Show off your high humidity hair photos!

Why not?

Let's see how the high humidity affects hair.
Currently where I live it's 91 percent humidity (and so hot too!).

Last week we had tremendous thunderstorms and flooding. I had just washed and tried a length shot in between pouring episodes. I was astounded at how frizzy and scraggly the length looked. I was even thinking maybe I needed a trim.

Then the very next week, I tried again. It was a bit less humid, and I will admit I tweaked my routine a bit more (WCC, LOC including flaxseed gel). The result was much nicer.

I must remember to consider the humidity the next time I suspect scraggly ends.

Anyone else got high humidity pix?

[neko_kawaii]

Pretty curls! Maybe in another month I'll have something for ya.

[Wildcat Diva]

:popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:

And thank you Neko.

[Feathered]

Your hair is very pretty. I like your curls. My hair seems to really like humidity. It seems to get softer during high humidity, which is good seeing how I live really close to a river and it's really humid here because of that. That was really frustrating back when I used to curl my hair. Now that I no longer bother with curling I don't mind the humidity anymore, except for the"hotter than hell" summers!

[Nadine <3]

Ha...I kept my hair in braids when it was humid otherwise it tangled and tried to make out with itself. No pictures though it was a mess.

[Hootenanny]

Great idea for a thread! I'll try to get a pic next time the humidity goes up. It was crazy humid a few days ago and my DH said to me, "Ummm... your hair is certainly looking... LARGE." :lol:

[TrapperCreekD]

Oooh, wild hair pics! :popcorn:

Despite living in the Pacific NorthWET, the humidity isn't really that high during the day, especially in the summer months... I've never really noticed my hair getting huge from the weather - more like ignorant care practices.

[Ingrid]

I try not to look at my hair when it's humid...

[divinedobbie]

According to the forecast, the humidity here is only at 32% right now, and according to statistics it it very humid (94%+) in mid October. But I won't be living here anymore then. Great idea for a thread though!

[Alaska98]

Where I live the humidity is always above 50%, and I'm not experienced enough to compensate. My hair always looks like your top pic!

[Wildcat Diva]

Alaska98, I'm on the Texas Gulf Coast so it's constantly humid, too. This top pic was right in the midst of showers though.

[starlamelissa]

Blehrg. When it's hot, my hair is in a top knot or side braid. I can't stand it down.

[veryhairyfairy]

Hah! I love this thread idea!

I'm currently wearing my hair down with the windows open to take advantage of the humidity since I did an SMT yesterday so there's humectants in my hair... I'll take a pic in a few hours when my fuzz has reached its peak! :lol:

ETA: I got nothin', lol! My hair decided to be smooth and lovely yesterday, I'm so confused! :shrug:

[LadyCelestina]

I want to play too,but it's supposed to be hot and dry weather next week :sun:

88 percent humidity. It poured rain all day until this evening at dusk.
This is 24 hours post wash, worn down all day.
Avalon organics rosemary leave in (quarter size), 6 drops mineral oil, flaxseed gel Last night. Slept with hair loose last night. Before this walk where I took the pic, I did a small amount of tangle teezing the ends, not truly detangling. Smeared on a smidge of shea moisture smoothie and scrunched before going on the walk. The humidity made my hair feel damp again by the time I took this pic.

[OUKess]

beautiful!!

[Kitten1030]

What a beautiful picture WildcatDiva! Your hair looks better in the humidity than mine looks on the best of days. Grumble grumble... so not fair, but so gorgeous!

I didn't bring any tools or ingredients with me for perfect waves. Should be humid when I get home though to try it out.

[Wildcat Diva]

Whoooo hoooooo! That's lovely!

[queenovnight]

This was last month (I think) or early this month. Hitting 90's. The first photo was when I first stepped outside, the second was 30 minutes later XD

[Wildcat Diva]

Oh wow, that's a big difference queenovnight.

[neko_kawaii]

Ok, I remembered to try again with product (scrunched in aloe and jojoba), left it down and did some walking errands and snapped this pic when I got home. RH was approaching 50%.

I an never get a clear shot of my nape curls, all that shows up is dark, but they were putting on a show!

[Wildcat Diva]

Yes my nape hairs will be the ones to curl up. Your pic looks really good. Calm hair, not a frizzy stray in sight. Too bad the nape hairs were being so shy.

