4 Ways for Men to Fix Flat Hair in Humid Weather | GATSBY

How Does Humidity Flatten Your Hair?

Are you wondering why your perfectly styled hair goes flat the moment you step outside? It’s the humidity messing with your hair. The moisture sits on top of your hair and weighs it down… which is why your volume disappears so quickly. Well don’t worry! Flat hair days aren’t forever. Here are 4 simple ways to bring your volume back, even in this weather.

Steps to Take to Keep Your Hair Voluminous in the Humidity

1. Dry Your Hair the Right Way

If you want volume that actually lasts, your hair-drying routine matters a lot. Utilising tools such as a volume pick, shadow brush, or a diffuser can help distribute airflow more evenly, giving your roots a natural boost. Otherwise, you can also utilise a simple round brush to blow-dry your hair upwards, then backwards, using high heat.

Always ensure that you start from the roots to create a strong base for volume. If you’ve got longer hair, blow drying your hair upside down for 10 to 15 seconds works wonders too. Make sure you finish off with a cool shot to lock everything in place!

2. Pick the Right Styling Products

Blow-drying alone isn’t enough to fight humidity, it only sets the base. Without the right styling products, your hair will flatten within minutes. Here’s the backup your hair needs!

Start off with GATSBY Sea Salt Spray Volume Mat as your pre-styling product. It’s great for adding volume as it absorbs moisture, and texturizes your hair. Finally, follow up by styling your hair with GATSBY Fiber Clay to add structure and long-lasting hold.

By combining these two products into your hair routine, your hair would be less vulnerable to flatness in humid weather.

3. Lock In the Volume With Lightweight Hairspray

Once you’ve created the volume, it’s time to set it. Not all hairsprays work the well with humidity. Heavy-duty hair sprays may sound strong, but in humid weather they do the opposite. They weigh your hair down, causing your volume flat, ruining all your effort…

Go for something lightweight like GATSBY Mat & Hard Styling Spray. It sets your style firmly without adding stiffness or clumping, keeping your volume intact throughout the day.

4. Choose Volume-Friendly Hairstyles

Taking all those steps above would not help much if your haircut is working against you. Opt for styles with layers, texture, and movement like a crew cut or textured crop. These cuts naturally add lift and make your hair look fuller without needing too much styling.

Relaxed

Lifted

Here are some keywords that you can mention to your barber:
“Layered, textured, keep it lighter at the top.”
With the right cut, your hair already has a head start against humidity.

Conclusion

Although humidity might be unavoidable, flat hair doesn’t have to be. With the right drying technique, correct styling products, and a haircut that naturally boosts volume, you can keep your style looking fresh no matter how damp the air gets. With these steps, and you’ll walk out the door every day with the volume you deserve!
