If you are having problems with taming your frizzy hair during summer months, keep reading to find out how with some expert help, anything can be managed.

Barbara Abbasi, a Santa Monica-based American Beauty Hair Salon owner, expert colorist and inventor of the Ferrum Professional Styler, has provided some great tips to help tame summer frizz:

Cut It Out—Don’t Go Short

Though the scorching summer heat will have you ready to shorten those locks, keep your hair long. Short hair is more likely to bulk up in hot humid weather. So save the new do for a humid-free season like Fall. Leave those locks long!

Showering Your Routine with Changes

To make sure you steer clear of summer frizz, do not over wash your hair. Try changing your regular routine. Natural oils will help tame your hair. Also, use a good conditioner and leave it on for a while before rinsing. When rinsing, leave a very light layer in your hair to help combat frizz. Add a small amount moisture block to your towel dried hair. Change it up!

Using the Right Tools

It is all in the tools. Using the right tools can quickly tame and rid you of a “hairy situation”. My recommendation is the Ferrum Professional Styler and I assure you it's like no tool you've ever used. What makes Ferrum different? One part non-heated padded fabric element and one part tourmaline coated ceramic plate. The real distinction of this tool is the fabric padded side. The fabric is a combination of lightweight, anti-static polymers that allows the hair to "breathe" while straightening. The Ferrum styler will allow your hair to retain more of its natural moisture and shine, while eliminating frizz.

Steer Clear of Hair Volumizing Products

Stay away from products that give you more volume and body, resulting in summer frizz. Go light on the products and do your research!

Shift Your Focus

The clock is ticking. It is almost 8:30 a.m. And you are nowhere near ready for work. Sometimes, the solution is to shift your focus. Put your hair in an elegant twist and play up your makeup or those fabulous long earrings you recently purchased. Channel your inner Lauren Conrad and quickly section a part of your hair, braid it and create a messy bun. Play up your outfit to match your look.
