I agree that ventilation is usually the best long-term fix, especially in older homes. I've owned a historic property for years, and moldy closets were a constant headache until I finally installed proper vents. Moisture absorbers helped temporarily, but they never fully solved the issue. If you're hesitant about cutting drywall, consider installing louvered doors instead—it's less invasive and still improves airflow significantly.
Regarding frizzy hair, microfiber towels are definitely helpful. My wife has curly hair and swears by them too. She also found that switching to sulfate-free shampoos made a noticeable difference in reducing frizz. But honestly, humidity is always going to be a challenge... sometimes it's easier just to accept a bit of frizz rather than constantly fighting it.
Louvered doors are alright, but honestly, if you're serious about mold, just bite the bullet and put in proper vents. Temporary solutions just prolong the headache. As for frizz, sulfate-free shampoos are decent, but humidity always wins eventually... embrace the chaos, lol.
Proper venting is definitely the way to go for mold control, especially if you're dealing with persistent humidity. I've renovated a few older homes, and louvered doors alone rarely cut it—airflow is key. As for frizz, humidity's tough... my partner swears by leave-in conditioners, but I'm skeptical. Curious though, has anyone tried using a small dehumidifier directly in their closet? Wonder if that might tackle both issues at once.
I've actually tried a small dehumidifier in my closet before. It did help noticeably with the mold issue, but honestly didn't do much for my hair frizz... humidity outside still got me every time. Maybe worth a shot though?
"It did help noticeably with the mold issue, but honestly didn't do much for my hair frizz..."
Yeah, humidity outside is a whole different beast. I remember renovating an older home a few years back—got the mold under control with some ventilation upgrades and a decent-sized dehumidifier. But stepping outside? Instant frizz city. Honestly, I think hair products are the only real solution there... closets are easier to fix than hairstyles, unfortunately. Still, tackling the mold makes a huge difference overall, so you're definitely on the right track.
