4 Alternative Natural Hair Styles You Can Wear to Fight Humid Days
We know this isn’t what naturalistas like yourselves want to hear, but truthfully there’s no battling humidity. It’s not necessarily the temperature that naturals are up against, it’s the humidity. Whether you live in a dry or wet climate, humidity determines how much moisture is present or not present in the air.
Humidity, your unique lifestyle, and how you would like to show up from day-to-day will all determine how you style your hair for humid days. Listed below are four alternative natural hair styles we recommend you try on the next humid day:
Hairstyle #1: Puff

A hair puff is an easy, quick stress-free natural hair style. You can achieve a puff by smoothing back the sides of your hair with a foam or gel. Then, you can secure the puff with a large hair tie.
Please be sure that it’s not pulled too tight to cause unnecessary tension/friction to your edges. You can also make different variations of a puff if your hair length is shorter.
Hairstyle #2: Bun
