    Up to a point, yes. Washing your hair every day can cause your scalp to produce too much oil, so I recommend washing your hair only every 2-3 days.

    I moved to a humid place and now I have wavy hair. It is pretty straight when it's wet, but as it dries, it becomes wavy. Is there any way to help prevent this aside from chemical relaxers?

    Rollers are particularly effective for straightening waves. You should also try using a straightening cream to style your hair, it will help repel the humidity.

    I would just use coconut oil during the night and wash it off in the morning. Coconut oil is known to make things grow faster. I consider it more of a miracle.
