Cabello rizado en humedad costera
Coastal San Diego humidity is lower than the East Coast or the Gulf, but it's not low. May Gray and June Gloom bring marine layer that can flip your hair from defined to puffy in one walk to the car. Here's how to plan for it.
Qué hace la humedad
High humidity pulls moisture into the hair shaft. For porous hair (the kind most curly hair is), this happens fast. The result is swelling, frizz, and loss of pattern definition.
Lower humidity does the opposite. Hair gets brittle, defined but dry, sometimes static. Both extremes need different routines.
Mayo gris, junio gloomy, capa marina
These are San Diego's three nicknames for the same phenomenon: a coastal cloud layer that brings cooler temperatures and higher humidity, mostly in late spring and early summer.
Inland Chula Vista (including Eastlake and Otay Ranch) gets less of this than coastal Pacific Beach or La Jolla. But it still affects hair on days when the marine layer pushes east.

Preguntas de humedad
Not always. Anti-humidity finishing spray and a tighter cast help. So does proper drying before stepping outside.
Yes. Color-treated hair is more porous and absorbs moisture faster.
Opposite problem. Add a lightweight oil to the ends and use a leave-in conditioner with more moisture.
Not necessary. The right cut handles humidity better than a shorter cut for the season.
Yes.
