Rainy Day Styling: Weatherproof Hair Ideas for Spring

Spring showers are inevitable, but bad hair days don’t have to be. This guide is packed with weatherproof hairstyles, anti-frizz solutions and spring haircare tips to help you and your clients stay stylish, rain or shine. From salon-approved techniques to durable styles that won’t budge, we’ve got you covered.

Weatherproof Hairstyles

Here are some hairstyles that stand up to moisture and humidity:

1. The Sleek Low Bun

A go-to for rainy days, this style tames frizz and keeps hair off your face. It works best with a smoothing cream or anti-frizz serum to keep the look polished.

• How to style:

1. Apply a leave-in conditioner or smoothing cream on damp hair

2. Create a centre part and gather hair into a low ponytail at the nape

3. Twist the ponytail into a bun and secure it with pins

4. Finish with a light mist of weatherproof hairspray

2. Braids That Stay Put

Braids are durable and versatile. From fishtails to French braids, they hold up beautifully in damp conditions.

• Pro Tip: Use a styling wax or texturising spray before braiding to keep flyaways in check

3. Textured Ponytails

Perfect for when you’re short on time, a textured ponytail can handle spring's unpredictability.

• How to style:

1. Use a volumising mousse on roots and blow-dry

2. Gather hair into a mid or high ponytail and tease the ends slightly for volume

3. Secure it with an elastic and wrap a small section of hair around it for a polished finish

Anti-Frizz Solutions

Humidity and frizz often go hand-in-hand, but these tips will help your clients stay sleek:

• Start in the Shower: Use a sulfate-free, hydrating shampoo and conditioner to lock in moisture

• Apply a Leave-In Conditioner: Products with silicone or argan oil can create a protective barrier

• Dry Correctly: Blow-dry hair with a diffuser or let it air-dry halfway before styling

• Top Picks for Anti-Frizz Products:

• Farmavita Argan Sublime Shampoo - Infused with Argan oil this shampoo hydrates, repairs and controls frizz while gently cleansing hair

Spring Haircare Tips: Salon Insights

• Suggest Treatments: Recommend keratin or smoothing treatments to combat persistent frizz

• Encourage Accessories: Hair scarves, headbands or embellished clips can save the day when clients are caught in the rain

Addressing Common Concerns

Q: What’s the best hairstyle for fine hair in spring weather?
A: Try a textured half-up style or layered braids to add volume and keep strands in place.

Q: Can I skip washing my hair after getting caught in the rain?
A: Yes, but use a dry shampoo to absorb excess moisture and refresh your roots.
