Kerastase Nutritive Elasto-Curl Hydra-Toning Care for Dry, Curly Hair

A conditioner with an elastic effect on curls.

It smoothes and detangles too, but the real story with this product is its effect on curls

Bouncy, light weight, glossy, frizz-free, well defined curls!

LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER

Some leave-ins are better than others for frizzy hair. These ones are proven winners for smoothing rough texture and making hair shine.

Modern Organic Products Leave-in Conditioner

A light-weight leave in that detangles and helps combat frizz. This is a great product for dry, over-stressed hair.

It softens the hair and contains a bunch of natural anti-oxidant ingredients to protect tresses from the harsh realities of life (i.e., sun, wind, pollution).

For a bit more curl definition, use this first and then a styling product (see below).

Terax Hydrate Botanica Leave-in Moisturizer

This product really does hydrate and moisturize, as the name promises.

It smoothes down frizzies and softens curls. It's an extremely light-weight, liquid product.

This is a great product to use if your hair tends to tangle and become difficult to comb after showering. The only down side is that it has a scent that some find offensive.

STYLING PRODUCTS

One or two of these styling products is all that's necessary, depending on your preferences.

Pureology Antifade Shine Max

This product acts as a shine enhancer and a sort of sealer. It protects your haircolor and improves the look of dry, frizzy hair.

Unlike some shine enhancing products, this one is not oily and is lightweight so it won't flatten fine to medium textured hair.

Aveda Brilliant Anti-Humectant Pomade

If you live in an overly humid climate, an anti-humectant pomade may be just the thing to help smooth your frizzies. It repels moisture from the hair and helps to calm "lively" hair.

Beware though... this product can be weighty (and feel greasy) on fine to medium textured hair. It's best for thick, coarse hair.

You don't need much, and it should be well emulsified (rubbed in) in your hands before applying. Smooth the product over the surface of your hair, focusing on the most frizzy areas.

CHI Straight Guard
Smoothing Styling Cream

This is a great-smelling cream styler that helps calm frizz and add shine. It's a good option for those who sometimes heat style (i.e., flat irons, hot rollers, etc.) and sometimes don't.

This product works well for both thermal styling and simply letting your hair dry naturally. Apply to towel dried hair before styling. It's light enough that it doesn't weigh hair down or feel obvious in the hair. Hair is easier to comb through and more manageable from wet to dry.

MORE PRODUCT OPTIONS

If your hair is fine use a thickening or volumizing product at the roots and underneath, and a light silicone or smoothing frizzy hair product (like those mentioned above) on the surface and through to the ends. Keep in mind that silicone-based products and pomades don't have any holding ability.

If you want hold and shine (who doesn't) mix a nice little puddle of gel and liquid silicone together in your palm and apply everywhere, this way you can change the ratio depending on your needs. For an all-in-one solution, Sebastian Potion 9, wearable treatment is a great and versatile frizzy hair product. It's a nice slippery conditioning product with just enough hold factor and can be used before, during, or after styling.

Tools for Smoothing Frizzy Hair

• Boar Bristle Brush
• Thermal Styling Brush
• Hair Dryer with Direction Nozzle
• Hot Air Brush
• Large Clips

A natural or boar bristle brush will work the best on frizzy hair. They have a very smoothing effect, but they can be a real pain in the arm to get through your hair. Do yourself a favor, get a hot air brush to smooth out the majority of your hair. Then use the boar bristle brush just on the most visible sections (top/around face/ends).

A hot air brush will give you the same effect as using a round brush and blow dryer with much less struggle.

Make sure that your hair is at least 80 to 90 percent dry before you start shaping it with the hot air brush.

If your hair is too wet you'll miss out on all the benefits of this fabulous tool, which is made for shaping rather than drying your hair.
