With an extreme heat warning in place and temperatures hitting close to 38°C this week -humidity levels included - my entire routine has shifted around trying to stay as cool and comfortable as possible. And while most of that battle is being fought with ice in every drink and my fan on full all day, there's one corner of my life that this kind of weather makes genuinely miserable: my hair.
With naturally thick, frizzy hair that flares up at the first sign of humidity enters, in weather like this, every instinct tells me to chuck it in a bun and be done with it. But contending with a full head of natural curls when it's this hot and sticky is just not comfortable. There's something about smooth, sleek hair that genuinely feels cooler and more manageable when the temperature is pushing 38°C. And on the days when I actually have plans and need to look like a functioning human being rather than someone who gave up before 8am, finding the best hair products for humidity that actually deliver has been everything.
