Frizzy hair, I do care, because if there’s anything that is stopping me from taking that ‘good hair day’ selfie it’s frizzy strands! The unwanted frizz is a result of hair absorbing the moisture in the air. Taming frizzy hair is not a joke at all; ask someone who has to spend a big chunk of their time every morning trying to style their hair. Blow drys can only get you so far, you’ve got to find the right arsenal of frizz fighters to tackle this concern. So, that’s why after a lot of researching, experimenting, I've narrowed down on the best frizz fighters in the business. Ahead, 10 products that have proved effective in dealing with frizz and flyaways. Read on to check out my secret to good hair days.
Best Stylists-Approved Pick:
Matrix Opti Care Professional Ultra Smoothing 2-Step Regime - Shampoo + Conditioner
Running to the salon every month to experiment with a new frizz fighting treatment may not be an option, but a professional hair care range is definitely one. This Matrix shampoo and conditioner combo is ideal for straightened and/or chemically treated hair. Approved by stylists, and proven to reduce frizz, it is made with shea butter minus the parabens, making it safe to maintain your hair’s health. This professional frizz-fighting range is a 10/10 in my books for sure!
Best Expert-Approved Pick:
L'Oreal Paris Hyaluron Moisture 72H Moisture Filling Shampoo
Hyaluronic acid for hair? Yes! This ingredient is naturally present in our skin and hair but with age it keeps depleting. Frizzy hair is the result of lack of moisture, and this shampoo enriched with hyaluronic acid helps to attract and hold moisture in the strands. This intensely hydrating ingredient works wonders in keeping your tresses looking hydrated, shiny, and full of life for at least 72 hours.
Best Natural:
Love Beauty & Planet Argan Oil And Lavender Shampoo
Another supremely hydrating ingredient is argan oil - count on this natural oil to give your tresses the moisture boost it needs, resulting in the smoothest hair ever! Paired with coconut oil, this shampoo gives you the smoothest, softest hair you’ve dreamt of. The french lavender fragrance is an added bonus for calming effect and added freshness. Oh, and did we mention, this is 100% vegan!
Best Ayurvedic Formulation:
Fable & Mane Mahamane Smooth & Shine Hair Oil
Whoever told you hair oils can only be used as a pre-wash treatment, probably never struggled with frizz and flyaways. This post-wash hair oil is crafted with a potent blend of ayurvedic ingredients like shikakai and ashwagandha, that are proven to boost hair health. I have short, thin hair and a maximum or 2-3 drops gets the job done for me; but if you have thick or long hair it is recommended to use at least 4-5 drops for the best results. Use this as a post-wash treatment, or even as a heat protectant before styling.
