1. A Ouai hair oil that not only smooths and glosses, but smells SO DANG GOOD. I use a few drops of this on my part to tame flyaways, and they disappear instantly! It even protects from heat up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, so you can use it before heat styling, too!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This oil is amazing! It helps control frizz, adds a beautiful shine, and makes my hair feel so smooth. I love that it also works as a heat protectant and is free of parabens, phthalates, and sulfates. Plus, it doesn’t feel heavy or greasy. My hair looks healthier and more polished every time I use it. Definitely a must-have.❤️" —Elizabeth

Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack).

2. And a Color Wow anti-frizz spray to coat strands without weighing them down or making them feel greasy — oh, and it adds suuuuper shine in LITERAL SECONDS. A hairstylist used this on me during a recent blowout, and I grabbed it from her to snap a photo and buy it immediately when I got home...because my hair was next-level SHINYYYYYY. Yeah, this is legit WOW-worthy!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Y'all, I don't even know the last time I left a review on Amazon! Buuuut, I had to with this product! I live in Houston, the land of ETERNAL HUMIDITY! This stuff really worked! I usually use two products to tame my mane (R+Co and Oribe), and I solely used this product instead. I literally just brushed my hair after. No flat iron, NOTHING! What a time saver!!! I've had the expensive Brazilian treatments in the past, and this is well worth the money, even if I have to get them every two weeks. I'm on week two now, and it's still good! Save yourself the money, time, and heartache of dealing with frizzy hair and BUY THIS!! My aunt also deals with frizzy hair, and she already bought this and loved it!" —Linda Hernandez

"I’ve tried many anti-frizz products, but COLOR WOW Dream Coat truly makes a difference in humid weather. After blow-drying with it, my hair looks smoother, shinier, and stays sleek much longer. It feels lightweight (not greasy), and doesn’t weigh my hair down. The key is applying generously and using heat to activate it. If you live in a humid climate, this is worth trying." —CatalinaGarciaG

Get it from Amazon for $14+ (available in two sizes).

3. A Matrix smoothing shampoo if your journey to frizz freedom has been fraught with peril so far. Well, that's about to change, thanks to a mix of jojoba oil (which seals the cuticle) and shea butter (to nourish and hydrate parched strands). Oooh la la!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I absolutely love this shampoo!!! 😍 From the first use, my hair felt much softer, smoother, and easier to manage. I have frizzy hair, and this really helps control it, especially in humid weather. It lathers really well, smells amazing, and cleans my hair without making it feel dry or heavy. Instead, it leaves it hydrated, shiny, and full of life. I’ve also noticed my hair looks healthier and less frizzy since I started using it. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts a long time. I definitely recommend this if you have dry, damaged, or frizzy hair." —Claudia

Get it from Amazon for $22+ (available in three sizes).

4. A Madison Reed frizz-controlling conditioner designed for color-treated tresses. Keratin helps strengthen strands and prevent breakage; argan oil adds shine; and ginseng root extract softens and helps eliminate split ends. Excuse me, but did I just meet my soulmate?!

Ulta

Promising review: "This worked great on my coarse hair. I really enjoyed conditioning my hair with this." —Anne

Get it from Ulta for $24.

5. A Drybar spray that'll literally work around the clock to keep frizz at bay, since (per the brand) it controls frizz for up to 72 hours — that's a grand total of THREE DAYS!! ⏰ It works to create a water-resistant barrier around every single strand, so things will stay sleek, smooth, and polished all day long.

Amazon

Promising review: "Drybar’s Final Call Frizz and Static Control Mist is a game changer for my hair! It really tames flyaways and keeps frizz under control, even in humid weather. I love that it doesn’t leave my hair feeling sticky or weighed down — just smooth and manageable. A few sprays go a long way, and it helps my style last longer throughout the day. It’s become a must-have in my hair routine for keeping everything sleek and polished." —Favorites on Amazon

Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in three sizes and two scents).

6. A flaxseed gel curly QTs will ❤️ for its ability to define curls and coils while keeping ’em free from frizz! For best results, the brand recommends applying it to soaking wet hair after washing and conditioning, and be sure to refrigerate it after opening.

