    Default Summer hair woes

    I only really hate my fine, thin hair in the humid summer months. I tell myself it won't last forever. It is finer, thinner, and limper than ever. I get so down about it. Anyone else share my misery?

    Your hair looks lovely in your profile pic. Could you encourage the wave in the humidity? You could also try a volumiser spray at your roots- something like KMS Add Volume volumizing spray could work well for you. Works for me with your hair type

    Your hair looks great in your avatar photo. Have you tried doing a French braid to get braid waves? They can add a lot of volume.

    Mine definitely gets gross faster in the summer. Bleh. I just put it up more because I can't be bothered to wash it more often just yet >.>

    Maintaining at Hip-BCL for now.

    I recently decided that I'm not going to wear my hair down for the rest of the summer because humidity makes it look terrible. I feel your pain.

    A good thing for me about summer heat and humidity is that it makes my flyaways fuzz up curly, which adds a bit of softness to my usual Mean Librarian slicked back bun.

    The great thing about long hair in summer is that I can put it up and forget it. It's not sticking to my neck, shoulders, back, face, being all hot and tickly. The humidity fuzz is too short to be annoying. In sunlight, the fuzz may catch the light and remind me of cat's fur. I find that nimbus attractive.

    Agree, I hide my hair in a braid when it is humid out so I can get those waves that Sarahlabyrinth suggested!

    This is me too. When it's really humid my hair has this way of feeling dry and dirty at the same time when it is neither. Only way it behaves is if I let it out for washes, lightly oil it, and then send it back to its room
