15 Anti-Humidity Hair Products You'll Rely On This Summer For Nearly Every Single Hair Type

Though I was mostly raised in the Canadian cold, frequent vacations to warmer climates and family trips to India brought a stark dose of heat, sweat, and humidity to my skin and hair.

While my skin mostly adjusted, my hair took a bit more time to catch up. My typical thirty-minute curling, straightening, or blow-dry routine would be undone within thirty seconds of being exposed to an Indian summer. No amount of hairspray was a match for the 120-degree heat — in fact, sometimes more product would only make it worse.

I settled into my natural frizz and came to complacently accept it when I was growing up. But, when I took my first job in Singapore, along with it came the necessity to look professional and put together at all times. My hair routine was competing against the ten-minute walk to the train, thirty-minute commute, and then another ten-minute walk to the office.

For the years I lived in Southeast Asia, I cycled through what must have been hundreds of products to curate the routine that was best for me, depending on the style I was going for or how my hair was behaving at the time. I had done so much research that I even curated routines for my friends — ones that some of them still thank me for today, years later.

Frizz is caused when hair gets over-heated and dry. We mindfully keep ourselves hydrated with fluids when we're out in the heat, and our hair needs the same attention. Since we don't need to be oiling our heads every twenty minutes while we're out, these products will keep your hair glossy, shiny, and frizz-free without the grease while you're out.

From gentle, vegan, cruelty-free products for silky straight locks to coarse, thick curls, these are the best sweat-proof, anti-humidity products for nearly every hair type:

Note: I use this on towel-dried hair, focusing on the hair closest to the scalp that's most susceptible to frizz on medium heat, then solidify the style with a shot of cold air. High heat can actually irritate the scalp, making it frizz more easily.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