RosaleeAndCo/Etsy

Promising review: "The only thing I need on my curly hair to keep it hydrated, shiny, and tamed." —Amanda

"Great flax gel! Totally smooth, with no flax bits. I love that it comes in glass and that I can buy a refill. I put it in my hair right after the shower, and it feels smooth and beautiful, not crunchy. I would buy again!" —Kelsey

Get it from RosaleeAndCoon Etsy for $14+ (available in two sizes and with or without pump lids).

7. A ShampooHotel leave-in conditioning spray you'll love as much for its ability to leave locks feeling soft and tangle-free as for the fact that the tropical scent will make you feel like you just stepped off the plane in Miami! (Yeah, the name is pretty apropos!) Seems like you'd better wash, go, and get on that plane!

Ulta

Promising reviews: "A staple for soft smell and good hair, it literally smells like a vacation. Piña colada on a beach." —Korrina

"Leave-in conditioner leaves hair soft, smelling great, and takes away the frizz." —Stefanie

Get it from Ulta for $15.

8. A Kitsch satin pillowcase specifically designed for hair and skin — it helps tame frizz, reduce tangles, reduce breakage, AND prevent facial creases, all while you get your much-needed zzzzs. I have a few of these, and not only have I noticed a significant difference in frizz and split ends, but I love that they zip around my pillows and stay in place even when I move throughout the night. Talk about beauty sleep!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This has become my new favorite pillowcase! I’ve received and gifted this many times! It’s smooth, cool, doesn’t make my hair frizzy, and is comfortable! I love the blush color of this pillowcase I received as a Christmas gift! The fabric feels nice and soft. It’s one of the best gifts and great value!" —Yvette Jarrell

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in 18 colors/patterns).

9. A Garnier Fructis leave-in conditioning cream has been a part of my hair routine for OVER 20 YEARS. Yes, you read that right! It smells AMAZING, but even more importantly, it never weighs my strands down and keeps them looking suuuuper smooth and shiny. I'm quite literally obsessed!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Honestly, I didn’t expect much, but this leave-in surprised me. My curls look super defined, soft, and naturally shiny, without feeling heavy or greasy. I’ve tried a lot of products, and this is one of the few that actually controls frizz and keeps my hair looking healthy all day. If you have curly hair, this one is definitely worth trying. 💚" —Adrian Urroz 

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (also available in two- and four-packs).

10. A Chris McMillan blow-dry spray to protect hair from heat styling and glossify locks while — you guessed it — taming annoying frizz. McMillan is the longtime hairstylist for Rachel herself — the one and only Jennifer Aniston — who arguably has some of the most gorgeous hair on the planet. So let's just say he knows a thing or two about making hair look fabulous!

Sephora

Promising review: "I've been looking for a product that could tame my frizzy strands. This product actually does what it says it will. It will NOT weigh down your hair, spray away!" —ckusher

Get it from Sephora for $16.

11. A bottle of multitasking Prose hair oil that can not only be used as a styler, treatment, or finishing oil — all of which take only seconds to slick through your mane — but it's customized specifically for your hair and even has your name on the bottle! 

Prose

Promising review: "I've always had extremely frizzy hair after a shower that didn't improve with anything, but this oil helps so much. My curls were barely visible after my hair dried because of the frizz, but now it looks amazing!" —Talia C.

Get it from Prose for $49.

12. A Moroccanoil styling spray to help shield against frizz — like, it's literally in the name! It's kind of a bonus that it works to make static disappear, too, so no more dryer sheets necessary!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I really love this Frizz Shield Spray. It leaves my hair smooth, shiny, and completely frizz-free without feeling heavy or greasy. The scent is amazing, and a little goes a long way. Perfect for humid days or anytime I want my hair to look polished. Definitely recommend!" —Keylyn Menjivar

Get it from Amazon for $15+ (available in two sizes).

