One of the main complaint that folks have about their hair is a lack of moisture. But what does "moisture" mean?
Have you ever noticed that your hair appears longer, frizzier and more elastic during spring/summer months? Well for those who live in humid climates, your chosen location is probably why. Our hair becomes longer in higher humidities and shorter in lower humidities.
So the next time you're complaining about how "thick" the air is with humidity, take stock of what's going on with your hair. Generally, curly hair frizzes up while straight hair losses style and goes limp. Believe it or not, by going from dry to humid climates, your hair can actually change in length by as much as 3 percent.
Now you know why your hair appears shorter even though you haven't changed routines or had a cut.
