An accessorised up-do is a great choice for humid days. Not only will the pretty clips keep frizz locked down (and look lovely) - they'll prove a great distraction from any flyaways.
Headbands
If Chanel say it's OK to start wearing headbands again, then it's OK. A loose up-do will disguise frizz while the band will keep tresses locked-down.

A textured French braid is perfect for humid days; add plenty of root lift spray before you style and finish with a spritz of firm hold hairspray to fight flyaways.
IndigitalThe twist
This super-messy Fendi twist will only look better when humidity strikes; spritz hair through with salt spray before styling to give a controlled textured finish.
Rex FeaturesLock down
Tightly-wound double French braids are pretty much weather-proof. Come on humidity; do your worst. Be sure to apply a mousse or salt spray through locks before styling for extra hold.
IndigitalCrimp it
Confuse frizz-prone hair by adding extra texture in the form of crimped sections swept back into a low ponytail. This way the added volume and frizz will look deliberate.
Rex FeaturesHalo braid
A loose, multi-strand halo braid is messy enough to look even better once the humidity adds a little extra texture to your locks.
IndigitalMulti-bun
Shorter hairs are those most likely to be affected by frizz in the humidity, so keep all your hair locked down with a multi-bun up-do like this catwalk style.
IndigitalWet-look
Wet-look hair is a top trend for summer, and humid weather is the perfect time to tap into it. Add a gel-spray product through the upper lengths of locks and when wet, slick back behind your ears and finish with a holding spray.
GoRunwayPin it
Divide your hair into two sections and twist back from the temples, adding in hair the lower you get. When both twists meet, pin into a bun and secure with plenty of pins down each side. Carry a pocket full of bobby pins for when the humidity strikes.
GoRunwayBallet bun
Nothing will keep your locks in place quite as well as a hair net; and lucky for you this sleek ballet bun is on trend for the summer. Pull hair back into a tight high ponytail and spray into place before twisting hair into a bun and pinning it securely with a net.

A summery topknot is perfect for when frizz levels are high. Just scoop your locks into a high pony and twist locks into a high bun, letting the knot peek over your head. Flyaways will just add to the relaxed summer vibe of this look.
Rex FeaturesTousled tresses
If you'd rather not sweep your hair back into an up-do as the frizz-factor raises, opt for beachy tousled tresses that will look better with a little extra volume. Spritz locks with salt spray and carry it with you to touch up throughout the day.

Using serums, oils and glosses in humid conditions is always a good idea. Slick back your locks and keep it simple with a centre parting for a frizz-free mane.