13. A pack of microfiber hair wrap towels so you cannot only cut your air-drying time in half (like, that alone would make these worth it for me), but you can also prep your tresses for blowouts. Aaaand, you can prevent unnecessary frizz from normal towels. Microfiber towels to the rescue!

Target

Promising reviews: "I have very long, thick hair, and this towel is able to accommodate all my hair! I’ve noticed a change in dry time and frizz since using this towel." —fcookie

Get it from Target for $10 (for a two-pack).

14. A splurge-worthy Mason Pearson boar bristle brush that Marcia would have loved to do her hundred brushstrokes with, since it not only feels ultra luxurious, but leaves strands looking super glossy, too. It's packed with six rings of pure boar bristles! I know this brush is expensive, but hear me out. Once you go Mason Pearson, you never go back. It's kind of like flying first class. Not to wax poetic or anything, but speaking from experience here, it might just change your life.

Bluemercury

Promising reviews: "I love this brush, it makes my hair less frizzy and feels so good on my scalp. It’s excellent for my fine frizzy hair." —Shellyann

"My brother has one of these as a hairdresser. I like to just sit and brush my hair with it just because it feels SO NICE! So great on my thick, long, curly hair! It's gentle but strong at the same time. Wish I had my own." —Myiqis172

Get it from Bluemercury for $400.

15. A Luseta hair serum formulated with nourishing keratin oil, so dull, dry tresses become a distant memory in mere seconds. You can use it on dry hair to enhance shine, softness, and smoothness while simultaneously reducing frizz. Yes, yes, YES.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "I recently started using Luseta Keratin Hair Oil Serum, and it has completely transformed my hair. My color-treated, damaged hair now feels incredibly smooth, looks healthier, and has a beautiful shine. The lightweight formula doesn’t weigh my hair down or make it greasy. Overall, it's been a game changer for my hair care routine." —Mahya

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in 15 other formulas).

16. A hair lotion from Beyoncé's Cécred line to seal your locks with moisture and fight daily frizz. It's racked up hundreds of 5-star reviews from shoppers who say it tames hair instantly. Talk about loving something like XO!

Ulta

Promising review: "I was skeptical about Cécred, but this product is out of this world! It is very hydrating and defines instantly. It tamed my 4b hair and kept it hydrated for daaayysss." —kelz

Get it from Ulta for $19+ (available in two sizes).

17. A Living Proof de-frizzer triple bond complex which helps give your hair outta-this-world strength while simultaneously building hydrogen, ionic, and covalent hair bonds (who knew you'd get a science lesson today?!). Frizz, split ends, and damage, BE GONE!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "It's expensive, but this product works and does a great job of smoothing out the back of my hair. The small size is great for travel, too! I'm a big fan of Living Proof hair products!" —Laura

Get it from Amazon for $45.

18. An Eleven Australia leave-in conditioning spray to help detangle, obvs, but also to repair and strengthen strands, nourish thirsty locks, and kick frizz to the curb. I'm pretty sure I just fell in love at first sight!

Amazon

Promising reviews: "Works great and smells great, too! It’s light and doesn’t leave my hair feeling greasy or weighed down at all — only soft, smooth, and frizz-free. I have long, average-weighted, straight hair. I absolutely love this leave-in treatment." —Lonna Brown

"It might be a bit spendy for some, but it makes your hair incredibly soft and fewer frizzies! Buy it, it won’t disappoint. For clarity, I have very long, curly hair that tends to frizz. I just add it to my towel-dry (still wet) hair and don’t need anything else to control the frizz or curls for the day. Smells amazing too!" —nicoleashley

Get it from Amazon for $27 (also available with a pump).

19. A bottle of Messy by Alli Webb refresh sprayformulated specifically to bring life back to dry and frizzy tresses, thanks to vegan silk (which smooths and protects against pollution damage) and upcycled osmolyte technology (which hydrates and enhances hair texture without crunchiness). Yes, please!

Sephora

Promising review: "Smells phenomenal and gives my thin/fine hair a silky and shiny look. I really like it!" —Lnschwartz

Get it from Sephora for $18+ (available in two sizes).

