BeachBride- do you have straight or curly hair?
I have super curly hair and I use Pantene Pro-V Style Classic Total Control Gel, Maximum Hold. (long name, I know).
It doesn't make my hair as crunchy and wet looking as other brands and it really holds my curls together well and help keep them from frizzing.
My hairdresser started using Moroccan Oil on my hair a few months ago...I LOVE it!!!! I buy it from her salon but here's their website http://www.moroccanoil.com/
My hair gets super frizzy (from years of coloring) and this is by far the best product I have ever used.
I have in between hair... the sides are pretty straight, but the back is sort of kinky-curly. Unfortunately, its not pretty either way... I either need to spend time to MAKE it curly (which doesn't really work too well- it looks like bad perm... I need to find a better way to make it curly) or I need to blow dry it and/or straighten it. I usually wear it up, or blow-dried straight.
I have naturally curly hair, so when I straighten it, if it even things about raining or there is humidity in the air, my hair FREAKS out. The best thing I have found is the Matrix line for either curly or straight hair. If I'm wearing my hair curly, I use the "milk" to keep in under control. I'f I'm wearing it straight, their straightening cream is amazing! I also use the corresponding shampoo and conditioners for each. They sell these now at most drugstores...curly is bright green and straight is orange...but I highly recommend buying them from a salon instead. They are the same price either way.
My hair is wavy, so I'm definitely eager to see what sorts of products people recommend! Anything for curly hair makes my hair too heavy, and anything for straight hair isn't potent enough. I have yet to find something that can handle the humidity of Georgia in the summertime! I wish I was one of those girls who could get sexy, beachy waves, but I can't figure it out! :)
I agree with happilywaiting -- my sister is a stylist and she has been raving about moroccan oil! So far both my other sisters use it as well as some family friends.
I have also used KMS products in the past that seem to work well. they have many different options for all hair types. www.kmscalifornia.com
Drifts-- I want to figure out that sexy beachy hair too!!!! I just can't make it work... I look like I got a bad perm!
Yikes. I chekced out the Moroccan Oil website. Looks like it's kind of hard to get a hold of....
I have naturally curly hair, that poofs like you can't believe with any humidity. I use "sleek and smooth" by back to basics. I haven't seen it in the stores up here, but you can get it from most salons around here. It's in a silver tube that stands on end. It smells really good without making your hair feel sticky or weighted down.
Also a good idea I got from my stylist is to use products with coconut oil in them. It's a natural moisturizer that allows your hair to be styled without creating fly aways and such. I think it's easier to find than moroccan oil, but also heard it's not as good.
I use frederic fekkai glossing cream and it is AMAZING. It makes my hair so smooth and actually keeps it healthy as well. My hairdress told me I had the healthiest long hair she has ever seen.
John Frieda has an amazing line of Weather Works products that have kept my hair (and my mom's hair!) from frizzing up even in Norfolk Virginia in August!! I swear by it. I have the shampoo, conditioner, and frizz-ease serum. I put a dab of that on, straighten my hair, and I lasted 13 hours with no frizz (and no yak horns poking out!)
Do a search for "John Frieda Frizz-Ease Weather Works Weather-Proofing Style Sealant Cream" I swear you won't be disappointed!
I have naturally curly hair and have dealth with the Southern Florida humidity while I was in college. I admit that I straightened my hair for a long time because I couldn't deal with the poof but I've learned to tame it well. I got a great long layered hair cut, which allows the curls to lay straight, not round and I use Paul Mitchel Sculpting Foam. A golf ball size of this smoothed out makes your curls round and beautiful and elminates the frizz! Also sometimes I use 3 pumps of the Sunsilk Captivating Curls Gel & Cream Twist before a smaller amount of the foam.

What is the best anti-frizz product you've used to ward off the humidity? I live in South Florida and am getting married in May, so I want to test a few out before the big day... AND before the rehearsal dinner, which will be outside (big *gulp* for my hairstyle that night!).
