Hair can have a mind of its own when humidity is high.
You might be on a vacation or you live in a high humidity
climate, hot days should be about enjoying the warm weather —not having bad
hair days.
Whether your hair likes to pouf, frizz, or kink, here are
some products, tips and tricks that will help combat the humidity and make your
frizz-free dreams a reality.
Great Products
Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray is a weightless, long-lasting hairspray that
doesn’t leave a sticky texture and it is rich in vitamins to help strengthen the
hair.
Amika’sThe Shield Anti-Humidity Spray is great because Amika products
always deliver. This spray gets into the hairs' cuticle to form an invisible
anti-frizz, anti-humidity shield. The Best Defense for humidity.
SheaMoistureJamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen, Grow & Restore Hair Serum
is excellent if your hair is on the
thick or coarse side. Oils and Shea Butter will help to keep frizz to a minimum
and ensure hair remains healthy. The serum also helps soften the hair and draw
out impurities and toxins.
DIY Products
Anti-humidity Lotion
Mixing Coconut Oil and whipped Shea Butter is a great anti-humidity
treatment because Coconut oil is light making this lotion suitable for all hair
types. Whipped Shea butter is excellent for keeping the frizz down making hair
healthy and shiny. It is also great for hair that is chemically treated and bleached.
It is very nourishing and a little bit goes a long way. This can be used on dry
skin and hands as well.
Sea Salt Spray
Mix together 1 teaspoon Sea Salt and 1 teaspoon Coconut Oil
with water for a great DIY Sea Salt Spray. Sea sprays are always popular in
summer and it could not be easier to make your own. Sea salt is great for oily
hair as it naturally pulls out oil and moisture. Adding Coconut Oil to this
spray helps to counteract the drying effects of the salt, you can add a small
amount of oil directly to the hair for extra conditioning protection.
Tips and Tricks
- Always remember a little product can go a long way,
doubling up on a strong hold hairspray may seem like a good idea to keep your
hair in place, but it will backfire as soon as the hair gets heavy from the
humidity.
- I've learned when it comes to humidity, your hairstyle should
be based on your natural hair texture, if your hair is naturally straight,
don't choose a wavy hairstyle on a humid day or if your hair is thick and wavy,
don't straighten your hair, because it will end up a frizzy mess.
- Master a go-to hairstyle for pulling your hair back on a
humid day. I wear my hair up a lot in the summertime.
If I’m dressed up a bit, I like to pull my hair back into a side
braid or ponytail and loosen a few hairs around my face to make it feel a bit
dressed up.
If it’s a casual day, I’m more likely to throw it up into a
messy bun. My favorite hair ties are GoodyOuchless Clear Elastics.

want to learn how to pull your hair back into a pretty messy bun, side braid or
ponytail!
