The Best Frizzy Hair Products On The Planet

Including the 20-second treatment I can no longer live without

By
frizzy hair serum

For me, the elusive 'good hair day' translates as a bouncy head of natural curls, neatly defined and full of movement – but more often than not, a halo of frizz emerges to spoil the look by lunchtime, especially when there's an unexpected shower involved (and, if the forecast is accurate, there are many of those on the way).

Frizz affects us all in differing degrees, depending on our hair type and condition. If the UK's current unpredictable climes have had you wondering how to finally stop frizzy hair for good, you're in the right place. I've tried just about every hack, technique and product for frizzy hair under the sun, so have a pretty good grasp on the ones that really work.

First, find the right shampoo for frizz-prone lengths. Then, go all in on anti-static, anti-fluff styling products that'll seal each strand from moisture in the air (whether it's holiday humidity or a surprise downpour). Look for moisture shields lanolin and silicone on the back of the bottle – yes, silicones can be a lifesaver – as well as nourishing oils to seal dry lengths and split ends in-between salon appointments.

Here, see the best anti-frizz hair products I've tried, from deep treatments to smoothing creams, and even a game-changing mist that'll define and de-puff curls without disrupting them.

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.

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.
