How to Keep Hair from Curling with Humidity
Three Parts:Prepping Your HairSealing the CuticleKeeping Out the FrizzCommunity Q&A
Regardless of your hair type, when there's moisture in the air and you've just styled your hair, frizz is always a threat. Creating the foundation for a frizz-free hair routine, seals in the moisture and blocks out the humidity. Just a few tricks of the trade create the barrier you need to protect your hair from the humidity while also giving you the confidence to step out of the house with your hair wild and free even on the most humid of days.
Part 1
Prepping Your Hair
1Lock in moisture with a good shampoo and conditioner. If you moisturize your hair with a good shampoo and conditioner, then your hair won't "puff out" to absorb more moisture from the surrounding air. Dry hair, especially curly hair, needs lots of moisture because it's on the drier end of the spectrum compared to straight hair. So, if you have curly hair or textured hair, moisturizing is the key to limiting frizz when it's humid.[1]
- Get shampoos and conditioners for your hair type. Shampoos and conditioners are usually labeled and will indicate which ones are appropriate for the different thicknesses ( fine, medium, thick/coarse) and textures of hair. Thicker and more textured hair types usually need creamier or thicker formulas.
- If you have thick textured hair or really curly hair, deep condition your hair with your favorite deep conditioners. It helps to lock in moisture that textured hair really needs because its drier than other hair types.[2]Deep conditioning usually entails letting the conditioner sit in your hair for much longer -- maybe even an hour. To lock in the moisture from the deep conditioner, put a plastic cap over your head. Then, sit under a hooded dryer. If you don't have a hooded dryer, use a regular dryer to blast some heat over your head for a few minutes. The heat helps to seal the moisture into your hair.[3]
2Squeeze out excess water from wet hair. Don't ruffle the cuticle by drying your hair with a towel.[4]Hair cuticles have lots of ridges. When you ruffle the cuticle by drying your hair with a towel, it rustles up the ridges in the cuticle, making it look rough instead of smooth, which frizzes your hair. Instead of using a towel, squeeze the water out of your hair. If you must use a towel, use a microfiber towel or an old t-shirt to absorb some of the excess water.[5]Both help smooth the cuticle down and limit frizz.
3Apply a serum or cream to damp hair. These serums and creams lock in the moisture when you apply it to damp hair. They also help control flyaways because the oils in the products coat your hair, creating a barrier between your hair and the humid air. It almost acts like a repellent.
- Use a serum made with natural oils such as a Moroccan oil. Your hair absorbs the products made with natural oils better; they don't just sit on top of your hair like products made with synthetic oils.[6]
- If you have thick hair, dry hair or color-treated hair, then a cream may work better. [7]Apply it from root to end to cover all of your hair If you're using a cream for thick hair. If you're using a serum and your hair is thinner, apply it from the mid-length of your hair to the ends.[8]
Part 2
Sealing the Cuticle
1Allow your hair to air dry a bit. Don't immediately blast it with a blow dryer. Allow it to air dry at least partially. Allowing your hair to dry slowly and naturally keeps your hair in place instead of blowing it around, which can cause frizziness. If you blow dry without smoothing it out, it also can make your hair look puffy. So, if you want to blow dry let your hair partially dry naturally first. Or, you can let it air dry completely.[9]
2Blow dry with a boar bristle brush. If you are straightening your hair after letting it air dry, use the blow drier and a boar bristle brush to seal and smooth the cuticle. The best way to do that is to blow dry your hair in a downward motion while using the boar bristle brush to smooth it out as you go. This smooths the cuticle down, while the heat from the blow dryer seals in the moisture and locks it in. If moisture is sealed inside your hair cuticle, it is less likely to attract the moisture in the air and become frizzy.[10]
- Boar bristle brushes are made from a natural material --keratin -- the same material that your hair is made from, which helps the cuticle lay flat. This limits flyaways and frizziness. Drying it without a blow dryer leaves the cuticle a little rougher state, which could lead to frizziness later. For a more polished look, opt for the blow drier.[11]
- While you are blow drying, pay attention to the crown where frizz is really noticeable. If you don't smooth out your roots, you'll look like you have a halo of frizz around your head, and it can make your hair look really frizzy.[12]Make sure your hold your hair taught with the brush as your blow dry the crown of your head.
3Dry the hair completely. It is important that your hair is not damp if you're entering a humid environment. If your hair is damp, it will continue to absorb moisture from the surrounding environment, making it appear puffy and frizzy. So, before you go outside in humid weather, make sure that your hair is dry. Like the serum, dry hair acts as a barrier between your hair and unwanted moisture. Even if you air dry, your hair should still be completely dry before leaving the house.[13]
- Use a cool shot of air on each section of hair you straighten. If your blow dryer has this button it will blast some cool air on your hair. This closes the cuticle, so it seals in the moisture on your hair. It's like putting moisture on your hair, and then closing the door so none can escape.[14]
4Flat iron your hair or use another hot tool. Using additional heat on your after drying your hair can further seal the cuticle, which smooths it down and makes it look shiny. Depending on your hair texture, you may need to smooth and close the cuticle first by blow drying with a round brush before using the hot tool. In other words, flat ironing your hair alone might not be enough to seal the cuticle. It will depend on your hair texture.
Part 3
Keeping Out the Frizz
1Use an anti-frizz hairspray. This spray locks in the moisture. If you are going to use a hot tool, use it before spraying this. If you use a non-aerosol spritz, it may reintroduce moisture into your hair, which will make it frizz. So, be sure the spray is in an aerosol can. Otherwise, you might be taming the "frizzies" even sooner than you thought. [15]
