Beat-the-heat hair accessories

These pretty add-ons keep you cool while ensuring you look gorgeous to boot. Find the best one for your hair length!

Short hair?

A cool-to-the touch satin headband won’t create added heat on the scalp, plus it lifts shorter strands away from a sweaty forehead. Bonus: The headband “plumps up” hair for a more voluminous-looking mane.

Medium hair?

The height created by tying a hair “cuff” around the base of a half-up, half-down style keeps mid-length strands propped up and off of the brow so the breeze can blow onto the scalp and face. What’s more, a metallic cuff pulls focus upward for an instant face-lift effect.

Long hair?

Pulling longer locks into a high ponytail creates a fan-like effect that keeps the neck cool, and securing it with a microfiber towel scrunchie (its absorbent material sops up sweat on the scalp) helps hair stay clean and dry. Plus, it can also be wrapped around wet hair to soak up water and speed up drying time. One to try: Volo The Scrunchies
