Women who live in the South have to deal with humidity, which also means they have to deal with frizzy hair. Humidity has a way of causing strands of hair to expand, giving it that frizzy appearance that women everywhere loathe. But, there are ways to fight this.

Before you get out of the shower or bath, rinse your hair with cool water. This will close up your hair cuticles, which will lock in some of the moisture that gives hair its luster. Don't rub your hair down with a towel. Friction causes hair to frizz up. Instead, use your towel to squeeze the water from your hair.

Use anti-frizz products. For example, there are good shampoos and conditioners you can use that will help prevent frizzing. It's best to buy these products from a salon, since this is where high quality shampoos, gels, and conditioners will be sold. Choose products that moisturize and hydrate your hair, which is key to keeping the strands looking lustrous and smooth.

Be sure to pick products that are suitable for your hair type. For example, if you have very curly hair, make sure the gel you choose is suited for curly hair. Using the wrong product won't produce the best results.

Blow dry your hair with either your fingers or a wide-tooth comb. When blow drying your hair, always point the nozzle down at your hair rather than up. If the hot air is pointing the wrong direction, it will open up your hair cuticles and make it look frizzier than ever. Before you finish blow drying a section of hair, switch to the cool setting.

Follow these tips, and you'll have a much easier time keeping your hair smooth and manageable despite the humid weather.
