Make sure your hair is wet when you use this, and apply liberally from roots to ends. Use once a week or twice a week if you have severely damaged hair.
Promising reviews: "I honestly wish this didn't work so well because it's so pricey; I end up using at least half the bottle to adequately saturate my long, coarse, curly hair. But it works SO WELL at reducing frizz and hair breakage and making my curls look shiny and healthy. I stopped using it for a few months to see if my hair was healthy enough that I could get by without it; apparently not! It's so hard to manage my curls without this product; I'm back to using it at least once a week. It's very moisturizing for my dry hair, too. I use it as directed, and it works great." —Naomi

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

Promising reviews: "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
"10/10 would recommend; my hair is less frizzy. Colors are the same as online, and they’re not overly thick, but not too thin. No odor, no color transfer in wash. I bought two sets so far; my husband won’t go back either. They stay cool, and the hair and skin protection is a bonus. Buy them ;)." —CJ

Here's what former BuzzFeeder Ciera Velarde has to say:
"I have naturally wavy, almost curly hair (I would say I'm somewhere between a 2c and a 3a curl type), and I have tried practically every product on the market designed to keep my curls looking their best. Nothing has even come close to this styling cream. I use this whenever I'm air-drying my hair — without it, I end up looking like a frizzy mess and have very undefined curls. I use this while my hair is wet (but not soaking) and work it through my hair and scrunch a lot at the end. Gone are the days of really crunchy, stiff curls — this cream is so lightweight, it doesn't even feel like you have product in it. I can run my hands through my hair with ease whenever I use this. That's me above on a particularly good hair day after using this Ouidad styling cream — look at those bouncy, frizz-free ringlets!!! To emphasize again, I love this stuff so much that if I were stranded on an island and could only have one beauty product, this would be it."
Promising reviews: "This is my frizzy curly hair miracle cream; I haven’t had a bad hair day using this. I squeeze about three short strips on my palm to use for my probably shoulder-length 2c hair." —Ubabblealot
Get it from Amazon for $8+ (available in three sizes).
Promising review: "This works SO well. Used it as a conditioner. Left it on while I showered for 10 mins after shampooing. Reading the reviews and having hair that's up to my jawline, I used about a teaspoon's worth. That was plenty enough. My hair came out all soft, shiny, and manageable. AND the most amazing thing is this — once I blew it dry with my diffuser, it came out with ZERO frizz and fell so lovely and straight. NOT have a single flyaway! It's a good thing, too, because I got a short-notice invite to a gala, so I had to style it. I have glorious, shiny, wavy, wonderful-to-run-your-fingers-into hair. LOVE! —GodWithin
"This is my replacement for the Macadamia Intense Repair Masque. The Macadamia mask is SUPER expensive and is not worth the money. This, however, basically does the same thing to my hair and is much cheaper. I really recommend this to people with dyed, dry, dead, frizzy, or chlorinated hair. Just really damaged or damaged hair. It's really good." —Wanisha Siripakdi

Promising review: "I have 2c/3a hair, medium to long length, and live in the South, where there is fairly high humidity most of the year. It's taken me a few years to get used to skipping daily washes and minimizing my blow dryer use. I'd end up with a frizzy A-frame shaped do, or a lifeless, gel-crusted mop. I tried this brush after seeing it in a hair masterclass. This brush has made a difference in my confidence when working with my hair. Even in the dead of summer, the frizz is minimal, my waves/curls keep their shape without the necessity of crusty gel, and I have actual definition. Not only has it helped me style on air-dry days, but it has also made my day-two style easier to manage. I can use this to gently brush out the sections to give me a nice, soft wave without it immediately frizzing. I don't exactly understand how the brush does what it does, but I'd absolutely recommend it for wavy hair folks that want to define and control. Just a great brush all around." —AM

Promising review: "This stuff is the key ingredient to stop frizzy hair. After shampooing, conditioning, and applying leave-in conditioner, I apply a dime-sized amount (my hair is above my shoulders) to the middle to the ends. I style my hair and go about my day. Even on really humid days, my hair doesn't have frizz anymore. It's a miracle product." —Chelsey

Prose
Promising review: "I was super skeptical about Prose products working for me since I'd spent a lot of money trying nearly every other hair product on the market with little to no results. I have been absolutely blown away by the positive changes with my hair since using Prose. My once frizzy, tangled, thinning, blah hair is now full and bouncy, and the healthiest it's looked in YEARS. I have gotten so many compliments (including from my hairdresser!) on the condition of my hair and how amazing it's looking. I don't typically write reviews, but I honestly can't express enough how very happy I am with this product. The shampoo is super light, which made me worried it wasn't going to suds up how I like, but it gets super sudsy and leaves my hair feeling all the way clean." —Nicole B.

