GlossaryHumidity

amount of water vapor in the air

Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor present in the air. It can significantly affect hair and skin; high humidity can cause hair to become frizzy and skin to feel sticky, while low humidity can lead to dryness. For professionals, understanding humidity is crucial in fields like meteorology, HVAC, and even dermatology, as it influences environmental conditions and human comfort.
