Surviving Hong Kong’s warmer seasons requires a beauty arsenal of humidity-fighting products. In these damp times, our hair reacts to the air’s rising moisture content with uncooperative frizziness that can sabotage a styled, put-together look. Maintaining sleek hair doesn’t just require smoothing and hydrating styling products, but also benefits from clever tools such as a hair turban towel or silk pillowcase. Ahead, see our favourite humidity-proof hair products to keep the frizz at bay
