Natural ladies, how to deal with humidty?
- Thread starter jewel
- Start date
I really haven't had a problem with humidity and I'm surprised because there's no air conditioning where I work and the temperature has been near 100 outside so it's a lot hotter in the building. I spray my hair in the morning with either a leave in conditioner,s curl, or a braid spray and then a few hours after I get home from work I spray my mtg mixture on my scalp, oil it if necessary and then spray whatever I used in the morning on it again. My hair stays moisturized pretty well.

It's been holding up pretty well but I try to spritz it with Oyin Greg Juice once a day (OR an old Oyin bottle with water and conditioner in it).

I make my own water-based spritzes! In one I have added Glycerin & Rosewater and a teaspoon of any conditioner, mixed with distilled water, it's great. In my oil spritz I have added olive oil, grapeseed oil, Infusion 23 and lavender and rosemary eo. They both smell great and keep my hair moisturised. The measurements of the ingredients are 1:10 parts water, how you would mix a weak cordial drink. Each leave my hair moisturised without feeling greasy and I don't need to use a lot either. Right now my hair is thanking me and is the healthiest it has ever been!

I think the humidity is good for my hair, as far as keeping it moist. The only negative thing for me is it makes shrinkage even worse!

You got something there w/ he braid spray. I tried it once just to see how my hair would react. It was moisturized until I got home. i also do the leave in cond.and plain ol water. My hair loves this and the curls are so defined.

Humidity doesn't seem to effect my hair at all. I spray nightly with water or water & almond oil. I don't put anything on my hair during the day.

I have not had a problem with humidity. I keep my hair in twists and spritz with a water/glycerin combo in the morning and that's it.
Like somebody else said on here, braids. Or maybe cornrows..anything to keep your hands out of your hair and cause more frizz. I have cornrows and I love the simplicity of them. If it was'nt for the cornrows, my hair would be a huge brillo pad...well. maybe not that bad but close enough.

It is not a problem for me. I wash and go when my hair is out. I do twists when it is really hot so my hair won't be as dry.

I have a natural but over the summer here in NY I find my hair to be more moisturized b/c of the humidity---in the winter my hair is so dry b/c of the cold air.
I would suggest trying Mayonnaise on your hair. I know it sounds crazy and I only did it b/c my homegirl didn't have any eggs when I wanted to deep condition but my hair was super moisturized for almost a week! I put the Mayo all throughout my hair and put a plastic cap on it. I would have sat under the dryer but since there wasn't one around I just stood outside in the baking sun (yes, ghetto) and my head warmed up quite nicely. Either way, if its getting dry you might try that!

Well, I pour some castor oil into my hand and add some liquid (surge, oyin greg joice, braid spray, whatever) then moisturize my hair all over. My mixture is about a 70:30 castor oil:liquid ratio if I am properly explaining it. It works good for me. It also causes my 4a/4b curls to become more defined and it stays moisturized all day.

I just know not to press my hair in the summer time...watse of my money plus I dont want to slather products on my hair just so it will stay somewhat straight. Anyway when I do decide to start straightening my hair, I'll only do it in the fall and winter times where the air is a lot drier and my hair wont swell.