[ErinLeigh]

Wildcat Diva

Your wurls are gorgeous! I can totally relate to this thread. I live in on the Gulf coast, and it is humid almost all year around except maybe January and February it's more "normal" humidity. :lol: Being a 3a, some tighter/some looser, my curls actually do best in our humidity. Do you find that your curls are "wimpier" during the winter months? My curls tighten up quite a bit Spring through Fall, and then when January hits I have to encourage them more. As long as I'm armed with some good anti-humectant products, I love what the humidity does for my curls!

This is August, so like %100 humidity some days
http://i1364.photobucket.com/albums/r740/mamabshire/E986D9FD-404D-4ABA-9467-A4B8079FBF6E_zpsm4jqtwzr.jpg (http://s1364.photobucket.com/user/mamabshire/media/E986D9FD-404D-4ABA-9467-A4B8079FBF6E_zpsm4jqtwzr.jpg.html)

This is January and air dried. The weight of the water pulls my curls down, so they do better when diffused. (which is what I do 99% of the time. Was just experimenting with air drying in this photo.)

Great thread!

I don't have photos, but when I had fine, straight hair humidity made it go super-super limp and it went tightly against my scalp. There was no sense to try any styles on high humidity days. One of my friends back then had natural curls and when we biked together to school on humid, rainy days we had fun comparing our hairs: hers poofed up and became curlier and mine went against my head as tightly as possible and hanged down like seaweed :D

Now I have different hair type, a mixture of fine, medium and coarse hair, and a mixture of straight-ish and wavy hair with varying wave length (some are very tight). My canopy is straighter and the waves are on the underside. Anyway, I have never noticed humidity or lack of it affecting my hair in any way :bigeyes: I think it's more or less the same.

[TrapperCreekD]

I wonder what my hair would do in more humid states? Despite living in the Pacific NorthWET, summer humidity is quite low - lower fifties and we start feeling miserable. It's obviously higher in the winter but I've never really noticed a difference on a wet vs dry day....

[Wildcat Diva]

Well I think the evidence is clear that 100 percent humidity makes my hair look angry.

But other times, it's still pretty humid and yet hair is not so bad looking. Huh.

I'm not sure the month or season does anything for me different. Think I'm going home and bun up and put my silk sleep cap on so my hair can go to sleep for now and quit being so pissed.

Oh yeah, there is more rain in the forecast next week.

[Colochita]

This is my hair with anti humidity products on it in the Bahamas. I don't know what the humidity was, but it's always high.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i299/jstcm/Snapshot_20150303.jpg
For reference, this is my hair with gel and conditioner in it in Minnesota. It was winter and the humidity was pretty low. (Also posted this picture in the Kinky 4s thread.)
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i299/jstcm/shrinkage2.jpg

[lapushka]

I don't keep an eye on humidity - at all. I always almost overmoisturize my hair and aaalmost never have frizz issues. Honestly. Cross my heart.

[Wildcat Diva]

That's quite a difference! Your hair is beautiful.

[Wildcat Diva]

I think a lot of it depends on your environment.
Normal for my area is 59 to 92 percent.

Neko's 50 percent humidity shot earlier? I'm scratching my head, because 50 percent for us is decent. I suppose high is relative for the area you are in.

There is no question that there is a difference in my hair with this factor. And most of the time I am in higher humidity anyway (Texas Gulf Coast). But 100 percent humidity? It's brutal. Photos show it for sure.

[Breanna]

Nice thread! Now that it's officially warm every day and the humidity will be a constant here in the deep south, I'm going to have to remember to post some pics here!

[unicornlady]

Lol I'll second what @ingrid said. :o

Wildcat Diva, your hair in the first pic looks exactly like mine! You have really nice hair that acts up in humidity, I guess that is something all wavy people have to suffer! It looks great on the second picture. Mine's got better since I co-wash. What are the exact steps that you took to get the hair to settle down, as I dont know these abbreviations (WCC and LOC)?

[Breanna]

Turns out today ended up being a pretty good day for humidity pics!

Today, after a co-wash

Thank you! Well most of all, I picked a less humid day that was not thunder storming to take a pic of my hair. The second picture in my first posts was freshly washed, shampooed then double conditioned. I did leave the conditioner in for a long time and probably combed the conditioner through and let it sit a while and really smoothed it in. The LOC was after the wash, leave in conditioner, oil and cream or gel. I know I used homemade flaxseed gel in that pic.