2Comb it. Don't brush it. Brushing your hair in humid weather will make it frizz out, especially if you have curly hair. If you must use a styling tool, opt for a comb or -- even better -- your fingers. Your fingers are much gentler and won't snag your hair. It also won't separate your curls, which often leads to puffy frizzy hair especially in humid weather.
3Put your hair up. If all else fails, braid it, twist it or put it up in a bun. Securing your hair away in a protective style helps to protect it from the humid air. Just in case the humidity does affect your hair, you don't have to worry about frizz or looking like a "poof ball." It will be contained. Plus, when you take your hair down at the end of the night, you'll have a soft wave instead of loads of frizz.[16]
- The types of braids you can try include fish braids, french braids, corn rows or the common three-strand braid. Opt for french braids or cornrows for longer lasting styles that may last a few days.
- If you like buns, top knots, or chignons try wearing that on raining days instead of wearing your hair out. Wear one on top of your head -- ballerina-style -- or at the base of your neck like the French often do. You could even twist your hair and pin it up with a butterfly clip.
4Use a straightening treatment such as a Brazilian straightening technique, relaxer, or keratin treatment to alter the texture and curl-pattern of your hair. Although all hair types and textures are prone to humidity, changing the texture of your hair permanently or semi-permanently might help to eliminate the degree of frizz on humid days even if it does not eliminate it completely.There's no guarantee that it will eliminate frizz completely because moisture makes the hair cuticle bend and curl as it tries to absorb the moisture from the air. This is the case even if it has been straightened.
- Hair that is more fragile and porous -- curly, wavy, kinky-curly hair and color-treated hair -- is especially prone to humidity even if you have straightened it.
- Generally, drier hair textures are affected the most by humidity because they require the most moisture and your hair will try to get it anywhere it can even the air.
5Straighten your hair using a method that is appropriate for your hair. Talk to a hair stylist to get an idea about straightening treatments that will be good for your hair. Because some treatments are too strong or too weak for some types of hair, you'll need a consultation to make sure you use the right treatment for your hair type. Generally, the texture and curl pattern will determine the techniques that are best for your hair.
- In most cases, chemical lye relaxers are used to permanently straighten extremely curly, kinky-curly and afro-type hair. These methods are permanent.
- Keratin treatments and Brazilian straightening techniques are semi-permanent, and are best used on curly and wavy hair to straighten them. They wear off after about a month though.
- Remember blow drying can straighten any type of hair, but it is most effective against humidity by sealing the cuticle.Review the method in part two.
6Seal the cuticle of your chemically-straightened or colored hair. Straightening techniques usually makes your hair drier, which makes your hair more susceptible to frizz on humid days. Most likely, you will still need to seal the cuticles of hair using the techniques mentioned above even if you have altered the state of your hair to be straighter.[17]Follow the steps mentioned in part 2. Apply a serum, blow dry the hair straight with a boar bristle brush, and use a flat iron to seal the cuticle.
- If your hair is color-treated, the same moisturizing techniques that apply to chemically straightened hair still apply. Moisturize and seal the cuticle. Hair dye dries your hair and makes it seek out moisture -- hence, "the frizzies" on humid days.[18]
7Experiment with different techniques. Try a permanent or semi-permanent straightening technique if you wish. Or, blow dry it and see how it holds up against the humidity. You'll need to experiment with various techniques to see which one works best against humidity for your hair.
- Everyone's hair is different. So, keep in mind that while changing the texture of your hair might completely eliminate frizz due to humidity for some, it won't for others. Think carefully before altering the state of your hair with chemicals. If the treatment is permanent, your hair won't revert back to its natural state.
- Some people will never completely be able to eliminate frizz on humid days without the help of a professional hair stylist or at all. So, when in doubt, a protective hairstyle may be your best bet.
Community Q&A
Can I use rubber bands while I sleep to reduce frizzy hair?wikiHow ContributorPutting your hair into a bun or braids is a good idea, but plain old rubber bands are very damaging to hair, especially curly hair. Consider using hair ties (the fabric covered kind) instead. Also, try getting a satin pillow case, or a cotton pillow case with a very high thread count. The smoother the fabric is, the less it will snag on your hair and cause frizz.
How to keep self tanner from causing sweat smudges?
How can I get my straight hair back if it has turned curly?
- Heat and humidity make your skin sticky and damp, which might make you seat. Try wearing your hair in an up-do or away from your face and neck -- the areas most prone to sweating. This will help keep your hair from frizzing.
- Wear a hat or loosely pin up your hair until you get inside and out of the humid weather.
- Read product labels to make sure you purchase the right products for your hair.
- After blow drying each section of hair on the hot setting, press the cool shot button on the blow dryer to help seal in moisture. (Cool air closes the cuticle.)
- Invest in good hair dryer and a decent boar brush if you plan on straightening your hair often. Good tools can make all the difference.
- If you have curly hair, deep condition to lock our in moisture.
- Keep a few hair ties handy in case you're out and about and your hair is noticeably starting to frizz so you can tie it up for example braiding your hair.
- For those who suffer deeply from frizzy curls in humidity, consider your location. If possible, move to northern-most areas. In addition, avoid marshy areas or places near the coast.

