Hate Humidty? So Does Your Hair: Tips for Keeping Every Hair
in Place

Humidity is SO not a girl?s best friend. When it comes to
heat, we often dread what will happen to our makeup but what
about our hair? Humidity in extreme temperatures has the power
to turn the most sculpted hairstyle into a flat dud. Planning
on traveling to humid temperatures or even relocating? Then
you?ll want to make sure you know how to style your hair so
that it works with the weather instead of against it - your
tresses will thank you!

In case you weren?t aware, humidity is a major enemy when it
comes to hair. Even just a few minutes in humid weather can
turn any hair type into the ugliest version of itself. For
example, exposing straight hair to humidity results in limp,
flat hair that tends to stick to the scalp like a second skin.
Curly hair types in humid weather transforms into a huge,
frizzy mess, as if each strand of hair is trying to run away.
The bottom line: it ain?t pretty. So what is the solution?
While you can?t change the weather, you can teach your hair
to adapt to its new environment. This means finding suitable
hairstyles that work with the humidity.

The easiest hairstyle to pull on in humid weather is a
ponytail. Don?t want to sport a boring style? These days
ponytails are anything but boring. You can wear a ponytail
high for a voluminous effect or low for a sleeker style. Pair
it with fringe bangs or create a side part and wear your long
bangs in a sexy, sweeping style that goes across your forehead
and tucked behind your ear. Dress it up with hair accessories
or tease it up for a wild look. Women that want to wear their
hair down with no worries should look into getting a long
layered cut. This popular hairstyle works well with humidity
because it is less prone to becoming frizzy. This style is
ideal for straight hair. To keep your long, layered tresses
in place, you?ll want to purchase a hair product that contains
anti frizz properties and antihumectants, which are specially
formulated to fight humidity. This same hair type can also
benefit from braiding their hair before going out in humid
weather. Braids keep each strand in place and prevent frizzy
or limp hair. There are tons of braided hairstyles available,
which can be found online. You can choose braids that are sexy
and sleek or funky and fun.

Women with shorter hair will have the toughest time making
their hairstyle work with humid weather. Because there is less
hair to work with, chances are you may not be able to pull your
hair back into a ponytail. However, you can try a textured cut
that works for your hair length that will cut down on frizz
when outdoors. Another possible solution is to purchase hair
care products that are designed to tackle humidity while
keeping your tresses in place. Check out hair care products
with voluminizing formulas. Also add a reliable holding spray
that contains voluminizing ingredients and antihumectants as
well as a serum that contains silicone to smooth tresses down
and fight frizz. However, it is important that you avoid
putting too many products into your hair at once. Excess
residue from hair care products attracts humidity and can
cause your hair to fall flat fast. So only use your hair care
products as needed.
