Frizzy hair is one of the unfortunate side effects of summer. Luckily, we have frizz-fighting solutions from stylist Josue Perez<\/a>. He is the stylist for big name celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker<\/a>, Karlie Kloss<\/a>, Abigail Breslin<\/a>, Cameron Diaz <\/a>and Rosario Dawson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are Perez’s seven foolproof tips for getting sleek and smooth blowouts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. When you get out of the shower, towel dry hair 50%, leaving it still half-wet.\u00a0 Hair has \u201cporosity\u201d so the leftover dampness\/moisture help close hair pores giving it natural shine when blow dryer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. After towel drying, never forget to use a heat protectant spray. Try the It\u2019s a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product<\/a>. It protects against heat damage but will never weigh down the hair.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Ionic blow\u00a0dryers are crucial to not just frizz-free blowouts, but they also protect the hair. I use the Rowenta Inspiration Pro Dryer<\/a> when styling because it cuts drying time up to 20% without using too much heat. The ionic generators protect hair from styling damage and seal in cuticle for fast, frizz-free results.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Using a concentrator on the blow dryer allows you to control the air direction, giving you a smother look.\u00a0 Without the concentrator, the dryer will puff the hair cuticle, leading to frizz.\n

            \n
          1. Use a smaller ceramic round brush.\u00a0 The smaller brushes will achieve tighter curls and help the style last much longer.\u00a0 Also, ceramic brushes lock in more heat and they stay heated longer for a styling bonus, unlike wood brushes, which loose heat faster.\u00a0Try the Moroccanoil Ceramic Ionic Round Brush<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

             <\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Most people don’t know how\/when\/why to use it, but when you blow-dry your hair, you\u2019re essentially opening the cuticle allowing it to form (style) in any shape. (Open cuticle = frizz).\u00a0 So, when hair is dry and wrapped around the brush, finish it off with a shot of cold air. When you remove the brush and it\u2019s slightly tougher to pull out, that means cuticle is sealed in the shape of that brush (frizz-free).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Take a break if you have to and practice! So many people give up halfway and say it\u2019s too much to do. It’s good to do as much as you can and go do something else that you have to do. When you come back to it, you will feel more eager to finish it and once you love the results you will become a pro.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