They grudgingly agreed to process the transaction, and I was charged $7.40 for shipping. However, 2 weeks went by without a phone, so I called, and the running around started. I lost my cool after speaking with six agents who had no clue, including Verizon that has just bought Alltel.
They claimed that there was no record of the transaction despite the fact that I was issued a phone number (517-825-9402). I told them that my credit card had been charged on 11/05/09, indicating their company name and virginia beach as the source. They claimed that I had been a victim of fraud and they could not help me but I could call their fraud department to report the case. I told them that yes, I have been a victim of fraud perpetrated by AllTEL and now by proxy, VERIZON. I needed to be told something new!
Anyway, I did not get a phone and had to call my CC company to dispute the charges. These companies should not be allowed to get away with this kind of fraudulent behavior! If you do business with a company and you are charged, it is an implied contract that they ought to be held to. Companies need to be made to compensate consumers for breach of contract. If a store charges you more than the displayed ticket price in Michigan, you get double the amount back. The same law should apply to companies that take money and not deliver the goods.

To say Tweco has been around for a few years would be quite the understatement. Back in 1936, Ray Townsend had the crazy idea that improving ground connections would improve the quality of the weld. It didn't take long for him to start marketing his "Red-head" ground clamp and sales took off. The following year, the name Townsend Welding Equipment Company was shortened to Tweco and Ray took his innovative products nationwide.
Over the following decades, Tweco continued expanding their product lines to include metal arc holders, quick-connect cable connectors and eventually a new MIG Gun was introduced that changed the game forever. While the original company was purchased by Pacific Lumber Company (Palco) in 1981 and then Thermadyne in 1987, their drive for innovation and quality hasn't changed. With their recent acquisition by Victor/ESAB, the push to be the industry leader continues.
If you're familiar with the welding industry, you've already noticed that , Victor/ESAB has began an effort to consolidate their brands. Part of the move included Thermal Arc machines receiving a face lift and new name. Tweco Welders at Welding Supplies from IOC are now commonplace and continue the tradition of strong equipment sales. To kick off the launch party, Tweco is introducing the Tweco Fabricator 141i Multi Process Welding System (W1003141). This 3-in-1, MIG, Stick, TIG system is designed to feel at home doing Automotive repair, farm and ranch work, metal and light fabrication jobs and everything in between.

The Mississippi Supreme Court has ruled that Medicaid officials should have asked the state legislature for approval before tinkering with a law that would change reimbursements for pharmacists.
The Supreme Court Thursday upheld a chancery judge's ruling that the Medicaid Division had no authority to change how pharmacists were paid to fill prescriptions for program participants.
The pharmacies sued Medicaid in 2008 shortly after the program sought to implement the new method of payments.
The pharmacies said state law gives lawmakers sole authority to change the reimbursement plan, unless there is a federal mandate.

