Hello Tosha, I live in Tallahassee Fl. and a couple things that I have found for natural hair that receives presseing to fight against humidity is:
1) Your conditioner should not be heavily packed with humectants. Humectants draw moisture from the atmosphere which will cause the hair to revert quicker. Use a light conditioner such as Keracare Humecto for 5 to 10 minutes to detangle. Per pressing (once a week) alternate from light moisturizer (they are not very heavy and thick in consistency) to conditioner with protein and moisture (Affirm 5n1) to heal hair from excessive heat damage such as blow drying and flat ironing.
2) Bone dry blow dry
3) Styling products not heavy with creams or oils but light silicone gel (Silken Seal). Based on texture you might use a little cream press the size of a pea.
4) Inform client not to put any creams on her hair (most creams contain some form of moisture) but instead just wrap and if shine is needed through out the week (Silken Seal Liquid Sheen)
5) Oh yeah and it does have alot to do with training the hair as well