20. A John Frieda Frizz Ease avocado oil-infused hair cream to banish every last ounce of frizz for good, dang it! 🥑 Slick it onto locks to help tame frizz and flyaways and create a smooth, sleek style. Perfect for high ponytails and buns in scorching temps!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I'm obsessed with this product! I use it every day on my hair, after it is dry, to smooth any frizz and tame my curls. Highly recommend!" —Megan

Get it from Amazon for $8.99.

21. A Kérastase anti-frizz glaze milk, because doesn't that just sound utterly divine?! This all-in-one smoothing spray helps detangle, hydrate, protect against heat and humidity, and tame frizz for up to four days!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I really like this product! It detangles my hair instantly and makes it feel super soft and hydrated without weighing it down. I’ve noticed a big difference in how smooth my hair looks, especially when I blow-dry. It also helps reduce frizz and keeps my hair protected from humidity and heat. The scent is light and pleasant, not overpowering. Definitely worth the price for the results you get. Highly recommend!" —Dayami Vergara Garcia

Get it from Amazon for $27+ (available in two sizes).

22. A Bumble and bumble hair primer that not only helps condition, nourish, and smooth hair, but also contains UV filters to protect it from drying out in the sun. Forget the Sun-In of the ’80s, this is what you should be spraying in your locks at the beach!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I'm going to start this review with an 'I never review products,' but honestly, I was beginning to think that there wasn't a hair product that could keep my hair from frizzing and curling up in the southern humid climate. I have been trying product after product for the last 20 years until I came across this game changer. My hair is very thick, curly, and frizzy, and it works for my hair. Typically, in the summer months, I blow-dry my hair smooth and slightly wavy, and I go outdoors, and this awful transformation takes place: curly, frizz-ball hair. With this product, it stays smoother and doesn't kink up, just a slight puff, and when I run my hands through my hair, the puff subsides. Don't know if it's the almond oil, or combo of the oils, it just works." —anonymous

Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in four sizes and in a three-piece travel set).

23. An uber-popular Briogeo hair mask to liven up dull, lifeless strands, simultaneously nourishing and reducing frizz. This handy-dandy lil' tub basically never leaves my shower, because it's just that good!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The mask itself is very rich and nourishing, so I avoid my oily-prone roots and keep it focused on my lengths and ends. It does an amazing job of smoothing and softening my dry, color-treated hair lengths. My hair is fine, but this doesn't weigh it down at all when I keep it off the scalp. It leaves my hair feeling noticeably stronger, silkier, and more hydrated, with my split ends looking sealed and less frizzy." —Catsandcolognes

Get it from Amazon for $27.30+ (available in two scents).

24. A SheaMoisture mousse that'll help make curls pop without a stitch of frizz in sight! It's got shea butter, coconut, hibiscus, silk protein, and neem oil, so that frizz is not getting anywhere close after you scrunch!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I cannot believe it took me this long to start using actual hair products! I’ve gone most of my life just washing and brushing my hair and wondering why it always looked like I had been caught in a windstorm. No wonder it never behaved! But seriously, this product is a total game changer. I’ve always struggled with braids; they’d come out uneven, puffy, and fall apart halfway through the day. With this, I was able to do two neat little braids on both sides, and they actually stayed put all the way down to about an inch and a half from the ends. Before, I needed to stop around three inches because everything would just unravel. My frizz completely disappeared, and my hair looked smooth and polished, not wild and frizzy. I feel like I finally unlocked the secret to grown-up hair care, and now I can’t go back! This mousse smells amazing too, I love coconut everything!" —Customer Review

"I am constantly on the lookout for products to use in my naturally curly hair, and this one has been an amazing find for me. I am not a fan of anything that leaves my hair feeling heavy, sticky, crunchy, or greasy, no matter how well it holds the curl. This product has a delicate foaminess and dries, leaving my hair feeling soft. It's mineral oil free, paraben free, phthalate free, silicone free, and sulfate free. It also smells great, and most importantly, it reduces frizz and enhances curl. It's a winner all around!" —SDS68