Looks like there is a bug in Theme Options -> Featured Slider -> Slider Options settings.
I don't want any blurb to show up on the header image.
So I set Number of slides to 0 and then save the settings.
But this makes the default Kathmandu images and 4 sliders show up below my main header Featured Image - displaying two Featured Header Images!
If I set Number of Slides to 1, then the default images don't show up but then I have to also enter a post-id and have that be displayed on the header Featured Image.
Is there any way to fix this or a workaround for this?

Author David Gassner explains how to choose a JDBC driver and connect to one or more databases. He also provides detailed instructions on reading, selecting, and updating data; calling stored procedures; managing data via JavaBean classes or with prepared statements; and working with metadata.
- Importing a MySQL database
- Connecting to databases
- Handling JDBC exceptions
- Looping through result sets
- Limiting the number of fetched rows
- Filtering data with prepared statements
- Calling stored procedures
- Inserting, updating, and deleting rows with prepared statements

- Committing and rolling back transactions
Skill Level Intermediate
In most database application environments, you already know the database structure, the names of the tables, the number, and types of the columns, and so on, but there are times when you have to discover this information dynamically, and JDBC gives you that ability through a function called metadata. The term metadata in the context of databases describes exactly the sort of information, and you can get the metadata from a database connection quite easily. I'll do an initial demonstration of this functionality in a project named Table List.
I'm using a Singleton Connection Manager which I have described how to build in a previous exercise. I have gotten a reference to my connection, and then within the try catch block, I'm going to add some data to get a list of tables that's in my database. Within the try block, I'll first declare an object instantiated as DatabaseMetaData. As with many other objects in JDBC, you might see more than one version. Always be sure to choose the version from java.sql for maximum portability. I'll name this object metadata.
Then I'll get its reference from the connection object's getMetaData method. You'll see a couple of versions listed, but in fact, there is only one. The getMetaData method takes no arguments. I'm going to interrogate this object to get a list of tables. There are actually many different types of tables in a database. But the only ones I'm interested in are the ones that contain my data. And there's a series of database types that I can select from. To control which database table names are returned, I'm going to create an array of strings, and I'll name it tableTypes, and I'll declare the array as a pair of braces, and I will only have it contain one item.
All database management systems should support this table type, but the number and names of the different table types will then vary from one database management system to the next. Now, I'm going to get the list of tables. It's going to come back as a result set. I'm going to name the result set RS Tables, and to properly manage it, first I will declare the result set outside of the try catch block. I'll declare it with a data type of ResultSet, then rsTables as the object name, and I'll initially set it to null.
Then within the try block, I'll instantiate it with rsTables=metadata.getTables. The getTables method takes four arguments, the catalog which is the name of the database which I have already selected in my connection string, so I don't need to pass it in again. I'll set that to null, the schemaPattern which I'll set as a wildcard of a percent sign, the tableNamePattern which I'll also set with a percent sign wildcard, and the tableTypes which will be my array of strings that I already created.
The result set will come back with a column named table_name. So now, to print out the list of tables, I'll create a while loop, and I will iterate with a condition. The condition will be rsTables.next. So I am going to be moving forward through the ResultSet and working with each row one at a time. Then within the while loop, I'll use system output, and I'll output the value of rsTables.getString, and I'll pass in the name of the column TABLE_NAME. When I'm done, I'll need to close the result set.
As with all result sets, you will typically do this in a finally block. So I'll move the cursor there and call rsTables.close. I'll save my changes and run the code, and there is my list of tables in my backend database. You're able to do a lot more than this with the database metadata, including finding out about columns, their names, and their datatypes. I'll show you how to do some of these other tasks in another video.

