When the humidity is high and your hair is lacking moisture, the first thing you are going to attract is moisture. If your hair is already hydrated, it will not not need to absorb the moisture in the air, avoiding that dreaded frizz.

For better control and added moisture, we recommend in using a multi-benefit leave in conditioner, such as Davines Oi Milk that will lock in moisture, enhance shine and increase manageability to natural hair textures.

Keeping your hair under control in humid weather is not an easy task. If you have fine hair humidity can contribute to oiliness, stringiness and limpness. If you have textured hair humidity can amplify frizz, volume and flyaways. Either way, managing any hairstyle in humidity is an art.

Washing your hair less frequently will help to encourage your body's own natural oils to coat the cuticle for added control.
