Amika Smooth Over Frizz Fighting Treatment
Glycolic acid for hair? Yeo, it's now a thing. Amika's clever new launch uses the skincare star to strengthen and smooth the roughed-up cuticles on damaged hair strands, stopping moisture from sneaking its way in and causing your meticulously straightened lengths to puff up. Apply it in-shower, after conditioning, and wait just ten seconds for it to do its best work. The result is hair that dries sleeker, smoother and shinier – and stays that way, whatever the weather.

Matrix High Amplify, Shine & Rinse Lamellar Treatment
Lamellar waters are one of the most exciting hair innovations to emerge in recent years. Think of them as a watery conditioning treatment, working to repair damaged sections of hair while imparting smoothness and shine to rival a lengthy salon session.
Matrix's offering might not be the most well-known lamellar treatment out there, but the no-waste precision nozzle and sophisticated scent make it my top choice for smooth, seriously shiny hair.
Apply it to just-washed hair in the shower, letting it sit for just a few seconds before rinsing away, and follow up with conditioner if your hair is on the thicker (or more damaged) side. The transformation will have you converted after one use.

Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray
The social-media hype should tell you all you need to know about this one. A unique formula that really delivers, it contains a heat-activated polymer that essentially waterproofs each and every hair strand, preventing humidity and rain from spoiling your super-sleek style. Mist it in before using your hairdryer and heat tools for hair that feels weightless yet magically resists the urge to frizz.
Now, for those with an excessively rebellious mane, there's also an Extra Strength iteration. Seriously, if you're in any way sceptical about this one, take a look at the Tiktoks.

Briogeo Farewell Frizz Rosarco Milk Leave-in Conditioning Spray

Olaplex No.0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment
The entire Olaplex line is brilliant for frizz, but I think No.0 does the best job of smoothing fluff-prone hair. This liquid formula should be applied to clean, dry hair before stepping in the shower: shampoo and condition as usual, and you'll notice sleeker, less-tangled hair on drying.
The brand will tell you to layer this one up with the original No.3 treatment, honestly, the results are good enough without.

A hidden gem from the high-street aisles, this silicone-free and vegan-friendly frizz serum works wonders on puffball hair. It's infused with good old argan oil, and can be used on wet or dry lengths, as often as you need.

Hair by Sam McKnight Happy Endings Nourishing Balm
Formulated by legendary stylist Sam McKnight, this grooming cream is ideal for sealing a poker-straight ponytail or Hollywood wave. Best on dry, damaged hair, it temporarily seals up split ends and completely banished flyaways, meaning your style will look as good at the end of the night as it did at the start (no matter what you did in-between).
Oh, and we need to talk about the fragrance. Formulated by acclaimed nose Lyn Harris, it smells as good as a perfume, with bright and green notes of vetiver and water lily.

If air-drying your curly hair takes ages, yet reaching for the hairdryer only invites frizz, this unassuming hair hero may well offer the solution. Made from absorbent microfibre, Glov's smart turban soaks up excess moisture, allowing strands to dry swiftly. I wrap my hair up while I brush my teeth, and it's halfway dry by the time I'm done.
