How to Deal With Wavy Hair in the Heat

Humidity is the worst thing ever, but there are ways to avoid messy hair. These products work with the elements to ensure that your waves don’t become unruly. A mask once a week, some very excellent new sprays, a little hair oil…this summer, your hair will be all good.

Deep Conditioning

To start, nothing is going to go right for you without deep conditioning. Once a week, throw on a mask.

Oil Treatment

This is a cure-all for coarse, wavy hair. It tames, softens and defrizzes.

A Perfect Mess

It smells like the beach and makes you look like you just came back. Plus, it gives you major shine.

Oil

Put a little of this (not too much) on wet hair, braid it and then sleep on it. In the morning your waves will be NICE.

Surf Spray

Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray is an old favorite. It's made with salt water that dirties up the hair—it'll give those waves extra texture.

This is so misleading. I have very curly hair and was hoping for some homemade or natural solution to the humidity frizz. I did not think it was an advertisement for the latest "product". Give us a break and a few hints.

Thanks

What about used motor oil?

Doesn't that stop hair from frizzing?

Let me tell you...this is BS!!! YOU DONT NEED ALL THESE EXPENSIVE PRODUCTS!!! I'm 57 years old, live in the deep south, have fought curly, frizzy hair all my life up until about 5 months ago. My best friend bought me a CHI straightening iron for Christmas last year & I have never had to deal with curly, frizzy hair since then!!! I wasted money upon TONS of money on these cheap straightening irons down thru the years. The CHI straightening iron will straighten, smooth, defrizz your hair, leaving it shiney and will KEEP it that way until you wash it again...EVEN DURING THE RAIN!!! It has a finish on the iron plates that will NOT burn your hair, sets & maintains itself at a constant temperature and I am SOOOO pleased with this straightening iron!!! The hair salons wont tell you about the CHI (but they use it themselves) because they want you to keep coming back to them (thats how they make their money!) but you can do this at home, EASILY!!! The CHi straightening iron costs over $100 but you will NEVER have to buy another straightening iron again because they guarantee the CHI for LIFE, if anything should happen to it...ANYTHING...they will fix or replace it for FREE!!! Ive never seen anything like it!!! I wish I'd have known about the CHI many years ago because Ive bought so many cheap ones, Ive lost count. At $20 a pop, theres no telling how many CHI's I culdve bought with all the money I wasted on the cheaper brands but the thing that amazes me the most is that it leaves your hair smooth & straight even in the highest humidity imaginable!!!
