I live in SE VA and we have had the hottest, most humid summer and fall.  My hair is fine and is a disaster!  It is flat in some places and wavy in others.  UGH...anyone else?

Re: Humidity and Hair!

[ Edited ]

I am right there with you.   I would not mind if mine got really curly or wavy but it is wavy in some spots, straight in some, and curly in other spots.  And of course, there is just plain old frizzy too.

 

  I have worn my hair on the shorter side for years and it is now the longest it has been in a long time.  I can now actually put it in a ponytail or believe it or not,  a french twist.  A messy french twist, but a french twist nonetheless.    I did try a keratin treatment a few years back and I did like it but I color my hair and I am afraid to use multiple processes.  So I have just learned to live with it.

I let my hair grow out during the fall/winter/spring months before shaving it off for the summer.

 

As my hair is growing back, I use Alberto Vo 5 & never look back.  I was cursed w/curly & wavy hair.  And now that it's turning grey, the grey hairs does what it wants.  Humidity makes no difference.

I can now rock a pony tail as well as a french twist too.  However, the grey hairs are dancing all over the place & the humidity is of no help!  To tame the gray, I wear a prison wave cap over night.  Works like a charm

I moved from CA (so dry) to WA so wet.  Torture.  Terrible hair days.  Had to grow my bangs out, not possible to have them.

I live in the South and have long fine hair. I've been using Living Proof PRIME after shampooing and towel drying-works perfectly.

My hairdresser said she was impressed by the ingredient deck.

 

I'm impressed by no frizzies and keeping a smooth hairstyle. We have 84% humidity today.

I used Living Proof's No Frizz line when it first came out, used it for a little over a year, and it REALLY dried out my fine hair.  I was blowdrying my hair though (always do), which may have caused that effect on me - I note that you do not.   I LOVED it at first, so just be careful over time.

Perhaps I'll try their PRIME product and see if I get a better result.

In addition to my post below regarding the Living Proof, I too am a Wen girl - but Wen and all its products and proper method of use still does not remedy the frizz issue of humidity and my fine hair.  It's better for sure, but additional products are necessary in the summer months here in New York.

I live in the desert and don't have any problem.  I have thick, wavy hair and did nicely even in humidity.

Lucky you!  Living Proof Prime didn't work.  Nothing works on mine!! I'm in humid Indiana!
