Will Human Hair Wigs Get Frizzy in Humid Weather and How to Tame

Yes, human hair wigs can get frizzy in humid weather because it is made from “real human hair”.

Human hair wigs can experience a higher level of frizz than the natural hair on a human’s head because the hair is not in its natural habitat and it’s not receiving natural nutrients from the scalp.

However, with a good care routine that includes the use of anti-humidity hair products can keep the hair smooth and fine.

1. Moisturizing with moisturizing treatments like leave-in conditioners and deep conditioners.
2. Gentle detangling (using finger detangling method and wide-tooth combs).
3. Proper storage, like keeping wigs in a cool, dry place and away from sunlight.
4. Wearing a silk or satin cap while having a wig on.
5. Avoiding heat styling as much as possible.

Following the tips, you can enjoy your human hair wig even in a humid environment.

How Does Humidity Cause Frizz in Your Hair?

Your hair is made of a protein structure within the hair shaft. Now, the water molecule in the air (in a humid environment) is attracted to the protein structure, causing it to swell. This swelling disrupts the hair's natural alignment.

This disalignment is what gives that frizzy look (yeah, the tumble weed looking hair! Yes.). Frizz is common with naturally curly/wavy hair and generally damaged hair, which is normally high porosity. Even if you do a silk press, the hair can still get frizzy and change shape in humid weather.

Now that you understand the whole concept of humidity and how it causes our hair to frizz, let's go through the top 10 ways to fix it.
