Okay…so we all know, its the end of July/early August and the weather is less than accomdating for our blow outs. Despite my best efforts, the humidity always gets the best of my hair and I end up needing to use more heat styling to touch it up. Do you know of any products that will help keep my hair from frizzing as much. I know it will a little, because thats just the way it is.  But what can I do to keep it from getting out of control?

Humidity. Where does one start?

Well, I typically start off by recognizing that, as you mentioned, July and August, depending on your geographic location, is going to cause a lot of us to go nuts trying to tame the frizz. If I even bother blowing my hair out, which I have not been doing the last few weeks, I start with an anti-frizz product, such as Sleek and Shine, by Garnier Fructise or Frizz Zapper Anti-Frizz Anti-Oil Glosser, which you can pick up at Sally’s.

There are a number of Anti-Frizz products that you can pick up at Sally’s, or any beauty supply that are pretty inexpensive. I usually start with a dime, or quarter size squirt, mixed with my favorite leave-in (ya’ll know it’s CHI Silk Infusion) and start at the ends of my hair, and work my way up to the crown.

Adding an anit-frizz serum has helped to hold down the hair on some really wicked, humid days.  Yes, I still sometimes see frizz and wonder why I bothered pulling out the blower, but when I don’t use it, I actually see a bit of a difference.

Another thing I must add, is that there are times when I know that it’s going to be really humid and I just don’t want to fight against nature. On such days,  rather than doing a dubi, I’ll just work with my hair by using the same anti-frizz-CHI mix and then do a flip-out-curl style instead. This way, my ends are still smooth, but the puffiness actually adds to the style, by giving my hair some body.
