Hi!

The reason why your hair frizzes and curls in the humidity is the water in the air breaks down the hydogen bonds in your hair and causes them to reform (like after any time you wash your hair) and if your hair is not naturally straight this will make them curly.

So to combat this what you really want to do is to stop the water from getting to your hair so I would recommend putting oil on it. This sounds kind of gross but it acts as barrier and will keep any moisture that is in your hair inside, and any moisture outside it should stay outside. I use coconut oil which smells just like coconut and is very good for your hair. It will also help weigh down and frizzy bits a little.
