The worst part about winter weather is it makes your hair more susceptible to tangling and matting (especially underneath your favorite fuzzy hat). Thankfully there are a few tricks you can do to keep your strands of hair in place. Quai makes a Smooth Spray ($26) that you apply while hair is damp to help keep it from frizzing and tangling – plus it's a heat protectant for when you use your hairdryer. If you suffer from flat hair then pick up a bottle of Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray ($46). The hefty price tag is worth it as it not only smells great (almost as good as perfume) but a few spritzes will give your hair plenty of body and bounce.
