Totally agree about the airflow thing—moisture bags alone won't cut it long-term. I've dealt with moldy closets in a few rental properties, and one trick that's worked wonders is installing small battery-operated fans (the kind you'd use for camping or desk setups). Just pop one in the corner, set it on low, and let it run occasionally. Keeps air moving without needing permanent modifications. As for frizzy hair...coconut oil's great, but argan oil has been my go-to lately. Less greasy and absorbs quicker—might be worth checking out too.
"Just pop one in the corner, set it on low, and let it run occasionally. Keeps air moving without needing permanent modifications."
That's a neat trick, actually. I tried something similar in my old historic home—those closets just weren't built for airflow, ya know? The little battery fans helped, but eventually I added a few cedar blocks too; seemed to help keep things fresher. On the hair front, argan oil's solid...but have you ever tried jojoba oil? I found it even lighter and less greasy than argan. Curious if anyone else has compared the two.
That's a clever workaround, especially for older homes where permanent changes can be tricky. Hadn't thought about cedar blocks for freshness—might have to give that a shot myself. As for oils, argan has been my go-to, but jojoba sounds interesting...does it absorb quicker, do you think? My hair tends to get weighed down easily, so lighter is always better.
Jojoba definitely feels lighter to me—my hair drinks it up pretty fast without leaving that greasy residue argan sometimes does. But everyone's hair is different, so maybe start small and see how yours reacts? And cedar blocks are great, but if you're feeling adventurous, try making sachets with dried lavender or rosemary. Did that in my old place—closets smelled amazing, and bonus: no moths!
Totally agree on jojoba being lighter—argan always made me look like I just ran through a rainstorm, lol. Lavender sachets sound awesome, but here's my dilemma: my closets seem to get damp no matter what. I've tried those moisture absorbers from the dollar store (budget-friendly tip right there), and they've helped a bit but not completely. Has anyone tackled persistent closet dampness without breaking the bank or resorting to a full-on renovation? I'm all ears...and frizzy hair.
