I live in South Florida, so trust me when I say: I GET HUMIDITY.

Hot, humid air is almost synonymous with frizzy, “poofy” hair. That’s because humidity is, essentially, water vapor, which soaks into your hair. The finer and more delicate the curls, the more likely your hair is to swell and poof in tropical summer climates.

Curly hair, with its natural tendency to frizz, requires moisturizing products to stay hydrated and frizz-free. Ironically, many of these products contain glycerin, a double-edged ingredient for those of us with fine, delicate curls.

So, let’s talk about it.

GLYCERIN: FRIEND OR FOE

Now, we all want our curls to be well-moisturized and frizz-free, right? That’s where glycerin usually steps in. It’s like the BFF of hydration in many hair products, renowned for its superpower of pulling in moisture. The catch? When it comes to us with fine, delicate curls and a humid environment, glycerin can be a bit of a troublemaker.

Let’s break it down:

Glycerin Pros:

Glycerin is a specific type of alcohol that looks and functions like a fat. It’s famous for its deep, hydrating powers, pulling in greater moisture for your hair. Sounds great, right?

Despite its deep hydrating powers, glycerin can pose challenges for those with curly, finer hair, especially in humid environments.

Downsides of Glycerin:

• Greasy, Sticky Feeling
• Increased Frizz and Lack of Control
• Hair Damage When Used with Heat
• Unpredictable Results
• Glycerin also pulls more water from the air (which is the last thing you want for your curls when you’re trying to fend off the frizz monster)

CHOOSING WISELY: GLYCERIN-FREE STYLING

Fine-haired beauties like us know that having that extra control over our curls is a game-changer. By opting for the right glycerin-free products, you can worry less about your curls and focus more on enjoying the outdoor weather! The key is finding products that rely on natural oils rather than glycerin for moisture. Specifically, lightweight oils that soak in quickly without leaving behind any greasy residue.
