What type of ingredients gel should you look for in a humid climate.
  • I live in md and even in the cold it be high humidity. My hair always get poofy in a day after I apply gel. I like my hair to shiny, define nice curls,and not to crunchy. I'm African American and if  I don't use a styling gel my hair will look like a Micheal Jackson bush lol.. I did my own research and learned that its the  pvp that draws moisture even through I use serum with dimethicone. What ingredients are effective for holding my curls in high humidity?I read of polyquaternium -4 is suppose to be good in holding hair in  humidity,little build up,  soft  feel , good wet and dry combing. Also polyquaternium -11 is good but more moisturizing and pvp/pva is good because of the mixture of both.I  actually got my info here http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlreading/curl-products/the-nitty-gritty-details-about-hair-gel. I was thinking about  using aussie instant freezing sculpting gel because of the polyquaternium 4. lol help... me....
