Beat the Frizz: Easy Summer Hairstyles for Southern Humidity
———
With Alabama’s summer weather bouncing between steamy heat and nonstop rain, good hair days can feel few and far between. The humidity alone is enough to undo hours of effort—so having go-to styles that work with the weather (instead of against it) is a must.
Here are a few easy, stylist-approved looks that hold up—no matter what the forecast throws your way.

1. Sleek Low Bun
When in doubt, slick it back. A low bun is one of the easiest humidity-proof styles that works for any occasion. Smooth a bit of Oribe Supershine Moisturizing Cream through damp or dry hair to fight frizz and add polish. Use a tiny amount of Gold Lust Hair Oil to finish the look, focusing on mid-lengths and ends. Mist with Superfine Hair Spray to lock it in place without crunch.

2. Effortless Braid or Swept-Up Pony
A loose braid or mid-to-high ponytail with a little volume at the crown is perfect for keeping hair off your neck and humidity in check—especially with extensions. For smoothness and hold, prep your hair with Oribe Matte Waves Texture Lotion to add soft, lived-in texture without any crunch. Finish with Imperméable Anti-Humidity Spray to lock it in and keep flyaways down all day.

3. Half-Up Twist or Clip Style
Need something quick but cute? Twist the top section into a bun or secure it with a claw clip for an easy style that keeps the frizz-prone crown under control. Spritz in Oribe Foundation Mist before styling to lightly hydrate and protect against heat and UV exposure, then set your final look with Superfine Hair Spray for a soft, brushable hold.

4. Natural Texture with Definition
Let your hair do its thing—but better. For waves or curls, apply Oribe Curl Gloss or Hair Alchemy Heatless Styling Balm to damp hair, then air dry or braid it overnight for easy definition. It’s perfect if you’re trying to skip the heat tools but still want hair that looks intentional and put-together.

5. The Long-Lasting Blowout
If you’re going for sleek and smooth, it starts with prep. Ask your stylist about Oribe Imperial Blowout Transformative Styling Crème—a powerful styling treatment that strengthens, softens, and helps create a long-lasting, humidity-resistant blowout. It smooths frizz and holds your style for days, even in Alabama’s muggy weather.
