It's straight, fine and there's a lot of it. If it's rainy it might be extra flat. In winter it's extra flyaway (drives me batty!) Usually the best weather for my hair is when someone else styles it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-best-weather-for-your-hair#post-1409019 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 22:08:36 +0000 rachylou 1409019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hair is badly behaved in all climates!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-best-weather-for-your-hair#post-1408891 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 15:59:31 +0000 Angie 1408891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Elisabeth. I grew up in tropical Hong Kong and then moved to sunny Cape Town.

Although I did notice that it behaved much better than usual when I went to Las Vegas during the winter (i.e., cool but not cold, and very dry) a few years ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-best-weather-for-your-hair#post-1408672 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 03:06:23 +0000 K.M. 1408672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm like Bettycrocker: hair only looks good when the weather is cold and dry; skin looks best when it's hot and humid. Just like Crutcher, my hair becomes a brillo pad under the right (wrong) conditions. (It's naturally curly and medium-fine.)</p> <p>I have always thought I'd rather sacrifice the skin to have great hair, because my curls are my identity. However... I was once at a tropical island with such an amazing humid marine climate that my skin seemed to reverse back in time at least a half decade. Since then I've changed my mind. I can always put the hair up in a pony tail! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-best-weather-for-your-hair#post-1408671 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 03:04:44 +0000 Jaime 1408671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very overcast so I leave off the hat.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-best-weather-for-your-hair#post-1408669 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 02:58:37 +0000 Carla 1408669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Humidity means insta-curl. When it is cold and dry (winter) I can blow dry straight with a modicum of success. Wearing a hat distributes natural oils, and I might even get a glossy look. As soon as I work out, take a shower (even if I'm not washing my hair) it is right back to curly.</p> <p>I measured my 'bangs'. The hair is 9 inches, down to my chin, but it curls up above my eyebrows!</p> <p>Last week it was behaving badly, but I switched the part (now on my right) and it is behaving again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-best-weather-for-your-hair#post-1408625 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 01:23:34 +0000 Style Fan 1408625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some humidity is great for my hair and skin.&nbsp; My hair gets a nice wave and looks thick and bouncy.&nbsp; I need some length to make this happen.&nbsp; If it is shorter than my shoulders it starts to look like a brillo pad.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-best-weather-for-your-hair#post-1408611 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 00:54:12 +0000 Aziraphale 1408611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire, we are hair twins! Well, mine still has a bit of a wave in zero humidity, but is still pretty straight. But it's almost unbelievable how much it will curl up naturally when it's humid.&nbsp;</p> <p>Gigi -- aargh inconsistent hair -- tell me about it. Still, my hair is pretty good 75% percent of the time. I'd rather that than hair that is unmanageable most of the time!</p> <p>Crutcher, 'brillo pad' lol.</p> <p>*Side note on west coast weather&nbsp;--&nbsp;Angie, you won't catch me complaining about our climate. It is perfect for me. Mind you, I think what we grow up with might influence our 'set point' when it comes to weather. I've noticed that people who spent their childhoods somewhere sunny (even the Canadian interior, which is bloody cold in the winter but still sunny) have a lower tolerance for overcast skies. You spent your childhood somewhere warm, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-best-weather-for-your-hair#post-1408601 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 00:31:47 +0000 Anonymous 1408601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It depends on my hairstyle. If I'm wearing it straight, zero humidity will allow me to wear it this way with no straightening iron&nbsp;at all. If I want to wear it curly/wavy, a little Seattle-like humidity is just the ticket. If I'm in a rain forest, my hair almost goes into a globe-shaped Afro. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-best-weather-for-your-hair#post-1408597 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 00:21:29 +0000 Anonymous 1408597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To be frank my hair behaves and looks its best if I didn' t have to leave the house, which is never since I have a dog and walk her 3 times a day. Otherwise, as long as it is not humid or rainy my hair looks good. In fact if it is breezy out, I really like how my hair looks. I am not someone who likes to be perfectly coiffed, a little messiness is nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-best-weather-for-your-hair#post-1408592 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 00:16:29 +0000 crutcher 1408592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The humidity of summer and the south makes my shoulder length hair like a Brillo pad...There is no better way to describe it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-best-weather-for-your-hair#post-1408559 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 23:12:02 +0000 Angie 1408559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elisabeth, the moisture in the air in our neck of the woods prevents our hair from going static. We are lucky with this climate, actually - although I complain all year round about the cold and the grey.