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

25. Or a curl-enhancing mousse from Tracee Ellis Ross's Pattern Beauty line, which helps boost volume and shine of finger waves, finger coils, and protective styles in a single step. Frizz, frizz, go away, come back never!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "My wash and go has never been so fast and perfect. The mouse works wonderful on its on or other products. My wash and go last 7+ days with no refresh needed as opposed to 3–4 days with other products. Am in love with this product. They got this one RIGHT." —Beth

"The lightweight, noncrunchy hold of this product is perfect! I don’t know what my curl texture is, and my hair is susceptible to humidity. This product cuts down on frizz and keeps my curls looking great all day." —Lynn

Get it from Amazon for $14+ (available in two sizes).

26. A Denman brush that not only helps form curls that are styled and defined, but also detangles and reduces frizz. Can you say win-win-win-win?!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out an instructional TikTok here!

Promising reviews: "TikTok made me do it. I never knew I had 3a curls until I used this brush. It evenly spreads product throughout the hair and clumps up your curls. It’s just an amazing brush!" —mariela

"I never would have believed I would go against everything I thought I knew about curls. As someone who has had a love-hate relationship with my hair, it took years to perfect my method of wide-tooth combing in the shower, and I never would have thought to put a brush through my wet hair. After my curl expert hair stylist rocked my world by using this brush, I’ve converted! And my curls have never been more uniform, less frizzy, hold better the next day, etc. Go for it, curly one!" —Patricia

Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in seven colors/patterns).

27. A bottle of Verb Ghost Oil you can smooth onto damp hair to protect against heat damage from styling tools, or onto dry hair for a lottttta smoothness and shiiiiine, baby! While it works for all hair types, it's especially great for people prone to frizz, so let's goooo!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I’ve been using Verb Ghost Oil for a while now, and it’s easily become a staple in my hair routine. I have fine to medium hair and also wear extensions, so finding something that adds shine and smooths frizz without weighing my hair down is really important. This oil does exactly that." —shjen

"This stuff is amazing. My hair was very dry, and the ends appeared split. I bought this stuff from a TikTok recommendation and will never go back. Super light and moisturizing." —Leah

Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in three sizes and a two-pack).

28. A Redken serum with the word "deflate" in the name, which I'd usually consider a bad thing, but in this case? I'm actually extremely intrigued, tbh. Anything that promises to deflate my super frizzy hair in humid temps has my interest PIQUED. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The Redken Frizz Dismiss Serum is a lifesaver for taming frizz and adding shine! It makes my hair feel incredibly soft and smooth without weighing it down. Just a small amount goes a long way in keeping humidity at bay, making it perfect for all hair types. It absorbs quickly, leaving no greasy residue, and gives my hair a healthy, salon-like finish. The scent is light and pleasant, not overpowering. I’ve noticed a huge difference in my hair’s manageability since using it. Highly recommend for anyone struggling with frizz and flyaways!" —Varun

Get it from Amazon for $36.

29. A K18 hair mask you've likely seen on your FYP because of its miracle-like ability to repair damage and reduce frizz. It's formulated for all hair types and clinically tested to improve damage, split ends, and breakage, even for color-treated hair!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I have coarse, curly hair that frizzes easily in humid weather. I straighten my hair with a flat iron, and this product makes my hair so soft and shiny, and keeps the frizz tamed down better than any product I've tried. I hope it never gets discontinued, because it is now my all-time go-to." —W. VanBramer

Get it from Amazon for $75.

30. A BestLand hair-finishing stick for anyone dealing with pesky flyaways and frizzy baby hairs and feeling like they're about to scream (raises hand immediately). Just brush this stick along the offenders and watch ’em bow to its prowess!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’m in love with this product! I have super curly hair that loves to frizz, and now I can let it air dry, put it in a bun with no more flyaways, thank God! It really isn’t crunchy at all, and surprisingly, it’s not greasy at all, which is perfect for me with the curly hair! You won’t be sad you bought this!" —Karissa Chavez

Get it from Amazon for $6.88+ (also available in packs of two and a comb style).
