Q:How can you keep curled hair from going limp in damp weather?

A: If you normally have straight hair and you've curled it that day, you can use either mousse or a volumizer -- any setting lotion that gives you texture. Beforehand, avoid using conditioner that day; just use shampoo. The drier the hair is, the easier it is to maintain, to have body, and to keep the hair from falling limp.
