Default Winter to Summer Transition

Alrighty...
So here's my routine:
Suave Naturals as cowash
LVPNG as rinse out and leave in
Loreal spiral extreme curl cream
HETT gel
Beyond the Zone curl activator spray

I was getting somewhere with this routine.. it was awesome! But now it's getting frizzy, not as defined, and I feel the need to wash my hair everyday. Any suggestions? Could it be the protein in the LVPNG? Do I need a humectant? HELP!!

Check for glycerin in your products and if they don't have any try adding some. This is especially important if the humidity and dew point is going up where you are.

Also I know a lot of people use either curl keeper or ky to help with frizz.

i've never been CG in the summer time but i did read in a thread that during the summer time, a lot of curlies ditch the heavy stuff... i dont think i could ditch KCCC but i am working on another routine... Maybe Jessie Curls stuff? Seemed pretty light weight...

My hair doesn't like Suave coconut, HETT gel, and Beyond the Zone CA Spray any time - Suave makes me frizzy, weighed-down and limp, and the HETT and BZCAS both give me sticky/tacky stringlets with no definition. All of this would be worse in humidity.
