For something so notorious for its unpredictable and gravity-defying nature, frizzy hair sure has a way of bringing your hair look down. Whether you experience frizz due to humidity, rain, or just the natural state of your hair (our hearts are with you!), a crown of flyaways framing your head is hardly ever a welcome sight. But not all hope is lost. Because we like to think of ourselves as your beauty bestie through all your glow-ups, makeup mishaps, and beyond, we’ve put together our list of the best anti-frizz hair products to help you battle breakage, smooth your strands, and give you the style you’ve long been seeking. Keep reading for the scoop!
If you haven’t seen videos all over your feed of this magical formula in action, we suggest you pull out your phone right now. This is one of those things you have to see to believe. Like a mini keratin treatment in a bottle, this spray coats your strands in humidity-blocking technology that makes water seem to roll right off. Celeb hairstylist Chris Appleton loves using this product to create hairstyles for the red carpet, but even if you’re just running to the grocery store, this spray will help lock in moisture and keep humidity out—even through up to three to four shampoos. Apply it to damp hair, then run a blow-dryer through your hair to activate.
Looking for a heat protectant that doubles as a frizz fighter? You’re looking at it. This sulfate-free styling cream is one of our favorites because it’s great for all hair types, from thin hair to thick hair to curly hair and beyond. While it protects your hair from heat up to 450°F, it also conditions your strands and controls frizz with a blend of rosehip oil, argan oil, and coconut oil—because after putting all that effort into wash day, you deserve a hair treatment that helps maintain the strength of your strands.
The best way to combat frizz? From the inside out. That’s where this holy-grail hair-care product comes in. It contains a patented peptide made of amino acids that works at a molecular level to restore and repair hair in just four minutes. Because it’s so easy to use (you don’t even need to rinse it out!), we knew this had to make our list of the best products for frizz-free hair.
We love this daily shampoo for banishing product buildup and tamping down pesky flyaways. It’s enriched with argan oil, keratin, and acai to nourish your strands, and it’s the perfect addition to your frizz-fighting hair-care lineup. Lather this shampoo into your wet hair, rinse, then follow with your favorite anti-frizz conditioner to round out your shower routine.
If you deal with hair dryness (don’t we all?), your hair-care routine is incomplete without this nourishing leave-in conditioner. Infused with squalane and hyaluronic acid, this formula boosts moisture for up to 72 hours, detangles, and minimizes your frizz factor. Our favorite way to use it? Right after we shampoo and towel-dry our hair, but right before doing our skincare—that way we can nourish our strands while we get our skin in check.
This weightless, invisible oil serum is a dream for those with curly hair. Formulated with hydrating squalane and cold-pressed olive oil, this anti-frizz serum penetrates the hair cuticle for shinier, smoother hair. It also makes detangling a breeze, thanks to plant-derived silicone and extracts that provide your strands with instant slip.
Want to reduce the dry time on your straight, coily, or wavy hair? Meet your new best friend. This paraben and sulfate-free fave helps you tame frizz with a replenishing blend of omega fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals that help restore hydration and strength to your hair. Plus, when you use this styling product, you can skip the heat styling and blow-drying. All you need to do is work the product into your towel-dried hair, then allow it to air-dry.
If you’ve been wary of using hair oils on your hair—don’t be. With the right formula and application, hair oil can help seal split ends to offer frizz control and a slew of nourishing and hydrating benefits. In typical OUAI fashion, this nutrient-packed oil smells delicious, and it can be used on damp or dry hair (concentrated on the ends) for a sleek, high-gloss finish.
Goodbye frizz, flyaways, and hair-ruining humidity! This paraben-, sulfate-, and keratin-free finishing spray is a far cry from the texture of crunchy hair sprays past. It creates an invisible shield over fine hair that helps control pesky hairs and helps maintain your hair’s shine. Use it on dry hair, shaking the can well before holding it six to eight inches away and misting it evenly throughout your hair. Pro tip: Use it after you’ve gone over your strands with a hair dryer to make your blowout last longer.
Even the most carefully styled hair look can start to frizz by the time noon rolls around. That’s where this multitasking formula truly shines, as you can apply it to your damp hair or dry hair for a midday smoothing sesh. Featuring shea butter, which is rich in vitamins and omegas 3 and 6, this nurturing formula seems to make our hair feel healthier and softer whenever we apply it—while also sealing the hair cuticle for a frizz-free style that lasts for up to 48 hours.
This hair-care hero—that every hairstylist seems to swear by—is an oil, a protective hair primer, and a leave-in conditioner in one. We’ve found that it blends so seamlessly and weightlessly into the hair, we tend to forget that it’s there (which is what we all want when it comes to hair products, right?). This baby is BUMBLE AND BUMBLE’s #1 bestseller, which is no surprise given its impressive ability to hydrate, reduce frizz, soften, and add shine while protecting hair from heat tools.
Yup, it’s true: Silk and satin pillow cases can help reduce frizz. It’s all in the smooth texture of the fabric, which helps reduce friction while you sleep (something natural cotton fibers don’t do). So if you’ve already stocked your skincare shelf with frizz-fighting formulas, don’t forget to also pick up a silky pillowcase for smooth sailing—even through the night.
