How to Keep Your Hair From Frizzing in Humid & Rainy Weather
Humid and rainy weather can ruin a hairstyle. After you spent an hour styling your hair, it becomes frizzy and unmanageable the moment you step outside. This can be especially frustrating if you have somewhere important to go, such as a job interview or dinner engagement. Humid weather can affect even those who normally have straight and manageable hair. While you can't change the weather, you can alter your hair routine in humid weather to prevent frizzy strands. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Keep your hair's texture as it is. If your hair is naturally wavy or curly, don't try to straighten it with a flat iron. When the humidity is high, the moisture in the air will undo anything you attempt to do with a flat iron or curling iron.

Wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo to get rid of buildup and repel moisture. If you don't have a clarifying shampoo, mix 1 tbsp. of baking soda with 1 cup of water, and rinse your hair out with it.

Condition your hair with leave-in conditioner and gel. Use 3/4 part gel to 1 part conditioner to reduce frizz. Before you put the mixture in your hair, apply it to one strand to make sure you don't get any flakes.

Allow your hair to dry naturally. Gently pat your hair with a towel after you've washed it instead of rubbing it. If you must dry your hair with a blow dryer, use the diffuser attachment.

Apply a silicon-based styling product to your hair. Using a product that contains silicon will enhance shine and prevent frizz in humid weather.