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-best-weather-for-your-hair#post-1408542 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 22:49:56 +0000 Elly 1408542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hair doesn't seem to be affected by the humidity much-- I have limp, fine, thin hair which is pretty much silky, straight, but without body in any climate.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-best-weather-for-your-hair#post-1408489 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 21:03:50 +0000 Gigi 1408489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The more humid the weather, the better my hair behaves. I have fine, wavy hair, and the humidity helps form better curls. In the winter, my hair gets extremely flat and dry. It may start out wavy in the morning, but by late afternoon, it is straight because of the dry air.</p> <p>I have inconsistent hair too. I never know what it's going to look like on any given day. Irritating! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-best-weather-for-your-hair#post-1408485 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 20:57:19 +0000 Jenny H 1408485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hair is best in humid weather. That's when I get the nicest curls. I cannot believe I am typing this as my body does not like the combo of heat and humidity but fortunately for me, I live in a place with humid summers since it is great for my hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-best-weather-for-your-hair#post-1408473 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 20:33:37 +0000 Aziraphale 1408473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alexandra, your post made me giggle. :-)</p> <p>Gradfashionista -- what kind of winter?&nbsp;</p> <p>Dee, abc&nbsp;--&nbsp;Seems like extreme&nbsp;humidity is bad for those of us whose hair responds by frizzing up! Makes sense.</p> <p>Betty crocker -- oh dear, that's unfortunate! I guess that means you can't 'have it all'. ;-)</p> <p>Suz, good point. If I go somewhere very humid or very dry, my hair misbehaves, too -- but I guess if I stayed there, I'd just have to adjust my hairstyle accordingly.&nbsp;</p> <p>Shiny, I can commiserate. Mine gets staticky in dry air, too. I'd rather have huge, bushy hair (my humid weather situation)&nbsp;than dry, staticky hair. :-)</p> <p>Citygirl, it sounds like a short cut is the best solution for you! I wish I could wear mine short sometimes.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-best-weather-for-your-hair#post-1408446 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 19:27:14 +0000 citygirldc 1408446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I had my bob, I would dread the upcoming humid summer which would kink and wavy my hair and I could not control it. Come winter time, and it gets so dry and flat and static-y that it felt like I had no hair. &nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway, keeping it short is the best way for me because I can control it more with styling products and sometimes the medium humidity help when it's short. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-best-weather-for-your-hair#post-1408444 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 19:24:27 +0000 shiny 1408444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like I need to move to Seattle. It's raining here today and my hair is happy. </p> <p>Cold &amp; dry air (including airplane air)&nbsp;- it gets super staticky and limp (but a dry, not greasy limp). I wind up rubbing hand cream in it throughout the day. </p> <p>Florida or Hong Kong (high humidity)&nbsp;- my hair is best if I just let it air dry and embrace the curls. A flat iron is a waste of time as it curls within minutes of leaving the house. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-best-weather-for-your-hair#post-1408436 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 19:13:13 +0000 Suz 1408436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The weather I'm used to! &nbsp;</p> <p>Whenever I go anywhere with a markedly different climate (more humid or a lot more dry) I find it does surprising things.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-best-weather-for-your-hair#post-1408428 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 19:01:57 +0000 Anonymous 1408428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For my hair: dry and arid<br />For my skin and scalp: humid </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-best-weather-for-your-hair#post-1408388 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 18:18:26 +0000 abc 1408388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see a huge difference in where I used to live (first the midwest USA, then the southeast USA) and here (Mexico City, high alititude, low humidity, mild temps). &nbsp;My hair does WAY better in my current climate, and for that I am thankful. &nbsp;I have natural curl and it's way more manageable here, to the point that it's a non-issue. &nbsp;In the USA I was always fighting it or trying to control it. &nbsp;Here it's not a big deal at all, mostly I suppose for the humidity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-the-best-weather-for-your-hair#post-1408387 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 18:15:33 +0000 Dee 1408387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Any dry climate (cold or warm) is good for me.
