Hi ladies,  I am looking for your tips on maintaining a decent hair style in humid weather!  I'm happy with my Paul Mitchell products, but am attending an outdoor wedding on July 5th.... and I know it will be a humid day with my luck!  I'd like to wear my hair down, but may have to put it in a casual updo.  My hair is thin and a bit wavy, and I usually pull it back when it's too humid.  Any suggestions for hairspray or finishing cream?  Thanks in advance!

There are lots of products to prevent frizz. Unfortunately I have forgotten most of them because I went with my natural curl a few years ago. My only problem with those products and a flat iron was I like a little curl on the ends and I felt like I could not have both. The anti frizz products once I blow dried my hair and smoothed the top out with a flat iron made the curls I tried to add to the ends fall out. So I would suggest looking for anti frizz and smooth words in the products and a flat iron. I live in a very humid climate btw so I know what you're dealing with.

Try Aveda smooth infusion™ style-prep smoother - , I copied it to insure I gave you the right name, i have used this for YEARS, don't let the name fool you, I curl my hair so it's not "smooth" and it helps keep my curls all day even with humidity. I also use the Aveda anti humidity hairspray after I finish styling

@SandGirl awesome!  thank you for the suggestion!  What you describe is what I plan to do... keep some of my waves, but I just need to keep them under control and locked in!  At least for pictures.... after that, who knows what it will look like!  Appreciate your help!

I live in SE coastal GA (I know humid too well, LOL!)

I've bought so many products (drug store and expensive for frizz that never did much until I tried Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Intensely Smooth Leave In Conditioning Cream.

After shampooing and towel dry, I squirt about a penny size amount in my hand (my hair is mid-back/fine, rub hands together and finger comb through my hair , followed by wide tooth comb to help distribute.

It doesn't take much and it doesn't weigh down my fine hair.

Once I found it, I've used it for years.

@Knit-Chick  Frizz is the pits, but usually unavoidable. What works best for me, don't like a lot of product buildup, is a plain old dryer sheet. Rub it through you hair or press it through the bristles of a rubber bristled brush and then brush through before/after styling. 

For any of these suggestions, I'd do a practice session & not wait until the day OF. No humidity? Turn the shower on hot and stand around there a few minutes to see what works for your hair. 

Frizzies or not, have a great time.

@Knit-Chick  Hi! I have 2 products that work great for me. I have fine hair but since I have moved to fl. its so humid most of the year & if outdoors becomes a frizz poof!   " Amika the Shield its an anti-humiidity spray & a heat protectant". You use it on damp hair before blow drying.        I also have Living Proof No Frizz Instant De Frizzor on dry hair, spray & then smooth it our with your hands. You need very little of the one. I use that more often these day because I have not blow dryed my hair often at all. Both work well for fine & all hair types. I bought mine at Sephora. hth & have a good time.

I have very thick wavy hair that loves to respond to humidity.

I do use a flat iron and I use a spray that will protect the hair from heat.

I also use Living Proof leave in anti frizz creame.
