My favorite 'Humid Hair' episode is from Becker where Chris couldn't get her mail-order conditioner, and every day her hair got worse and worse. I understood every agonizing frizz puff and frazzle curl. :D
I live in the Sierra Foothills of California where we don't deal with much humidity. Lotsa hot and dry, but next to no humidity unless it's actually raining. It wasn't until I visited Orlando during the RWA conference a couple of years ago that I experienced real humidity. My flat, straight hair loved it. It actually had body for like the first time ever. =)
Oh, man, does it ever! Deep south = humidity year round. I feel like that picture pretty much constantly. People just assume we like big hair down here. They don't realize that it's a product of our environment. Well, most of the time... :)
My hair is basically straight, and just seems to get straighter in the humidity. One daughter's hair is like mine, the other's is naturally wavy and she complains it begins curling in all the wrong directions in the humidity. I don't think any of us really understands how the others feel.
And we all seem to want what we don't have. When Stick-Straight-Marsha-Brady-Hair came back into style, I just rolled my eyes. Never gonna happen. But if big 80's hair comes back, I'm set!
Ha! Yes. That's kind of like my hair. Did you ever see the Friends episode where Monica gets her hair done in braids? :)

Wendy, my sister has the same problem. From our hair, you'd never know we were related.

ReplyDeleteMy skin loved the humidity in Florida. Suddenly I wasn't putting on lip balm every hour or so. :)
