I’ve read everybody’s posts and to be totally honest with you. I’ve lived in CA and Texas. During the humid months in TEXAS there is nothing that will keep curly hair from frizzing up or going back to it’s natural state. Plus, you have to limit any kind of lightning to the hair. I’m not a chemist but water binds to water. The hair is made up of water, protein and dead cells. If your hair is course or dry. It’s going to be unmanageable in humid weather. Plus the heat mixed with humidity will pull any type of moisture out of the hair and make it drier. In other words protect your hair. No alcohol based products. CA weather is very dry, condition, condition, condition! Hope this helps!

Any tips for a girl with lots of long but very fine and somewhat oily hair who is experiencing humidity, frizz, and an odd wave for the first time? How do I restore (for more than half-an-hour) the sleek, shiny, naturally straight strands I had at home in Austin, Texas? Is my only choice to scorch my poor hair with a straightening iron or just give up and look fuzzy ’round the edges? Help, please! I can’t stand the eternal “bedhead” look one day more!!

Well i live in ky sooo….it was really humid this summer and i found it best to just put mousse in my hair (i have naturally curly) It was quick and easy. During the winter i usually straighten cuz that works best for me. :) Oh and if its rainy i also do the mousse cuz it i straighten it, it will kink up!!

Oh I live in extremely humid climate in Dallas, TX and that was a huge issue for me trying to make my hair straight all the time. I tried lots of different products, but you are right – we can’t fight the nature. So I just gave up. Every time I need to wash my hair I check the weather website, if it is going to rain I just don’t torture my hair and make it curly with some muss and that’s it! Nice post!

One thing that works really well for me is to spray static guard on my hair brush and run it through my hair to keep it from going crazy.

I’ve got very curly hair and live in central Florida. It seems to me that the humidity here is my hair’s enemy. I always thought that in humid climates, curly hair frizzed more. Any thoughts?

don’t hate me, but unlike the East coast and the South, where I live in California we have dry heat (very low humidity) so the hair problems above aren’t much of an issue for me. ( <3 California)

My story’s very similar to Kellie’s. I straightened my hair alll through high school. It wasn’t until senior year I managed to learn how to work with my curls. A lot of girls hate having curly hair (as did I in high school), but I think more than half of them hate it simply because they haven’t figured out yet what works best with their curls. Once I found a great leave-in conditioner and anti-frizz serum, I loved my natural curls. Great article!

I stopped fighting my curls at the age of 21 and I have never looked back. Great article, I loved it :)

I think curly girls need super-moisture. So humactants in products is a good thing.
But be careful with the glycerin if you live in a dry climate. Glycerin works by attracting the moisture, if the weather is humid, great! It’ll attract the moisture from air to your hair. But when it’s dry and there is no moisture in the air to “feed” the glycerin, it will suck up your hair’s own moisture and thus leave it dry. ;)
