@Knit-Chick If you'll go to youtube and look up Justin Hickox, he has great videos on problems.

 

He grew up in a salon and has done hair for 25 years.

I have VERY difficult hair. It's type 2C, coarse, wiry, super dry and porous, so it pulls in any hint of humidity. I have tried literally everything including WOW dream coat, Living Proof and 50 other products sitting in my cabinet. 
The only thing that works for me ( other than a $200 salon keratin treatment, which does work)., Is : I completely wet it, dripping, finger comb out any snarls, I use a small amount of moisturizing leave in (Kevin Murphy), then the hold comes from a strong gel- I like LA Looks, sport gel, but any strong gel should hold back humidity. Apply evenly, amount depends on length, mine is shoulder and I use a dime size, Scrunch it in, and DON'T TOUCH your hair all day!  This is the only thing that holds my hair against humidity. The gel doesn't make it crunchy, the texture is ok. Good luck- HTH!

In my experience, I have tried it all and literally nothing works. I have naturally curly hair that I blow straight. No matter the routine, products etc it always gets frizzy. Fact of life.

I love Aveda's Anti Humectant creme, a tiny bit works to keep your hair from frizzing and keeps it shiny as well. Also I used to like, haven't bought it in a long time Living Proof Anti Humidity Spray, it really worked well, works like a hairspray, but keeps humidity away.

Living Proof makes a product called Restore Smooth Blowout Concentrate that works really well for my thick, coarse, wavy hair. Don't be fooled by the small size. It only requires a very small amount and does a very nice job of keeping the hair tamed. Tweakd also something called Chiuri Butter Limitless Super Cream Styler.This is made of very natural ingredients and also works great. However for super thick hair I think the Living Proof does a better job of giving a sleek look.

After reading all these helpful suggestions, it occurs to me that it totally depends on the type of hair you have!  Curl pattern, texture, porosity, there are a lot of factors, ... What is successful for some clearly doesn't work for all -   I will try some of these also ! Thanks to all!
