snorkel4ever Posted July 20, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Any recommendations from those in Florida /US for shampoo/hair products for hot/humid weather? My teenage daughter has long layered fine hair that frizzes and goes wild. She also has a tendency towards oily hair so trying to avoid layering of multiple products. No luck with products at home. Will be in Miami for few days prior to Caribbean cruise, so can pick up at CVS, Bayside or Publix. We live in very dry western Canada - so not much experience with this issue. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoastCruiser123 Posted July 20, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I live in the desert so I understand the hair challenges you face when going to miami. I have given up with dealing with my curly hair on cruises. I bought a few of those jeweled stretchy head bands and tend to just have a pony tail at night. The fancy headband makes it look a little dressier. But i'd be curious about product recommendations too. I usually use gel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We live in Central BC and it's very dry here. Edited July 20, 2014 by Kamloops50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie51 Posted July 20, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I recommend "It's a 10" miracle leave-in product. I have seen it in Publix, drugstores, Ulta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalcruz Posted July 20, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I like L'Oreal Eversleek Smoothing shampoo and conditioner. My friend swears by Kiehls's anti-frizz product but I don't need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted July 20, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 20, 2014 If you are going during the summer months, I'd advise your daughter to just use a smoothing product and practice with styles at home that allow her to pull it up. My daughter has heavy, heavy, thick ,long ,wavy ,curly hair. It's gorgeous. But.... She has learned that the only way to keep it manageable in hot and humid weather is keeping it pulled back, up, braided... anything but trying to fight the curls. Especially on the cruise, when you don't want to spend tons of time on your hair, I'd look for alternative styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The desert is a dry heat, here it is extremely humid. To the OP, I get keratin treatments about three times a year (I know that doesn't help you) and use Chi Silk Infusion along with my Chi flatiron. When it is dry, I use bamboo oil (which you could just use on its own). This keeps my long, curly, naturally frizzy hair smooth and straight.

snorkel4ever Posted July 28, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Thanks to all for recommendations. She tried BB (Bumble & Bumble) De-frizz recommended by Seventeen magazine & it did not work. Will try to pick up something recommended above in Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahays00 Posted July 28, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Try joico smoothing balm. It's in a gold stand on lid type bottle. I do hair for a living and this is one of my fav products for frizzy or course hair. It had small golf flecks in it which adds extra shine to the hair. It never leaves the hair heavy or oily. Make sure to apply from mid shaft to ends and then roots and hairline. Good luck ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kath0291 Posted July 28, 2014 #10 Share Posted July 28, 2014 TRESemme climate control. mousse and hairspray. The only thing I have found that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine5715 Posted July 29, 2014 #11 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I have long hair that frizzes and waves in a bad way in the Florida humidity. I have found the following products to be life changing.. John Frieda Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner to start Usually apply any deep conditioning mask regularly but here's the life changing best ever.. John Frieda 5 day Straight- you can get at any chain drug or department store..and a good flat iron, they are not all equal. Remington Frizzy Therapy Flat iron is about $30 and does a great job. Will need a flat iron protection spray.. and a ion hair dryer.. don't let hair air dry. Top with Loreal Paris Elnett Satin hair spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise life Posted July 30, 2014 #14 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I live in S. Georgia and I like Bed Head After Party. I get it at Publix sometimes. Totally changes the texture of my hair, really smooths it out. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bling19572010 Posted July 30, 2014 #15 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I recommend having a "Keratin" treatment done by a professional in a salon. It is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelkel2 Posted July 31, 2014 #17 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I second the Joico that was recommended. It's not cheap but it will work. Also sometimes you can get it at tj maxi and sometimes you can't. Same with the Chi. I would also recommend the chi that someone else recommended. It's a smoothing serum that you put in your hair before you blow it dry. I also have this problem and usually when outside for the day I try to just not fight it until I come in and take a shower for dinner. I usually just pull it back and just deal with it that way. I just choose not to spend my time that way. But that's something that I didn't learn until I got older. Try telling a teenager that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueHerons Posted July 31, 2014 #19 Share Posted July 31, 2014 BlueHerons...I also do the Keratin treatment but my stylist told me to only use Keratin shampoo and conditioner. What type of shampoo do you use in between Keratin treatments? Thank you! I really don't shampoo my hair more than once a month because my multiple stylists have told me not too. When I do I use a non sulfate shampoo because sulfates are what break down the keratin. My hair is pretty long so twice a week I get it wet and thoroughly condition it with a good non sulfate conditioner. Right now I'm using Chi. I have dry, coarse, curly hair and the dirtier my hair is, the healthier it is. Because I blow it dry straight, then flat iron the hell out of it, I must take very good care of my hair. Washing it more often would dry it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
