" \n FRIZZ FIGHTERS  Lock In Extra Hydration   When your strands are dried out, they draw moisture from the air, creating Chia Pet frizz. Jeni Thomas, PhD, a chemist who specializes in hair care, says to combat the problem with a nourishing shampoo. Lather and let suds soak in for an extra minute. Try Herbal Essences Hydralicious Reconditioning Shampoo, $3.99.  If You Can&amp;#039;t Stop It, Style It   On lazy days, make your texture work for you with a half-back do like Pen\u00E9lope Cruz sports. Leave hair loose around your shoulders, and sweep up the puffy portion.  Stand Up for Your Strands   Don&amp;#039;t flip your head upside down when blow-drying. &amp;quot;Although it&amp;#039;s great for volume, doing so also roughs up the cuticle and creates fuzz,&amp;quot; says Christina Cipro, stylist at the New York Blow-Dry Bar. &amp;quot;Instead, stand up, and aim your nozzle downward to keep the shaft sleek.&amp;quot;  Smooth Operators   Silicone products neutralize frizz sans greasy residue. Apply a cream with it (like John Frieda Weather Works Sealant Creme, $5.49) on damp hair, then mist on a spray post-blowdry (try Tresemm\u00E9 No-Frizz Shine Spray, $4.49).   COLOR-SAVING TRICKS  Don&amp;#039;t Dive In Dry   &amp;quot;You might think it&amp;#039;s the chlorine in pools that turns your blond green, but it&amp;#039;s actually the copper in the water,&amp;quot; explains Thomas. If you swim often, apply a leave-in conditioner to block the copper from penetrating your hair cuticle. If you&amp;#039;re just taking a dip, douse your head with water before you jump in so strands won&amp;#039;t soak up as much copper.   Banish Brassiness   Brown hues can turn orange in the sun. Maintain a vibrant shade (think Jennifer Aniston&amp;#039;s) by ensuring strands are hydrated so they&amp;#039;re less likely to fade. Slather on a mask (we like Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask, $6.99, and Redken Color Extend Rich Recovery Treatment, $15) twice a week. If you dye your mane dark, go one shade deeper \u2014 in case the sun lightens your locks, you&amp;#039;ll still have a rich base.  Upgrade Your Stylers   New versions of your go-to products (like mousse, gel, and cream) now come with built-in UV filters to protect your hue, says celeb colorist Rita Hazan. One of our favorites: Sleek Look Blow Down Extreme Cr\u00E9me, $15. Need a DIY option? Water down your sunscreen (nonoily versions work best) until it&amp;#039;s a milky consistency, and pour into a spray bottle. Spritz all over to form a shield.   Take Care of Your Tips   More than any other part of your hair, your ends get beaten and battered when you&amp;#039;re running around in the sun or driving in a car with the top down. To prevent color from fading, tuck your tips under a hat, into a faux bob, or into a looped bun. Then mist on a color-protective hair spray to avoid any further damage. Two good bets: Logics Color DNA System Creative Styling Spray, $18, and L&amp;#039;Or\u00E9al Paris Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hold UV Filter Hairspray, $13.99.  Fix Any Goofs   If you end up with streaky sections, tone them down by applying a semipermanent dye (like L&amp;#039;Or\u00E9al Paris ColorSpa Moisture Actif, $6.49) at home, says Hazan. Leave it on for 5 minutes, then rinse. It&amp;#039;ll dial things down so your overall shade looks more natural.  SHINE BOOSTERS  Degunk Your Gear   Check your curling iron or flatiron. If it has a filmy finish, it&amp;#039;s a good sign that you have buildup on your hair too. Dunk a towel in water mixed with 1/4 cup of baking soda, then wipe down the plates of your tools to keep them clean.   Do a Shine Rinse   Mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with a cup of water, and pour it over dry hair, recommends celeb stylist Charles Baker Strahan. Follow up with a cool shower. The acidity in vinegar breaks down environmental residue (like dirt, pollution, and smoke) to help tired strands look glossy again.   Rely on Nature&amp;#039;s Superstars   Damaged strands make hair appear flat, hair doctor Philip Kingsley explains. Certain botanicals, like cassia, help strands lie smoothly, so you get megawatt shine la Freida Pinto. Find them in drugstore picks like Pantene&amp;#039;s Nature Fusion line.   Wash Without Water  Excess product is the number one culprit for dull locks, according to Kingsley. Apply shampoo to dry strands (since water forms a barrier between hair and cleansing agents), then rinse. Doing so helps remove any leftover stylers.   FINISHING TOUCHES  Add Life to Limp Hair   Fine locks can fall flat on sweaty days. Counteract this by applying mousse in the a.m. (try L&amp;#039;Or\u00E9al Paris Vive Pro Glossy Style Glossy Volume Mousse, $4.99). If you need a p.m. boost, don&amp;#039;t glob on more product, since that can weigh down hair. Instead, mix warm water with a teaspoon of sugar (a natural body builder) in a spray bottle, says Strahan. Shake, then mist all over. The sugar will reactivate what you applied earlier, giving you sexy texture, like Molly Sims shows off here.   Cut the Grease   If your scalp gets as oily as your nose does, do a weekly remedy. Dip your brush into a cup of cornstarch (it aids oil absorption), and run it through strands. Wait 10 minutes. Your hair will soak up most of the cornstarch, but run a comb through afterward to remove any leftover particles. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
