I vowed, when I went through a summer of chemo 11 years ago and was as bald as a cue ball, that I'd never complain about having a"bad hair day" again.
But gosh, I'm getting tired of my summer humidity hair. I feel like a 61-year old Little Orphan Annie.

(63,221 posts)I still have a lot of frizzy fly-aways, but it's a bit more manageable. You can always use hairspray when it's wet and pulled back and it will stay like that until you comb it out again.

(20,318 posts)Find a hair stylist with "Deva Cut" training. They specialize in cutting curly hair to enhance your curls instead of fighting them. You'll have fewer bad hair days. It may cost more per haircut, but you won't have to get your hair cut as often.

(7,822 posts)When I lived in Michigan, my hair was like RoseAnne Rosanadana's.
Now I live in the Mojave Desert and my hair behaves for the most part. The only trouble now is that the hair around my face is very very fine and it tickles my face mercilessly.
