How humidity is not-so-secretly fucking with your hair happiness behind your back - and how to tell it to bite you.

I received an email from a client last week that was both desperate and wildly comical.

She had her new routine down when she was home in Tampa, but traveling to places with such different climates had her wondering why her curls would look perfect one day and wild the next. Here is an excerpt from her email about some of the issues she's been having with her curls being unpredicatble depending what city she is in.  Have I mentioned how funny she is?
