    Posted: March 23 2006 at 8:47am

I was wondering if anyone could recommend any hair products that have had success with when it comes to batteling humidity.

Humidity really does a number on my natural hair as well as extensions, lol. (My natural hair is the WORST though!)  It causes my hair to get this big nasty wave to it in the center and then ends up looking very frizzy and gross!

Just wondering if anyone has any tips or suggestions!

Coconut oil and coco butter!      melt them together, then put it in the fridge.  after you wash and dry your hair, rub a little bit of the oil/butter in your hands to melt it, and work throuh your hair.

If you want your hair straight, like I want mine, I got Yuko done. I completely took away frizz from humidity. It's a dream come true.

Futura straighteners were my saving grace.

Keeo your GHD'S or your whatevers! These are the best for my hair, ever despite being rather bulky.

Prior to them I only had to walk out the front door and I'd turn into a big bush-head. Personally, I use no serums or anything as they do the trick!

Marvellous!

Current install-Bohyme Bodywave #30 and #14 in the straight hair/ they didn't have the #14 in bodywave, so I mixed them...works great!

It's the Japanese straighting. I do it once a year, it's great.

Really? A flat iron solved the frizz? I can't imagine that on my hair! If I do the dishes my hair will frizz. Have you tried other flat irons and find this one to be the best? I'm asking because I use the fancy shmancy T3 and I don't think it's that good.

Bty, what are GHD's?

Oil Therapy by Optima has done wonders to the frizz in my hair and wig.  Only use a little bit though

T3 is great, CHI is better. Moisture and heat are two of the worst elements for any type of hair.If you can avoid chemical straightening do so.Phyto has a fantastic lightweight straightening balm. Sparingly massage throughout your entire hair shaft, and do NOT neglect the roots as this is where the kinkiest curl is. I combine Phyto and a specific silicone together to create a gorgeous straightener and shine. Don't over react to hair issues by bouncing around from one stylist to another without finding a great one who needs to get to know you and your hair without doing any damage.
