As the country continues to experience the rainy season, Filipinos can expect humidity levels to consequently rise. Humidity is the amount of water vapor present in the air. When hair is exposed to sudden changes in humidity, it affects the hair’s moisture levels and causes a reaction.
The diminishing hair moisture commonly causes frizz. Typically, by midday, the cuticle—or the outermost later of the hair—opens and lets air in, resulting in frizz. Add to that the pollution and strong winds common for denizens of Manila.
