4. BROWLLER COASTER

And your waterproof mascara finishes and sets them in place.

5. THE FRIZZGATE
Frizzy hair is the macaroni to our cheesy-corny rains. It doesn’t spare straight, smooth locks let alone grisly-willies. So never step out without a frizz-fighter like an anti-frizz serum or anti-frizz sprays. Banish the brush and let your natural waves take over. No matter what, don’t pull up or braid over your wet locks. When all else fails, go big with the wet look with extra shine and mousse.
