We all have bad hair days, but instead of cursing the mighty hair gods and calling in sick, you might want to consider packing your bags. There are a number of factors contributing to frustrating frizz and dried out strands, but as it turns out it, they could all be due to the city you call home. From looking at national averages of humidity/wind/rain/sun, water-hardness, pollution levels and even the number of salons in the area, Totalbeauty.com has located the worst cities for your 'do. Did your city make the list?

I agree w/some of this , but any smart person let alone an idiot would know that wen you live in Vegas, No sane person hangs out in the sun, even the pools all have covers..obviously that idiots never live in Las Vegas, as where I had for years.

Nothing from my state seems to be on ANY of these lists, which is definitely okay with me.

You forgot Boston. Humid, humid, humid; windy, windy, windy; cold, cold, cold; and you have salt water in the air. Frizz, frizz, frizz.

I live in an area with hard water and it makes having decent looking hair so much work!
