Warm weather brings many great things with it (think: sunshine! cocktails! pedicures!) but also increases the chances of a slick hairstyle quickly turning into a frizzy mess. Humidity relaxes the hair cuticle, making it more likely to expand into Einstein-worthy proportions. No need to worry though! Just like the earlier-than-anticipated warm temperatures, we’re ahead of the game with a rundown of five of the best anti-frizz hair products. From brand new creations to old favourites, we have you (and your hair) covered.

What am I supposed to do when I can’t put down the flat iron but my hair is certifiably “fried”?
Hold up, are you trying to tell me you’re addicted to your flat iron? Because that would make you just like the rest of us! I sympathize with your inability to give up the heat styling—how else are you supposed to smooth your fringe or keep rouge curls at bay?

I used to have dark hair but it’s turning grey—should I invest the time and money to dye it regularly, or embrace the change and go grey with grace?
Keep it! Grey hair is totally on trend—Kristen McMenamy recently wore it on the cover of Italian Vogue. Besides, we’re calling bluff on the common complaint that grey hair is more coarse and brittle than its pigmented cousin—softness and manageability comes with proper care, and that begins in the shower.

Our annual giveaway begins on Monday, September 12th! You’ll find lots of great prizes throughout our October issue, on newsstands September 6th.

This week, we take you inside the zipped croc Marc by Marc Jacobs purse belonging to our lovely beauty editor, Sarah Daniel. She claims that the bag was her first foray into grownup shopping, but we find that hard to believe, given her assortment of beautiful and hard-to-find products, like a sample bottle of perfume that’s got its creator’s handwritten labelling. Oh, and that book she’s reading? The recommendation came from India Hicks. No biggie.

We know, right? Getting work done instead of going to a party? Scandale.  [Grazia]