Great replacement bore scope light!
By ShooterEd

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
Received as a Christmas gift. Smaller light is a perfect replacement bore scope light for firearms cleaning/inspection. The longer light is excellent for long gun inspection.
Decent for the Price
By Chet
from Gilbert, AZ
About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
The brand name changed from Harbor Freight's signature house brand Pittsburgh Automotive to Gordon but it's the same light combo, same price. The long light with 2 AA batteries is very useful. The tip is 0.30 inches in diameter at the widest section. The aluminum tip with the bulb screws into the flexible conduit so check to make sure it isn't coming unscrewed before each use. Definitely not waterproof, but it might survive a brief immersion.The flexible hose, or arm, is the biggest plus here. It has the perfect rigidity to maintain whatever shape you bend it to. And it isn't a wimpy little thing you need to treat gently, either.The big light is plenty bright, in my opinion. Consider the specialty uses which this flex light is for, that it's powered by two AA 1.5V batteries, is a single LED, and is going to probably have the batteries corrode before you use up all the current in them, and it starts to look pretty decent.I will say that the smaller flashlight performed almost precisely as a previous reviewer reported: Turned it on once, it worked, turned it off, then turned it on again and it doesn't work. Looking closely, it appears that the switch works because there is the dimmest of light at the LED tip - about as much illumination as a tritium watch face. Rather than see if the hammer adjustment is called for, I removed the three (3) LR44 batteries and checked them. They were all at 1.56V or higher; good to go. Re-installed batteries after cleaning bit of green corrosion off of inner terminal flap, and it was worse than before. Salvaged the batteries and the LED bulb, then gave it the hammer adjustment. It doesn't work at all now and I, also, cannot figure out why.For $9.00 you'd be hard pressed to find a better flexible pen light deal. The big one, I mean.
great for the price
By Lee
from durham nc
Tends to flicker on and off a lot, which is really frustrating, but it's better than nothing for getting a light into tight places.
Only one worked
By ...you asked
from Berkeley, Ca
The price seemed right. The longer of the two works well, but the first time I tried the smaller one the switch fell apart in my hand, not exactly instilling confidence. Not really worth returning and I do like the quality of the larger one. If you want a nice inspection light, I use it to look inside musical instruments, the price is right on this one; if you want two inspection lights maybe not such a bargain.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Flex Light
By geo
from phila
The long led light is well built and the removable tip magnet is very useful. However, it would be much better if the light was brighter,it's just too weak, in my opinion. HF should provide the lumens so people can get an idea of its brightness.

It's alright but cheap
By BnGary
from Tacoma, WA
About Me Auto Enthusiast
The longer of the two is alright and helped me out when trying to look down into a tight spot, could be brighter but is just OK.The smaller one broke second time I pressed the rubber button, pressed it on and it worked, pressed it again to turn it off and the rubber button cover poped off so I had to use a small screw driver to push the rubber around to get it back in to where it's supposed to be and then when I turned it on again the stupid rubber thing came off again so I took my hammer and smashed it and now it doesn't work at all and I can't figure out why.

Northwood recently hired a code enforcement officer to cite property owners who have unkempt yards.
Rob Barrett, a retired police officer, will issue citations to property owners who do not maintain their properties, which causes area land values to drop.
"He is looking for parking violations on cars without current registration, cars in yards with flat tires, and properties that have tires piled up in backyards - things like that," said Northwood City Administrator Bob Anderson.
Lake Erie anglers should experience another year of diverse fishing opportunities in 2016, according to Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).
Lake Erie walleye and yellow perch fisheries are managed through an interagency quota system that involves Ontario, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio. Each jurisdiction regulates its catches to comply with quotas and minimize the risk of over-fishing these species. Quotas for the upcoming fishing season are determined through consensus agreement by these jurisdictions through the Lake Erie Committee of the Great Lakes Fishery Commission, which were just recently announced for 2016.
As a result of the 2016 quota allocation, the walleye daily bag limit is four, and the yellow perch daily bag limit is 30 per angler in Ohio waters of Lake Erie until April 30. The daily bag limit will be six walleye from May 1 through Feb. 28, 2017. From March 1, 2017 through April 30, 2017, the daily walleye bag limit will be four. A 15-inch minimum size limit is in effect during the entire season for walleye.
Last fall, just before Oregon voters went to the polls to decide whether to pass a 3.95-mill operating levy for the school district, Superintendent Hal Gregory and School Board President Carol Molnar took out an ad in The Press that explained where the estimated $1.9 million annual revenue would go should the levy pass.
The ad stated that the funds would "exclusively" go toward extra-curricular activities and Clay's Career Technical programs.
The half-page ad, with the headline "Open letter to the residents of Oregon and Jerusalem Township communities," was nine paragraphs long.
Kelly Dean considers herself a "long-term" East Toledoan — she raised her children here, has invested in the community, and now she has an opportunity to give back to the community.
Dean, a Toledo Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) and AmeriCorps neighborhood outreach coordinator, has a plan — "to engage and empower existing neighborhood leaders and identify new leaders in the Birmingham neighborhood."
Growing up, her family was in the construction business, so when she sees an East Toledo property in disrepair, she can assess whether it can be rehabilitated or must be torn down.
One component of the FirstEnergy rate plan recently approved by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio is front and center in complaints now on file before a federal regulator.
Depending on which side of the rate case you're on, what is called the Retail Rate Stability Rider is either a form of rate insurance to shield consumers from rate volatility or a bailout for FirstEnergy's Ohio utilities that transfers costs and risks of the aging coal-fired and nuclear plant to consumers.
After the PUCO approved a plan that would be in effect from June of this year through May 2024, the case is now pending before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
