Treatments For Frizzy Hair

Frizz is a common problem in dry, damaged hair. It can cause unsightly fly aways or add unruly volume to an otherwise sleek hairstyle. Several over-the-counter haircare treatment products provide effective smoothing effects to help tame back the frizz and restore your hair's natural, lustrous shine. But not all anti-frizz treatments are made alike, and some are better than others. For optimum frizz-fighting results, choose a cream or serum that's received positive reviews from haircare experts.

The Body Shop Define & No Frizz Styling Cream

Haircare expert Paula Begoun tested The Body Shop's anti-frizz styling cream and ranked it as very good. She liked its silky, thin texture and said it makes your hair "look shiny and feel smooth" while simultaneously lending a bit of "soft, natural control" to help limit flyaway hair. The Body Shop makes the cream with all-natural Brazil nut oil, avocado oil and rice bran oil to help moisturize your hair.

John Frieda Frizz-Ease

You don't need to spend a lot of money on frizzy hair treatments. John Frieda's frizz-fighting serum was ranked as the best all-around frizz fighter by "InStyle" magazine, and it's available at budget-friendly prices in most drugstores. It depends on shine-enhancing silicone to coat your frizzy hair and smooth it out. The serum also contains basic sunscreen ingredients to limit the damage that the sun's ultraviolet rays inflict on your hair.

Living Proof No Frizz Straight Making Styling Cream

Living Proof's anti-frizz cream earned praise from "O," the magazine published by Oprah Winfrey. The magazine notes that it effectively combats frizz without feeling greasy, a common problem with some frizz creams and serums. It's formulated with a proprietary anti-frizz complex that battles frizz while also boosting shine and hydrating your hair shaft.

Rene Furterer Myrrhea Silkening Fluid

Rene Furterer's frizz-smoothing liquid treatment was called the best frizz fighter for medium hair by "InStyle" magazine's beauty editors. They gave it top marks for its non-greasy feel that doesn't weigh down your hair. The manufacturer uses myrrh extract, silicone and avocado oil to moisturize and tame down frizz. It's also formulated without harmful ingredients like parabens or sulfates, so your hair stays healthier in the long run.
