Miami is hot and humid, that's for sure, but it's also one of the least-polluted cities in the country (and we all know what pollution does to hair -- it's been linked to balding, gray hair and dullness). It also has very little wind and many salons to help keep your hair in control and stylish.

No. 6: New York
The summers can be hot and humid and therefore tough on hair, but New York's perfect-for-hair water makes up for the three months of hair-challenged weather. Plus it holds six of the top 10 ZIP codes with the most beauty salons in the country.

No. 5: San Francisco
San Francisco is no stranger to rain, but it's the No. 1 city in the country with least weather variety. So since the weather doesn't change frequently, you'll have great hair once you get used to the climate. The soft water, lack of wind and high number of salons also mean that the odds are strongly in your favor for having good hair days.

No. 4: Anchorage, Alaska
You may be freezing your butt off in the second-coldest city in the country (first is Fairbanks, Alaska) -- but your hair is in heaven. The city's lack of pollution and wind, plus the soft water, keep hair healthy and looking fabulous.

No. 3: San Diego
San Diego's lack of seasons means it's always 70 and sunny -- hair doesn't have to adjust to changing weather. Pair that with minimal wind and rain (it's in the top 10 for least rainy cities), and lots of salons per capita -- pretty much should look just about perfect here.
Are you having a good hair day? You probably are if you're living in one of these cities. (And, ahem, you're probably not if you live in one of these 13 worst-hair cities.) We looked at humidity levels, pollution, rainfall, average wind speeds, water hardness, demographics and the number of beauty salons per capita to find which cities have the best conditions for healthy, stylish hair. So did your town make the list? Let's find out.
