Make sure your shower "takes"

It’s so damn hot here that even if I play tennis or go for my walk before 9am, I am literally dripping with sweat and my clothes are completely soaked by the time I get home. (TMI?) To make matters worse, when I attempt to blow-dry my hair it’s basically a futile effort because the hot air gets me overheated again—which is especially problematic for the nape of my neck where my hair requires extra attention to get really straight.

I feel like I’m in the Seinfeld episode when George’s shower doesn’t “take.” Fortunately I figured out a solution, and I can’t believe it took me this long. Before I get out of the shower I give myself a COLD rinse from head to toe—and I haven’t had an issue ever since. (BTW, it’s SO refreshing, too!) I hope this tip helps at least one of you survive this crazy “Africa hot” heat and have a good hair day at the same time!
