"Might wanna peek behind your drywall before you chase your tail with ductwork adjustments."
Good call on insulation—did you also check your vapor barriers? I've seen mold issues persist even after insulation upgrades because moisture control wasn't fully addressed...worth double-checking that too.
Checking vapor barriers is definitely smart, but have you considered airflow too? Sometimes closets, especially if they're packed tight or closed most of the time, just don't get enough ventilation. I had a similar issue in my old place—mold kept popping up until I installed a small vent grille in the closet door. Made a huge difference. Maybe something simple like that could help your situation too?
Good point about airflow, closets can get stuffy fast. I've noticed even just leaving the door cracked open slightly helps a ton. Also, if your closet backs onto an exterior wall, you might wanna check insulation there too—cold spots can cause condensation and mold. Had that happen once in a place I flipped; adding insulation cleared it right up. Worth a quick look maybe?
Had a similar issue in my first place, and honestly, insulation was a game changer. I initially thought just airing things out would be enough, but nope—still had mold creeping in. Finally caved and added insulation behind the closet wall, and not only did it fix the mold, but weirdly enough, my clothes felt fresher too. Definitely worth checking out before you end up tossing half your wardrobe like I did...
Insulation definitely helps, but if you're still struggling with humidity and frizzy hair (been there...), you might wanna look into a few other things too. First off, grab yourself a cheap hygrometer—seriously, they're like ten bucks online—and see what your humidity levels actually are. If it's consistently above 60%, mold's gonna keep coming back no matter how much insulation you add.
Next step: consider a small dehumidifier. Doesn't have to be fancy or expensive, just something compact enough to tuck away in the corner of your closet or bedroom. I got one for my place after insulation helped but didn't fully solve the issue, and it made a noticeable difference within days.
Also, quick tip: avoid storing damp clothes or shoes in enclosed spaces. Sounds obvious, but you'd be surprised how often we toss slightly damp jackets or gym gear into closets without thinking twice.
As for frizzy hair... well, that's another beast entirely. But honestly, once you get the humidity under control indoors, you'll probably notice your hair calming down too. Good luck!