Whew, left out my usual ROO last night to more fairly evaluate a change in my DT recipe. Regretted it today, as I have at least an inch of halo. >_<

[Wildcat Diva]

93 percent relative humidity. I'm bunned,
But my teenage son is rocking his mop. Please excuse his poor posture as I snapped this pic on the down low.
He doesn't like his waves, but I do. And he won't be able to escape them as his dad and I are 2Cish.

I sure hope one day he sees his waves as the gift they are. If not tell him I will trade.

[Nadine <3]

98% humidity right now and my hair is nuts! It gets so tangly! I have it contained in a braid, but my bangs are even nuts.

[Wildcat Diva]

Yeah I feel ya! Tangly is my middle name, and that texture you see there in my kid, you can't really comb that out once it gets longer.

For me...I have cones in right now, but it was still tangly. I just added some Nightblooming's Panacea, combed out despite my better judgement (I have an angel on each shoulder, one says comb and ones says don't) bunned now.
I'm gonna do this thing, wear a plastic shower cap over the dry hair to make some steam with the hot air coming off my head. I like how moist that makes things feel.

[Nadine <3]

I have cones in too but my hair is still sticking together. I have waves and random ringlets and a bunch of escaped frizzies floating all over the place. Buns and braids until the humidity goes back down lol

[Wildcat Diva]

Uh, for me that is likely never. Not by much.

[Wildcat Diva]

I sure hope one day he sees his waves as the gift they are. If not tell him I will trade.

I know right, thank you, and also it's nice and thicker than my hair by a little bit. Plus he has some natural highlights I see there too.

[Crystawni]

It's not long until winter for us in the southern hemisphere, so here in the northern tropics I'm enjoying only 70% humidity today, and 29C... Dealing with the frizz is a daily thing for me, too, WD--but my hair is not a fan of cones. Bleh. I guess that's why they grow so many coconut palms around here: for mah hair! :p Humidity; nature's way of moisturising your hair? Or making sure you get hygral fatigue? :shrug:

(Shudder) Rather you than me. I spent several years in Broome and ....nope. It was just too much for me. We had no air conditioning either and had to sleep with windows firmly closed to keep the mosquitos and midges out as well. I just drowned in perspiration and developed an almost permanent heat rash. Luckily it was before I had long hair....

[Crystawni]

Ooooh, Broome would be a killer! It's got that desert heat on top of the tropical stuff. I hear you on the permanent heat rash, too (my scalp even gets it, and now prickles in the sun)! And midges and mozzies. We're lucky to have aircon. here--we suffered a bit previously without it during tooooo hot weather a few months back. I do find long hair is cooler, though, as I can have it up and away from my neck, or wet it down in a cold shower and just let that blanket drip coolness until it stops and goes back into an updo.

[spirals]

Earlier today it was. Did you get the rain?? We had some downpours and a bit of thunder :)

We got what you got. The parking lot at the mall was a shallow lake for a bit. I was so uncomfortable because of the humidity and I will be running the air conditioning all night.

Around 65 percent here. Freshly washed, mild clarify here. No oil, just leave in here. Needs more moisture and oils maybe?

I love your hair, Wildcat Diva :crush: Just look at those waves!

You are very sweet. I have seen it behave better than this though. I accept your kind compliment. I will just also say I continue to look for ways to keep moisture in as I live in high humidity as a "normal" environmental condition.

Skipping oil today was not helpful.

[Anya15]

Don't have pictures, but yesterday was wash day and my hair was a frizzball. Like you, WD, I also live in high-humidity as a normal condition and have to keep moisture in without over-moisturizing. Your hair is lovely btw.

My SO got attacked by it when I went to see him. I hugged him and he got a huge mouth and nose full of it. What an amazing thing for my hair to pull off considering my head only comes up to about his nipple. How did it get all the way up there?! Maybe my hair is retaliating from all the short jokes.

My hair regularly tries to eat DH if it's down. I think it's trying to phagocytose him like an amoeba.

[Wildcat Diva]

I washed... I think what, four days ago? Things still can get frizzy in high humidity. I did tangle teezer and then stepped out into my porch, it's pouring outside now. How is this for showing off?

Anyone else got high humidity pix?

Oh my! You have such beautiful hair! :agape::agape: Perfect! And i love the color! Is it your natural hair color? :o

[Wildcat Diva]

Oh thank you. This is like I think the best picture of it. It hardly really looks like that IRL. It's a fight to get the level of moisture right so it doesn't frizz and tangle.

