Temperature and humidity levels can affect one’s hair a lot more than you may think. I’ve experienced this greatly throughout the years. My hair is naturally curly, so it is particularly susceptible to such things. Yes, it is very true that air conditioning and heating can impact the way your hair looks. I live down South, so using our air conditioning device is a pretty constant thing in our house. When I cut my hair at the start of the new year, I was using our gas furnace more than I was using the air conditioning unit. Our bed is positioned directly underneath the air vent. The gas furnace would be blasting on me and my hair throughout the entire night. I realized that the heat was causing my hair to be severely dry when I woke up, so I ended up shifting the direction that the air vent faced. I was only partially successful in doing this, so the heat only shifted a bit. I also noticed that when the temperature control was set to a temperature that was too high, my curls would receive too much humidity and get frizzy. On the opposite end of the spectrum, when the temperature control was set too low, my curls would suffer. It’s been challenging, but I’m learning a lot about my hair and I suppose this has helped me come to understand and accept myself.
