, humid weather is no friend to their thick, coarse and textured hair. I'm always ready with solutions to help them get through the summer months with smooth, frizz-free strands! Styling: Summer is bridal season and the last thing we want is a frizzy bride! Here's a strategy that serves me well: I have my brides come in the day before the wedding for a shampoo and blowout. This gives the hair 24 hours to "calm down" before the wedding. The next day they return and I complete the style, whether it's an updo or loose, romantic waves. If the weather is really fi erce, I'll wrap their hair and secure it with a silk scarf on blow-dry day for extra protection. Service: Many of my clients book a smoothing service at the beginning of the season. I use Matrix Opti.Smooth. More and more women are opting for the "cold" service, which means I don't use a fl at iron and I only process for 10 to 20 minutes out of 50 minutes. This leaves plenty of curl and body in the hair while banishing frizz. The regrowth is also less noticeable—a client can go three or four months without a retouch; by then it's fall and she can wait until next summer if she chooses. Care: One of the best frizz fi ghters is the hair's natural oils, which is why I switch many of my clients from conventional shampoo to a cleansing conditioner during the summer. These formulas are gentle; they won't strip the hair's natural oils as they cleanse. My favorite for coarse textures is the new Biolage Cleansing Conditioner for Damaged Hair—it really helps keep fuzz in check! Daily Prep: I always send clients home with a powerful anti-frizz regimen. I like Total Results Mega Sleek because it contains shea butter, which it great for controlling Latina hair. In addition to using Mega Sleek Blow Down Cream to achieve a smooth blowout, I like to scrunch it into damp curls for great defi nition without crunchiness. I also recommend the Mega Sleek Mega Varnish serum. WARM WEATHER WOES Robert Santana, Matrix artistic director and Latin Expres sions team leader, divulges how to best combat frizz in muggy weather.