These same ends in the picture are now longer (past BCL) and are more dry and frazzled. I'm trying to grow longer, and trimming only minimally. This takes its toll on the ends...

Yes, it is my natural color. I was taking photos at sundown yesterday and it was flaring really red in the low light. Normally it's dark brown but the ends have been lightened by sun exposure over the years, as is normal for most of us who don't cover our heads very well when we go outside.

My hair doesn't get frizzy, it just gets sweaty. What's worse in your opinion?

Well, I think sweaty is worse comfort wise, but I have it up a lot. If I want hair to look good being down, then my vanity ups the ante on hate for the frizzy factor.

It turns out that living on an island with very changeable weather means the humidity is anywhere between 70-100%, so it would be interesting to actually take note of whether it does affect my hair significantly.

I don't know what exactly the humidity was on the day I took this photo (I washed and airdried for a hairtyping photo; I got a bit more than I bargained for!), but it did feel humid and does show why I don't wash my hair and air dry in the daytime:

Even after combing, it stayed just as frizzy! (For the record, from the actual hairtyping photo I'm sticking with 1b despite the insane fuzz)

Oh my goodness, that right ^^there^^ looks like my hair!!! Except that it doesn't happen for me from humidity, it happens because I have dual texture hair - 1a/b and 2b. From the front I look pin-straight, from the back I look wavy from tight braid waves. The canopy is straight though, so the under layer peeks out from underneath, and the little shorter bits create an all-over halo just like what you have there :D But mine happens regardless of humidity, because our weather spans a huge spectrum of hot/humid/muggy summers and freezing/dry/crackling winters.

And here's where I have to fess up that since my hair doesn't really get affected much by weather conditions, I'm clearly just here to rubberneck the humidity pics. Forgive me please...? ;)

It’s like SOOOoooo humid in Houston Texas right about now.

Humidity percentage was at 100% today. I originally had super springy pin curls. Oh well. My bangs kind of held up. Shrinkage was on 1000%. And I just stopped caring.

This is my every (wash) day (pics previously posted elsewhere):

It gets worse, and better, but that's about average. No escaping it in the tropics, so I just let it settle over time and accept the permanent frizz-halo.

[Wildcat Diva]

How about those baby hairs at 87 percent humidity?

Oh my! That's an awesome frizz halo :rollin:

[Groovy Granny]

Can you tame it any WD?

I use my BBB after a wee bit of serum (Biosilk Lite) and they blend into my crown pretty well now.

If it is really bad and I need to have it tamed for a special event, I use my BBB followed by a spritz of Garnier Anti-humidity Hairspray, and that does a fairly good job ;)

This (https://forums.longhaircommunity.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=33134&d=1535651010) was back in August with NO products added for a typing pic

So not too bad.... I guess I found my Holy Grail product/routine .....for now at least :whistle:

Good luck :thumbsup:

(One of these days I'll remember to snap a pic after a non-hair-washing shower in the daytime - night lighting renders light blonde wispies invisible to my phone camera - and actually contribute to this thread :whistle:)

Thank you :o

[Stray_mind]

I actually Love all of these pictures. All of your high humidity hair looks pretty :) :blossom:

[Wildcat Diva]

Aw thanks, all.

Yes I can tame it a little. I had just tried on several shirts over my head, which didn’t help. So I thought oh my, sill take a photo. I just smoothed my hands over, that’s all I cared to do.

[Wildcat Diva]

Wow. 92 percent after a rainstorm this evening.

I’m definitely among you ladies with the humidity and wild hair. I will have plenty to add to this...*sigh*.

[Begemot]

Your pictures are awesome, Wildcat Diva! :D Great thread.

[Wildcat Diva]

Thanks! :)

[AmaryllisRed]

Haha! Wildcat Diva, that's awesome!
I look forward to making my own contributions to the thread. :)

[lapushka]

Yeah, gotta love those baby hairs.

Neat, WD. :thumbsup:

[Suortuva]

My hair loves humidity and I love my hair in humid weather, because it always starts to curl very nicely. Humid weather and layers just makes my hair pretty.

Here's a picture from last summer. Rainy day created this, I did nothing:

I start believing that all people who are into long hair have fantastic genes. Because I see beautiful faces in all posted pictures here.
