2025 Anti Humidity and Heat Protectants That Work?

[Angel of the North]

I'm wanting to rollerset my hair sometime soon, but with my very frizzy, low porosity hair, and puffy roots syndrome, I need some recommendations on anti humidity products and heat protectants find products that work.

Most of the threads on this topic date back to 2008, I'm assuming that there are many newer products available now. So, what's the best anti frizz/humidity products heat protectant. I don't mind if it's one product or separate products that work well together. It could be a process/mix of using products from shampoo to finish.

Too much time goes into a rollerset to be looking jacked up within a couple of hours

It’s not a perfect process but I use a combination of things to help if I have something I really want my hair to behave for.

1. Firstly - the chi thermal conditioner. That will really help with frizz. I don’t like it as a main conditioner so I will use it after whatever conditioner I actually wanted to use.
2. Use my leave in mix as usual
3. Use chi keratin leave in and Kenra blow dry mist and blow dry with the rev air ( wetter hair leaves straight met results)
Seal with a coney oil if I’m just blow drying or proceed to flat ironing.

Chi silk infusion is a bit heavy for my fine hair so I’ve been experimenting using aerosol heat protection. But if you don’t have fine hair it may work well. I’m using a combination of Redken thermal heat protection and oribe heat protection

Have you tried this product? Did it work to de-puff your roots?

I have had this problem as well. One thing I've been trying lately is to apply foam/mousse very close to my roots, and then MASSAGE THE FOAM into my hair, like I'm using the foam/mousse to SHAMPOO my hair. Then I take one of those finger brushes and brush the foam/mousse all the way through from root to ends. That has helped a bunch.

I am yet to try this product as I don't think it's available over here yet, it looks pretty new from what I can tell when trying to find it.

That's virtually what this video says

Thank you for sharing, Ihave fine strands too. Last night I was looking into heat protectants and products to help with frizz. The CHI essentials kit and the Redken thermal heat protection both are on my list of things to try. I have made a note about the CHI conditioner

@Yvette 2.0 I have found a few videos on YT about curl training, hair, I haven’t gotten around to watching them yet but, I can post them if you would like to see them.

Sure! I'd love to see them. I'll watch once I get a chance. I need to now finish my hair for church. Thank you for sharing!

There was a lot more than I realised. These look like the ones that will probably offer more information. It's possible that we maybe familiar with what they might say, I won't know until I watch them though, I'll get around to it soon

I will find a way to combat my frizz! I'm wondering if I will need to use a whole system for this. So far I have not had any luck with products alone, and I also think I've avoided smoothing lines as they tend to be protein based. I think I need to look at full lines that only contain mild proteins. Keratin is usually the protein ingredient used in smoothing lines, I'm pretty sure my hair is okay with this in small doses, I need to check my hair journal.

I am a big user of old school Nariobi and Lottabody setting lotions and have used them since the 90s. I particularly like the Nairobi texturizing lotion, Nairobi wrapped shine it foam, or the concentrated Lottabody setting lotion. The concentrated versions of the setting lotion allow me to style it as soft or firm as I want. I top the freshly set hair with one of those flexible-medium hold antihumidity hairsprays, and that combination works pretty well for a style to last. The It's a 10 Finishing Spray has been working pretty well. Many new products work well. I try those out but that old school Lottabody and Nairobi never disappoint on my hair.

I like moisture-rich shampoos and conditioners. The lengthy strand haircare line has become a staple...the entire line. A former member of the board makes this line and it is fantastic.

Are these the styles you want to achieve? Ouidad makes good anti-humidity products for curly styles.

Yes, a frizz free WAG, but also roller sets and a silk press. I don't expect one product to do all 3 styles, so I am open to trying different products. I've just checked them out, it looks like they have products that work together to help minimise frizz and define the curls. I will add them to my list, which seems to be never ending Thanks for the recommendation



@Yvette 2.0 I have used the Lottabody concentrated setting lotion for my roller sets back in the day, I've never tried the Nairobi products, but I have the Lottabody wrapping and setting foam on my to buy list.

I have a long list of products I want to try.... There's a list of gels, heat protectantscand anti humidity products. I'm going to work my way through the lists.

I picked up a random hair gel today lol, it was an anti frizz, curling gel by VO5. I went to check out the Aunt Jackie's and ended up buying that instead. I actually quite like the VO5 products that I've used over the years.

That's annoying and disappointing. They'renot exactly a budget friendly brand, you kind of expect better from them. Would you mind to elaborate on your experience with it? TIA

Now, it's going to take me ages to work my way through this list, it's also not everything I have on my would like to try list.

The Fantasia heat protectant has been a staple of mine for years (since the days of using a pressing comb on my hair). I still have some in my collection. I just don’t use it as often on my own hair due to trying other products lol.

The Ouidad Climate Control gel was complete trash on my hair. I didn’t necessarily use it for the climate control effects but just as a gel, it left my hair dry and with zero definition for my texture. Horrible.

I have and use the Sabino Moisture Block (sparingly because it is quite a thick and heavy product). I find that nothing actually stops my hair reverting but they work well as heat protectants.

Now saying that, the Colorwow product did work well to delay reversion when straightening but I find you really do have to use a lot of it- making sure you completely saturate the hair.

I haven’t used the Amika products listed because I already have heat protectants, but I really enjoy the Amika products that I do use.

For me, I find that if I haven’t straightened my hair in a while, it tends to revert faster than when I’ve pressed my hair more frequently.

Thank you for your reviews, that's very helpful. I haven't straightened my hair 5 - 6 years, the last roller set my hair saw was somewhere between 2012 and 2013. I used to use the Fantasia heat protectant serum and the spray. It's been so long, I need to revisit them again and also compare them with some others.

ETA: The Sabino Moisture Block has many positive reviews both across this board and online, I'm looking forward to trying it out, it's one of the more expensive ones on my list as I can only get it from Amazon and it's £47, I don't mind paying that if it works.

I have the colour wow, I haven't tried it yet but, the reviews have been very positive on this one. I definitely need to take a closer look at the Ouidad one, I'm not looking for a gel, more a serum or a spray.
