Ok, so Mardi Gras is worth a trip, but living here wouldn't be a party for your hair, seeing as it ranks as the 9th most humid city and 8th wettest.

No. 9: Tucson, Arizona
Here is another "Sunshine Factory" city. If you haven�t noticed already, too much sun is a no-no for your hair. Don�t believe us? Stop by the University of Arizona for some basic math classes: sun damage + hard water = dry, brittle locks.

California dreamin'? Let�s just say FresNO. It's the 7th sunniest city in the nation and is in the top ten for most polluted cities, which means a nightmare for your hair.

No. 6: Pensacola, Florida
White beaches might lure you to the peninsula but as one of the wettest cities an umbrella will constantly cover your head. Not to mention it might be difficult to find hip style advice around town, seeing as it's a top destination for retirees.

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?
