Hairspray for a Humid Climate?

joviolin — Sun, 13 Sep 2020 15:50:20 GMT

I know there have been hairspray threads prior to this one, but I'm hoping for more suggestions. Anyways, I recently moved from Colorado (cold and dry) to Texas (hot and humid). I'm looking for a nonsticky, high-holding hairspray that works in humidity. My previous hairspray (Big Sexy Hair Spray & Play) doesn't seem to be doing the job with hold when the weather is humid. I found another hairspray that holds well (Got2b High Insta Hold), but it is sticky, and I hate the way it makes my hair feel.

My hair is chin-length and I like to wear it flipped out, so I do rely on a good hairspray every day. Any suggestions you have for such are greatly appreciated!

Have you ever tried Kenra 25 Volume Spray? It is strong holding and will hold up quite a while in Humidity - you can read reviews on Ulta or Amazon

Oribe anti-humidity hair spray that shields hair from frizz on the sultriest of days and nights, protecting everything from sleek blowouts to perfect curls. A finishing hair spray meets anti-humidity spray, this formula is Miami-approved to create hold and light texture in even the most humid climates.

I'm in NYC - hot and humid summer ..... I swear by Tresemme Extra Firm Control .... the one with the four stars on the can. It says "all day humidity resistance."

I would choose a different hairlstyle. Instead of trying to go against the conditions, I'd rather work with them and avoid the daily chemicals.

Frizzy hair is the WORST.

THIS is all you need. It is Houston humid worthy! WEN Finishing Treatment Spray!

I could swear myy hair frizzes just looking out the window on a humid day. And today is one of those days. BUT....I just got back from a couple of errands including BJ's which for some reason has one of the windiest parking lots this side of the Mississippi. My hair blew all over the place, I almost was airborne, BUT my hair didn't frizz.

Used Pantene Air Spray (yes Air not Hair). It's an alcohol free hairspray. It's a number 4 Extra Strong Hold. That's bull cause like I said my hair became a whirlygig but NO FRIZZ.

Weird how all our hair is diff. Wen Finishing spray will not hold my curls, even in mornal humidity and layering it until it's a little "crunchy" by mid day and if I touch my hair a few times my curls are limp and by the end of the day they look horrid, when I go to work I do not want to have to reapply during teh day, I like to spray in the morning and be done with it. This Wen does not do that for me and it's so expensive to not work well. Smells nice though...

@joviolin I went from hard holding icky hairsprays (hated washing all of this hair every day) and got a light perm to hold my style.

Works like a charm. I can be out in a drizzle to get to the car, no problem!

@joviolin Check out Aveda's Control Force hair spray that has Humidity Defense. Read the reviews. It is their strongest hold hair spray and is excellent for humid days.

SandGirl — Sun, 13 Sep 2020 21:09:52 GMT

@Katcat1 I totally agree, great spray but you really have to get used to the smell, I've even had people around me notice the smell and if it gets wet it reallys smells but if you can get past that, it's a great hairspray. IT for sure will interfer with a perfume.

Coincidentally yesterday I was thinking about this same topic. Has anyone used Elnett hair spray, a brand that has been around for many years?

I believe this is the brand recommended by Dominique Sachse who has a utube beauty channel. She is a news anchor in Houston, TX - where it is hot n humid - and she raves about this product. Her tip is to spray from underneath, never spray on top.

Here on the east coast, humidity hovers around 85-90% in summer, with high dew points (think sweat when sitting still). I have thick wavy,hair that hits the base of my neck and it stays nice and wavy with WEN finishing treatment spray or the Sebastian line of Shaper Plus hairsprays also work great. WEN is the best, but when I run out, I use the Sebastian. Thats when I haven't decided to just pull it up in a top knot which is where it’s been most of the summer🥵

I have been using this hairspray this whole summer, and it has worked beautifully! Very very nice! I also use a bit of their serum as well, very nice brand and it works. Previously I was using Living Proof, but I think they have changed the formulation, it didn't work as well as it had in the past!

Second the Tresemme Humidity.Blue label.

@jellyBEAN- Your tip (per Dominique S.) of applying hairspray under hair is genious! I tried it with the hairspray I have on hand and my hair is much less crunchy and seems to keep its shape better. It makes sense that hairspray sitting on top of hair would be weighed down by humidity, thus losing hold.

At any rate, thanks so much for this simple, yet excellent, tip!

P.S. I am now hooked on Dominique's YouTube videos. I had previously watched some without really knowing who she was. She is ultra professional and offers great advice on a plethora of topics!
