Hot weather, frizzy hair
Q: I'm getting married outdoors this summer. How can I keep my curly hair frizz-free?
A: Start by using a deep conditioner once a week. Leave it on for at least 15 minutes and then rinsing with coot water to seal the cuticles. The more you can rub the product through your hair from the roots to the ends, the more ef­fective it will be in controlling frizz. When blow-drying, don't keep going over the same section of dry hair. Over­working it will only make it frizzier. To set the style, spritz hair spray into your hand and mix it with a mois­turizing cream that adds a bit of shine. A quick fix for wedding-day fly­aways? Plain old tap water. Smooth a bit over your hair. It'll reactivate the products you're already wearing.

Keep your eyes looking young
Q: I just had my first facial. The aesthetician applied an eye cream. Should I be using one every day? I'm only in my 20s.
Because the skin underneath the eye is very delicate and gets thinner over time, it's never too soon to stimulate collagen in that area, especially if you're noticing fine lines, we recommend using any product with glycolic acid; a facial mois­turizer will do. What's good for the un­der-eye area tends to be good for the skin in general. Other ingredients to look for: vitamin C and copper deriva­tives, which have been shown to be ef­fective, and to help reduce sun damage.

Red nail polish
Q: I usually wear red nail polish. Is it ap­propriate for my wedding day?
A: There's nothing wrong with a little drama on your digits, but you do have to expect people to fixate on your fingers if you choose a fire-engine hue. Nine-inch nails? It's a band, not a look for brides, so show up at the ceremony with well-groomed and -trimmed nails. For glamour without flashiness, consider the subtle shine of a soft metallic polish.
