With the imminent arrival of the Amy storm this Friday, October 3, 2025, the weather conditions will deteriorate on a large part of the northwest of France. This depression, described as “meteorological bomb” due to its rapid pressure drop, will bring gusts of wind up to 80 km/h, accompanied by low to moderate rain, according to BFMTV.
1. The braid: an timeless classic

The braid is an ally of choice in windy weather. She keeps the hair in place and limits frizz. Opt for a classic braid, an ear braid or an African braid, depending on your style.
Beauty tip: for a more chic effect and prevent wicks from escaping, fix the braid with a small transparent elastic and a little fixing spray. Even the strongest gusts will find it difficult to undo this type of hairstyle.
2. Low bun: elegant and efficient

The low bun is perfect for wind days. Positioned in the hollow of the nape, it protects the lengths and the face. You can make it simple or slightly blurred for a more natural and modern effect.
The secret to hold it all day: use solid pliers and a light fixing spray. This style works for both the desktop and for a chic outing, while keeping your hair under control.
3. The Half-Up Hair for a controlled aerial style

The half-chignon or half-up hair allows you to clear the face while keeping part of the hair attached, which limits the “crazy wick” effect in the wind. This style combines elegance and practicality.
For optimal support: favor accessories like bars or small hair elastic bands. A little light lacquer on the roots ensures maximum hold, even in gusts.
4. The scarf or bandana, the accessory that changes everything

In addition to its trendy side, the scarf or the bandana is a real shield against the wind. It allows you to protect your hair while adding a stylish touch to your outfit.
Look idea: Wrap a silk scarf around a bun or tie it on your released hair. You instantly get a retro and practical style, which prevents the wind from removing everything.
5. Short hairstyles: minimize the damage

If you have short hair, you are less confronted with frizz and rebel locks. However, the wind can still create unwanted volume. Texture hairstyles with a little wax or styling foam allow you to keep a controlled style.
Light brushing with fixing spray can also help discipline the wicks, while giving a natural and dynamic effect. Pixie or bob cuts are ideal for combining style and practicality on wind days.
