Curl power
Whether you’re looking to rein in free-spirited curls or breathe life into droopy ones, moisturizing Redken Fresh Curls Spring Mousse ($14.95 at salons) keeps hair looking fresh (and naturally lively) all day long.

Shine secret
It’s a fact: Summer brings out the worst in hair. But you can keep poofiness at bay by using a lightweight, nongreasy shine spray that won’t weigh down strands. One to try: Tresemmé No-Frizz Shine Spray ($3.99; drugstores and retailers).