Prose
Promising reviews: "My conditioner has been great! I use about three to four pumps and run it through my hair from its mid-lengths to the roots. I have noticed greater curl definition and far less frizziness thanks to the conditioner." —Brielle W.
"I've never had such defined waves without frizz. This is by far the best conditioner I've ever used. I can tell it was made just for me and my hair issues." —Elise P.

This has become my go-to before styling my hair with hot tools in recent months, and I truly love it. It's the same spray they use at my hair salon, so I like feeling like I'm giving myself the salon experience every time I style my hair at home. It definitely helps with frizz (so much so that my hair doesn't hold a curl the way it used to, but alas, I'll take that if it means no frizz)! Also, this stuff smells so good. Like...SO GOOD. I highly recommend finishing off your styled look with Kenra's Platinum Silkening Gloss, which you only need a teensy bit of (and also smells SO GOOD).
Promising review: "I am absolutely thrilled with the Kenra Platinum Blow-Dry Spray! This product has become an essential part of my hair care routine. First and foremost, the time-saving aspect is a game changer. I can't believe how quickly I can achieve a salon-worthy blowout with this spray. It not only protects my hair from heat damage but also detangles, smooths, and softens, making the entire styling process a breeze. The ability of this blow-dry spray to eliminate frizz is remarkable. Living in a humid environment, I've struggled with frizzy hair for years, but Kenra has come to the rescue. Even in the most humid conditions, my hair stays sleek, smooth, and frizz-free throughout the day. It's a true game changer, and I wholeheartedly give it a well-deserved 5 stars!" —nachum zlotnick

Promising review: "Absolutely love, love, love this product. Takes the frizz completely away when my hair air-dries and makes it soft. I even have mixed 50/50 with my conditioner and let it sit in my hair during my shower, and it does the same thing. 1000% recommend." —Haley Chown

Promising review: "Works great! I always get frizzy hair when I wake up in the morning, and I have tried so many products that don't work, but since I’ve been using this product, I haven't had frizzy hair. It also makes my hair so soft and does not feel like I have any product in my hair, which I love." —Laura V.

Promising reviews: "I wondered how some girls' hair always looked perfect. Was I the only one who had fuzzy, flyaway hair in the summer? Nope, I just didn't know the secret to keeping them tamed. This stuff works great! I needed to look polished for a party, and this did the trick. I will note: make sure to get the excess off the wand before applying it to your hair, or it may glob." —Mandikaake
"This stuff is a miracle, and I plan on buying more to keep in every bag/purse/etc. I have hair that gets very frizzy/curly in the humidity, and was searching for a solution — this stuff literally made my jaw drop. It works!!! It dries soft (unlike most hair sprays) and is easy to apply. And although the box did smell a little funny, the product itself doesn’t smell at all. So happy I found this!!" —Rebecca Thorpe

Promising review: "Love this! My hair usually easily gets frizzy, and I always have little flyaways on top of my head, but this little angel stick is a lifesaver! It’s so convenient to carry it with me in my purse and re-touch during the day." —berrycake1

Just a heads-up that this contains silicone, in case that's an ingredient you try to avoid. Check out our Arvazallia Hydrating Argan Oil Hair Mask write-up!
Promising review: "Just used it for the first time last night and I already feel a huge difference. Soft, shiny hair. Helps with my frizz. I have never used a hair mask before, so I don't know how it compares to others, but it was a good, thick consistency. It did not glide off my hair and only had to stay on for 5–7 minutes. Also smells very good; I recommend it!" —Elizabeth Garcia

This cream helps define your natural texture and works best on those with wavy, curly, or coily hair!!
Promising review: "I live in the Caribbean, where it's very humid. If I let my hair dry naturally, it ends up frizzy. I have bought many products to help with my hair, and this one does the job. No hair dryer is needed, which is great for heat. Saves time. I detangle my hair and put it in my wet hair, and it's an all-day miracle." —Diny

Promising review: "I don't do product reviews, but this thing is pretty awesome. As you can see, the before and after make a huge difference [above]. I set it to 450 degrees. Let it warm up a little longer to get good heat. I put on some beard oil throughout my beard. Then, slowly brush through a few times on each area. The result is a straight beard that stays straight most of the day. Even with wearing masks and Louisiana's high humidity. 👍" —Ronnie Guillory
"I trim and style my husband's beard, and let's just say this thing has saved me from a good amount of curse words! It takes out frizz and helps with proper beard styling! THANK YOU!" —destiny

