Hi guys,
It's been a typical hot summer here is south east Queensland in Australia. High temps and humidity that drive you insane. Autumn (that's fall to you Americans) starts here tomorrow and already it's starting to get a little cooler and less humid it would seem.
It feels like my hair is becoming more bearable than before. Would the drop in heat and humidity have a lot to do with that? It just seems like my scalp is not crawling with sweat and my hair less greasy. Or perhaps it's also to do with the products I've been using. In any case, I'm extremely happy with the feel and quality of my hair right now. Will post a pic or two in about three weeks, at the 5 month mark.

Interesting topic Luke B.
Although it has been fairly hot down here in Sydney , it is definately alot hotten up in QLD, Gold Coast, since you are nearer the equator.
I do believe that a sudden climatic change could be a factor in the overall improvement of your hair's condition.
In the heat, you tend to sweat alot and this might make your hair frizzy. The hot sun can also damage your hair through harmful UV exposure , basically 'frying' your hair.
There are probably lots more reasons but i can't think of any more right now.
Can't wait to see your update. Cheers.
hi,
hehe it's interesting to read cos here (.at) we have currently about -10 to -15 °C now ...
it is very cold and dry here (i hate winter time so much !!) and the only effect which i can see is that the hair growth rate seems to slow down (if i compare it with summer)...
i think the body generally reacts to weather cos in winter i am generally tired, get much easier angry about things (that includes that i swear more) and i am sometimes depressed ... in summer i have none of these symptoms ...
i think that's cos in winter there is alot less sun which the body (including the hair of course) needs ...
how cold does it get in australia if it get winter there ? (i am extremly looking forward to summer :)
greez,

Where I live, daytime maximum temps in winter tend to hover around 20°C, and drop to about 5°C at night, so it's pretty mild in my area, but there are some parts that are much colder. There are some places that are always hot though. Darwin in the Northern Territory has an average daytime temp of about 30°C almost every day of the year. Not sure how they put up with that.

In Taiwan the coldest it ever gets is around 10c, but its humid as hell and on top of that most houses have no heating, so it feels real COLD!
Plus I hate high humidity cause it feels like everything around here grows mold.
