Every summer, I turn to the same checklist: Dig those old shorts out of the back of my closet, remember to hydrate more, and (most importantly) switch my skin care routine. As a person with super sensitive skin, my daily lineup is pretty short—once I find a product I like, I tend to stick with it.

But this year I feel a heightened sense of urgency around finding the best hairspray for extra hold and zero frizz. Before the Chicago humidity set in, I’d optimistically RSVP’d to a series of invites for alfresco benefits, riverside dinners, and cocktails on the terrace.
