While rainy days are ideal if you have plans to veg out on the couch, if you’re out and about, it can be a real drag. Our shoes get soaked, our clothes end up damp, and don’t even get us started on our hair. Wearing your hair down in the rain tends to be a big mistake. Whether you curl your hair or straighten it, it’s pretty much guaranteed to frizz up or fall flat. Fortunately there are a number of hairstyles that will make it through the storm (pun intended). From updos to braids to wet hair looks, here are 11 rainy day hairstyles for all hair lengths.

3. Slick Back Braided Ponytail
This hairstyle combines two elements that work really well in the rain. First, the fact that the hair is slicked back will keep the top of your hair from getting frizzy.
