Why does my hair not stay straight?!

I take a shower, comb my hair in the shower to reduce frizz and rinse with cool water to also reduce frizz. I put frizz product on my hair before I blow dry, I comb my hair out to reduce split ends, then blow dry. I wait a while to let my hair settle and then I straighten using a comb. I go to a football game from 7-10 and I get a little sweaty and burned up because its humid and I was with my school in the "Student Section". My hair looked perfect when I got there, I even spritzed some hairspray to keep flyaways down and keep the body. So after a while my hair was thickening and my straightened bangs became curled, even my baby hairs. How can I keep this from happening when I am out with friends or at another football game?

Try to use anti-humidity products. I have the same problem with my hair. Also, do not touch or move your hair...AT ALL. The humidity has developed a layer on your hair and even on your hands and once you run your fingers through, the moisture dampens all through your hair rather than just a layer. I will typically do my hair the day or night before an event so that it has time to settle. If I do my hair right before an event it is very prone to going back to the way it was, especially if I am outdoors. If you still want body the next day, then you can fluff your hair with your blow dryer and add anti-humidity hair spray to add volume.

What smoothing serum do you use? Also if you try a heat protector that has a hold such as the Hot off the press from paul mitchell Spray it in to your damp hair then blow dry and flat iron. I have really really curly thick thick hair and no one ever believes me because i get it super straight and it never frizzes or curls! This exactly what i use and do. I shampoo my hair with Bed head Anti dotes level 2 and rinse with warm water then I use the same conditioner and leave in for about 3-5 min then rinse with cold water. I towel dry my hair to remove as much moisture as possible for less blow dry time, the i apply paul mitchell skinny serum since my hair is so thick i do apply about 4-6 drops to my ends because my hair just sucks it up! I then apply my hot off the press all over my damp hair .I have an ionic blow dryer with 2500 watts and this does make a difference on how smooth i get my hair and also the speed. I use a paddle brush to get my hair super smooth and then I use the babyliss flat iron at about 345 and go section my section. I can do this all in about 40-45 min it really doesnt take to long.

if you dry your hair with paper towels rather than putting your hair in a towel after you shower that helps a lot. it might sound kind of weird, but it definitely helps my har a lot

Make sure your hair is bone dry before using straightners.

I had the same issue and started using Fluff-ease, a pre-wash treatment from Lush cosmetics. I've tested it on days where humidity would be at 80-100% and it worked like a charm. Plus, it smells amazing. Anytime I blow-dry it straight, I end it by giving my hair a blast of cold air-- it keeps it shiny and frizz-free.
