Why spend all that time styling your hair if the rain is just going to ruin all your hard work? Plan ahead to avoid any unpleasant surprises by checking the weather forecast before leaving the house. Expecting rain? Here are 5 styles to choose from to keep your hair looking perfectly styled all day long!


The braid. To tame your hair and stay trendy, the braid is a perfect choice for long or mid-length hair. This style will stay in place even if the rain peeps out during the day. Apply an anti-frizz serum to dry hair and brush through, pulling it to one side. Now separate into three sections and braid to the ends.


The wet look. Slick, wet-look hairstyles are perfect on rainy days! This effect is created using a styling gel, which must be applied sparingly to stop your hair looking greasy. Heat the product in your hands then run through your hair, avoiding the roots and focusing on the ends, pulling your hair back. A perfect style for short hair.


The ponytail. Your perfectly straightened hair, pulled back into a ponytail, will withstand any meteorological hardship! Start by straightening your hair, blow-dried in advance, then spray hairspray onto a comb and brush through. This will get rid of any frizz and keep your hair in place. For an ultra-trendy style, pull your hair into a low ponytail with a side-parting.


Wavy hair. For a hairstyle you can rely on come rain or shine, go for wavy or messy-look hair. For a natural result, apply a styling mousse to wet hair to add texture. Then blow-dry, working your fingers through your hair. A style that is deliberately dishevelled and ready to face the rain.


The ballerina bun. Let no hair out of place and you can be sure of surviving the rain in style. A strict, slick chignon is perfect. Smoothen your hair and pull it back into a high ponytail, now create your chignon. Roll the lengths around your hair band and secure in place with hair pins. Spray a layer of hairspray over the style when you’re done.
