Helping Summer Hair

“I hate my hair,” is a lament Matt Hudson frequently hears as customers plop into his chair.
 
But as the co-owner of the new Annapolis salon, Hudson & Fouquet, just grins and offers simple advice.
 
For one, Hudson, formerly of Glow and Morgan-Gerard salons, says that face shape is not the binding rule for selecting a haircut; otherwise, people would wear the same hairstyle for life.
 
Instead, he suggests, match your hairstyle to your lifestyle. “If you have a babysitter and an hour to get ready, there’s no problem, but where do you get the time every other day?” he asks.
 
Hudson offers these tips for the best do:

• What do you focus on when you look in the mirror? Love your cheekbones? Your haircut should accentuate them. Hate your jaw line? Select a style that draws attention away from it.
• Nearly everyone can wear bangs. The style now is long and swept to the side, not straight down.
• Don’t stop blow drying your hair before it’s dry. If you’re short on time, air dry your hair, then spend 10 minutes fixing it. Save brushing and blow drying for last.
• If you want your hair to do something that it won’t do on its own (be full if it’s flat, or straight if it’s curly), use a styling product designed for that result while your hair is wet. If you can get your hair styled, but it won’t stay that way, add a product with hold, like gel, mousse or hair spray.
• Humidity makes curly hair frizzy. If you live in Maryland in the summer and you have curly hair, wash it, scrunch in a curl cream, and leave it alone. Touching it makes it frizzy.
