Experts share their tips for taming hair that’s out of control.

Sure, there are worse things in life, but let’s face it, having a bad hair day can make you downright cranky. Whether you’ve got the frizzies, fine hair, dry hair, or just haven’t had a chance to wash your hair, when your crowning glory is misbehavin’ it can ruin even the best of times.

But before you reach for that baseball cap — or worse yet those sewing shears — there’s something you should know: You can turn bad hair days into, well, stylishly acceptable days, with far less effort that you think.

Where do you start? According to Beverly Hills hairdresser Nick Chavez, it all begins with a great haircut.

“Get the very best haircut you can afford, because in the end, it’s the cut that determines how easy your hair will be to style. And a good one can go a long way in helping you avoid a bad hair day,” says Chavez, whose line of Perfect Plus hair care products are sold in his salon and on QVC.