This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2a–4c curls swearing by it!
Promising review: "I have recently learned that my frizzy hair is frizzy because there is a wave/curl pattern I have yet to uncover. While I am very slowly dipping my toes in the water of my curly hair journey and not yet plopping and diffusing, I did want something that was intended for curly hair for the days that I want to just spray leave-in conditioner, brush, and air dry. I have noticed that this has done a much better job than prior leave-in conditioners at reducing frizz. This is also great to use as a detangler for my kids each day without making their hair greasy." —kaBuku

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

Promising review: "This mousse is awesome. One of the best curly hair products. I have tried a number of them, and for me, this is the top product for my hair. I have thin, fine hair that is slightly curly. This product is effective at reducing frizz, gives my hair a lot more body, is easy to apply, and is a fantastic value for the money. If you put a lot of it in your hair, it is somewhat stiff, but not really bad. It is easy enough to scrunch it between your fingers and get rid of that. It also has a pleasant scent. I would highly recommend this product." —Rebekah Baize
Get it from Amazon for $4.94.
It's recommended to use this product on the ends of your hair (be careful to avoid your scalp), two to three times per week on wet hair after you shampoo. You should use one dose if you have fine to medium-textured hair, two to three if you have thick to curly-textured hair, and add one extra dose if you have long hair.
Promising review: "Transformative. This adds an extra step between washing and conditioning, but it’s a very short step that is totally worth the effort! My hair is wavy straight (2a), fine textured, but lots of it. I’m growing out my gray, so the last few inches of my shoulder-length hair still have residual color. The Lamellar Wonder Water is a watery liquid that feels warm in your hand. You squirt it on, massage it onto your lengths, avoiding the scalp, for about eight seconds, and then rinse it off and go on to apply your conditioner. My hair is noticeably silkier, and the colored ends are smoother. No frizz or flyaways, even during high humidity or rain. I’m hooked! It’s a great product!" —WandrWoman

Sephora
Promising reviews: "Disclaimer: Scent is so amazingly wonderful; every other characteristic of the product is overshadowed. I use this brand religiously because it smells so freakin' phenomenal. I mean, seriously, if they came out with a perfume, body wash, candles (anything), they'd all be my everyday go-to. Beyond the obvious pleasantry, it's lightweight. I have a naturally oily scalp but frizzy hair. With this product, I can now go three days between washes. Reduced washes help tame the repulsive frizz I get when my hair is product-free. Reduced washes, reduced frizz = win/win. Oh, and did I mention it smells good?" —RachaelRobin

K18 was kind enough to send me a sample of this recently, and oh my goodness, I can never be without this stuff now. I'm in the midst of a really intensive semester in my grad school program right now, and as someone who enjoys a morning shower but has no time to style my hair (aka no desire to wake up earlier than I already am to style my hair), I was looking for a product that I can put in my damp hair and trust the hair gods above to not turn into a ball of frizz by the end of the day.
I genuinely can't believe how well this does just that. My hair stays smooth and looks styled with literally zero effort required on my part, all day. I'm literally the queen of frizz, so this is a huge deal for me. FURTHERMORE, I've been getting compliments galore on my hair from my family and friends since incorporating this into my routine. My parents recently commented that my (naturally thin) hair has been looking thicker/healthier, and a colleague even asked me the other day if I had gotten my hair done the night before (I didn't, but I was really excited she thought so).

Mane Club, Elizabeth Lilly / BuzzFeed
Promising review: "I’ve been dealing with frizzy, fly-away hair for as long as I can remember — and this One Hit Wonder spray has been a real game changer. The application is smooth, lightweight, and my hair feels soft rather than stiff or weighed down. I’ve noticed that the frizz is kept under control and those little flyaways stay put even on humid days. The heat-protection benefit is a big plus for my routine too. For the price, this leave-in spray delivers premium-feeling results without the premium cost. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a smart, affordable way to smooth your hair and simplify styling." —Loves Being A Mom
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
Here's BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly's stamp of approval:
"I got turned onto this stuff after some colleagues put it in stories and after trying just about every hair oil out there, I can assure you that this is the good stuff. It's great for finishing off your look after heat styling (like with a curling iron or straightener) or helping your hair calm down post-blow-drying. I always keep a bottle in my medicine cabinet!"
Promising review: "I have pretty fine hair, so I am always worried about it looking oily when I use products. My hair also gets frizzy very easily. I only use about one pump... two max, and it makes my hair so soft and doesn't get frizzy. The little bottle lasts a long time too. Would recommend." —C.E.

Promising review: "My 9-year-old daughter has very thick hair that tangles up badly and gets really frizzy. My sister got this for her at Christmas, and we used the entire bottle within two months. It works! We've tried tons of other products claiming to tame frizz; none worked well, or if they did, it was only for a short time. This one works ALL day, smells amazing, and leaves her hair soft and silky even with her curls. We will continue to use this product and give a good review anytime we do!" —Heather Frakes-Williams
