Anti-Humidity Products for Texlaxed Hair

[isawstars]

Texlaxed ladies, what are you using to keep your straight/sleek hairstyles from reverting this summer? Also what are you using to keep your wash and gos from frizzing/poofing?

Now that I've gotten rid of all of my relaxed ends my staple products aren't working for me. Normally my hair reverts in 2 or 3 days during the summer... Now it reverts in 2-3 hours! No joke. Maybe it's not my products... maybe this summer is just hotter and more humid than last summer? What ever it is... it's frustrating.

Thanks in advance.

Hey girlie. I don't even bother with straightened styles in this humidity. As far as my wash and buns go, I use a leave in(Redken Smooth Down), serum(Sally's Argan Oil) and a gel(Elasta QP Elucence). This works for me. Nice defined wavy bun. All 3 products have anti humectant properties.

I tried being all fancy and thought I would get better results by adding in the Garnier anti humidity milk- and I hated it, it was pure garbage, my wash and bun seemed frizzier than normal. I promptly threw it away. It was only $3- so I didn't feel too bad.

I just got back from Virginia Beach and was amazed that relaxed/straightened women were able to KEEP their hair straight in that humidity. Mine would have been a puffball the very second I stepped outside.

Have you guys tried John Frieda Frizz Ease?

I know that I will be absolutely no help to you, but I feel I have to explain why:

I'm texlaxed but almost never wear my hair totally straight. I straighten it with a rollerset 4 times a year (after retouch for a length-check), wear it straight for 1 day (maybe) and then it's in a bun. I just prefer textured, big-ish hair, even when I wear it up, so the summer heat/humidity really doesn't affect it at all.

I hope you find the answer(s) you need.

I did when I was relaxed.... I have no idea how it would work on textured hair though.

Yeah I'm loving my big-ish hair too but I have the urge to wear my hair down lately. Do you wear your hair down and textured? if so what products do you use?

Yes...I do occasionally wear twistouts. I co-wash with VO5 or Suave Conditioner, apply some Giovanni Direct Leave-in, then make 10 individual twists on damp hair with castor oil.

Here's a pic from summer 2009:

After a day or two, I put it up into a textured updo.

Okay this is what I am planning on doing, buying some Paul Mitchel hair spray and when I remove my rollers for my beach wave spray it and lightly applying it with my fingers along my hair. I want to keep a style nice in this weather and will find a way.

John Frieda Frizz Ease has been great for me this year. I've been mixing it with olive and grapeseed oils.

i only straigten in the months when there is low to no humidity, since i am natural. i am a twistout queen so that if the hair gets frizzy it will look cute and I wash more often sometimes 2-3 times a week.

I totally agree with you Taz007!!


I love your hair Prospurr4, very beautiful!!!!

Thanks! I know what you are saying about your hair appearing SL. I actually enjoyed that stage of my hair journey because everything seemed easier then...rollersetting, detangling, self-relaxing, etc.

Maybe you can do a twist and curl. It's really cute and on SL hair it looks like a curly fro but not as big. Oh, and don't use products w/ glycerin. They make your hair frizzy b/c it's a humectant, correct me if I am wrong.

When I do it, I apply a moisturizer, foam styling lotion, and garnier fructis anti frizz serum. Then, I twist and roll w/ a small foam roller. Comes out so cute and I wear it for 3 days.

Day 1: untwist and pull each twist half once
Day 2: fluff and pull a little more if frizzy; apply moisturizer and anti frizz
Day 3: pull and make it look like a curly afro. People really think I am natural when I do this, LOL.

Oh, I have relaxed ends but half of my head is texlaxed. I can't wait for it to be fully texlaxed that style will be too fly, LOL

Okay, I'm natural but maybe you can try Sabino Moisture Block or Defrizz from Bumble and Bumble.
