Fine + Straight

While humidity can leave fine hair limp, it also swells the hair shaft up and makes it feel thicker.

"Layered bangs create softness and are lighter than blunt one-length versions, which stick to your forehead when you perspire and cause breakouts," says Tresemmé stylist Nathaniel Hawkins.

Go natural. "Use a bit of thickening lotion or mousse to bulk up your hair," says Hershberger. "If it's short, just push it back or let it hang flat in a boyish way."

Blowdry strategically: To add fullness, rough up the roots with your fingertips, and use a brush (round is best) only to smooth the sides.

"Never brush near your scalp," says Mancuso. "The smoother the roots, the flatter your hair."

A few highlights will add body and texture. But major bleaching will leave your hair weaker—and more prone to humidity and frizz.

Shampoo every day and avoid heavy conditioners. Volumizing formulas are naturally the best.
