Celebrity Hairstyle and Makeup How-Tos
Need a prom hairstyle or a look for your high school reunion? You came to the right place

These towns have the worst conditions for hair. Is it time for you to call the movers?
We all have bad hair days, but instead of cursing the mighty hair gods and calling in sick, you might want to consider packing your bags. There are a number of factors contributing to frustrating frizz and dried out strands, but as it turns out it, they could all be due to the city you call home. From looking at national averages of humidity/wind/rain/sun, water-hardness, pollution levels and even the number of salons in the area, Totalbeauty.com has located the worst cities for your 'do. Did your city make the list?

I have family in Hawaii, so my trips there are frequent and I can tell you being half fillipino/hawaiian I have semi-thick,semi-wavy,semi-dry long hair and I have yet to have a good hair day while I'm visiting. On the other hand, I am only 2 hours from Vegas and am used to the dry whether. I may sweat to death while walking on the strip, but my hair stays in place. I frequent our California beaches and as soon as I hit anything past the O.C. it's frizz city...so I believe that if you live somewhere long enough you will adapt to having great hair no matter where you are! I think the article reference "only a handful" of stylist within a certain city pertains to getting a "haircut" and getting a "hairstyle". I wouldn't want to go to Joe the Barber or Jane fresh out of beauty school.

Yes! I am so glad to see other Vegas ladies representing! Vegas weather= great hair! I've been living in Louisiana for the past few years and I can't wait to move back to Vegas and have cute hair again! No humidity, no rain!

I lived in Phoenix for many years. It's true, it's dry air, hot weather, and hard water. I now live in Corpus Christi but the humidity has not caused my hair to be frizzy at all. I guess you have to have curly hair to begin with!!

Ummm, lets just say Hawaii is totally missing from this, we may not have pollution but we are super close to the equator and have extreme humidity. We also cant spend every day at the beach. Trying to look nice and commute in this weather in office appropriate clothing is seriously a challenge. Luckly, I get a straight perm either wise my normally wavy hair would be a hot mess.

Imagine my surprise when I clicked the 'next' button to show Corpus Christi Tx as the No.1 Worst Hair Cities. I currently live in Corpus Christi, and while this may or may not be true regarding humidity, the statement that we only have a handful of hair salons is completely false. This statement alone makes discredits the entire article. Our yellow pages includes 11 whole pages of beauty salons when including listings and advertisements. This article was simply written in a way to hide its true agenda - HAIR PRODUCT ADVERTISING. This article stinks.

In defense of Cincinnati, I have to say there are far more hairdressers in Cincinnati than eight. I think the fact that the yellowpages only lists eight stylist has more to do with the yellowpages becoming obsolete as opposed to the number of great hairdressers in Cincinnati. Robin Feltner

It was just announced TODAY on the local news in Pittsburgh that it's 2nd only to Los Angeles for air pollution.

The Spelling Cops here. Olympia is the capital city of Washington not the capitol city. The location of the seat of government is the capital with an "-al." The building where the legislature meets is the capitol building. That's capitol with an "-ol." No need to thank us because we're just helpful this way.
