Hard-to-manage hair needs protection from humidity!
Natural curls and waviness are caused by the excess moisture which enters the shaft due to raised cuticles. Not just on rainy days or during the rainy season, but for hair with troublesome curls and waviness in general, it is important to keep the inside of hair fully hydrated to prevent excess moisture from entering. Furthermore, if the inside of hair is softened with lipids, the coarseness will go away, making hair easier to style.
Spa-Expert Hiromi Koyano explains about the effective way to deal with natural curls and waviness even in humidity
Women who are bothered by their natural curls and waviness should consult a Spa-Expert. The Spa-Expert should give the customers stress-free tips on how to care for their hair at home based on lifestyle and preference! We asked Hiromi Koyano of Refuge liitta about how to keep hair manageable in any kind of season.

Daily at-home care is the key to dealing with natural curls and waviness
As a Spa-Expert who understands the concerns of customers, I tailor my recommendations according to each individual when they come to the salon. However, the chance for me to give face-to-face advice is only about once every 2 months. So, it is essential to keep the hair in good condition and enhance its beauty with daily at-home care. My recommendation to you is to add the mask to your shampoo and treatment routine to soften the hair from the inside, and then apply the leave-in treatment to block the humidity from the outside. Hair with a silky-smooth surface dries quickly with a hair dryer, and is soft for easy styling, so you can save time in the busy mornings. At-home care is the quickest way in getting to like your own hair. As a Spa-Expert, I would like to help change what my customers feel as a flaw into something they find attractive.
Styling tips to reduce habits and swells

Looking at the overall balance, use a curling iron to curl the areas where you wish to make soft and airy. You can give a light and airy impression by making the most of your natural curls.
