How does natural hair typically react to humidity?

Natural hair often tends to frizz or lose its defined curl pattern in high humidity. This reaction occurs because humidity introduces moisture into the hair strand, which can disrupt the hair's natural curl structure. The added moisture can cause the cuticle, the outer layer of the hair, to lift or expand, leading to frizziness as the individual strands begin to swell and separate.

Additionally, during humid conditions, natural hair may absorb excess water, which can alter its texture and style. The normal curl pattern may become different or less defined, resulting in a less polished look. Many people with natural hair choose specific products that can help combat this effect, such as anti-humidity sprays or styling creams designed to retain curl definition and minimize frizz, but the baseline reaction remains consistent.

In contrast, the other options suggest positive outcomes or improved manageability under humid conditions, which typically are not the case for natural hair.
