Humidity When it's humid outside, moist heat has your hair surrounded on all sides, and this causes every hair type to frizz -- but that's just the beginning. "For normal to thick, wavy, or curly hair, humidity may also give it an undesirable fullness," says O'Connor, who suggests Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion Smooth & Shine Serum, $4.49, to nix frizz and tame fullness. "And with thin, fine hair, humidity makes it lifeless and flat." If this is you, he says Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion Dry Shampoo, $3.49, restores body and fullness. For normal hair, using these two products together can restore sheen and block further moisture from affecting your style.

Libby, a reader whose naturally wavy hair becomes even curlier in humidity, says she likes the one-two punch of smoothing milk for frizz control and an anti-humidity spray. As an alternative, she likes "to use a curl-enhancing gel and one-inch flat iron to get a wavy, just-been-to-the-beach look." Bryce Scarlett, a Los Angeles-based hairstylist, says for a heat-styled look, he also uses a humidity-protecting product. "Apply it liberally to wet, clean hair, and style as usual," he says, adding that a ceramic brush can act like a flat iron when blow drying, since it straightens hair and seals the cuticle to help keep out moisture.

These are some really great tips! I live in a climate where we experience all 4 seasons of the year. As the seasons change, so does my hair routine along with the products I use. I've not used much of the Suave Professionals, so I look forward to giving some of these products a try!
