Episode notes
Why Fine Hair Goes Limp In Humidity
- Fine, low-density hair often goes limp in high humidity because hair fibers absorb water and gain weight.
- Coarse dense hair resists flattening and instead becomes frizzy when humid.
Use Lightweight Silicones For Protection
- Try lightweight silicones like cyclopentasiloxane or light dimethicone to shield hair without heavy buildup.
- Avoid heavier amodimethicone on fine hair and experiment with lightweight conditioners and cyclomethicone blends.
What To Look For In A Moisturizer
- For facial moisturizers, prioritize lightweight emollients like caprylic/capric triglycerides at the top of the ingredient list.
- Add richer butters or petrolatum in winter and include glycerin as a humectant lower on the list.
