How to Style Long, Wavy Hair on Humid Days
Long and wavy hair gets curly, frizzy and large on humid days. Adding products to your hair to prevent the frizz only makes your hair look dirty and greasy (and curly and frizzy). If you want to style your long, wavy hair without any frizz or curl, the best thing you can do is straighten it. The straightener will give your hair the smooth, silky look you want without it getting frizzy from the humidity. Does this Spark an idea?
