The Best Products to Fix Frizzy Hair: Tested and Approved
OGX Anti-Breakage Keratin Oil Instant Repair Weightless Healing Oil
I’m a huge believer in hair oils. A light, weightless formula combined with a pleasant fragrance equals a phenomenal product, especially for thick hair like mine. One of my current favorites is OGX Anti-Breakage Keratin Oil Instant Repair Weightless Healing Oil ($7.99). Not only does it smooth those pesky strands that never seem to lie flat, it also gives my highlights a little glowing boost. Perfect for summer!
Drybar Velvet Hammer Hydrating Control Cream
Sometimes you test something out and your first reaction is a cheesy jaw-drop, followed by an "OMG." That's a fairly accurate description of how I felt after I tried Drybar Velvet Hammer Hydrating Control Cream ($29) for the first time. My hair is thick, so it requires some serious product to look presentable. Just a bit of Velvet Hammer did the trick, leaving my hair silky soft and surprisingly glossy after straightening. Oh, and the smell is to die for.
Living Proof Leave-In Conditioner
It's great to use daily to leave hair sleek and smooth, but Living Proof Leave-In Conditioner ($25) is also a fantastic treatment that essentially "healed" my hair after months of constant heat styling. (A trim helped, too, of course.) Enriched with humidity-blocking ingredients, it has a rather amazing ability to stand up to even the steamiest conditions.
Garnier Sleek & Shine Moroccan Sleek Oil Treatment
Who doesn't love a good bargain? One of my favorite frizz-fighting products is Garnier Sleek & Shine Moroccan Sleek Oil Treatment ($5.99). It's versatile enough to use pre- and post-blowout, and it can even be mixed with conditioner in the shower to create a hyper-moisturizing treatment. Rinse with cool water for best results.
Aveda Brilliant Damage Control
One of my most recent discoveries is Aveda Brilliant Damage Control ($21), a spray that's formulated to protect hair from the inevitable damages of heat styling. I spray it on generously before blow drying and flat ironing, and I marvel at its ability to leave hair looking and feeling healthier than before. Best of all, it's not at all stiff or sticky---you won't ever know it's there.
Pantene Pro-V Overnight Miracle Repair Serum
Not everything is meant to be used during the day. I eagerly gave Pantene Pro-V Overnight Miracle Repair Serum ($7.99) a test drive for a couple of weeks. I applied it every other night, threw my hair up in the usual lazy bun, and woke up to surprisingly soft hair. Bonus: No cringe-worthy pillow residue!
Kerastase Reflection Masque Chroma Riche
Regular deep conditioning treatments give my hair the nourishment and TLC it needs. The Kerastase Reflection Masque Chroma Riche ($63) is an indulgence that lavishes my hair with moisture, keeps my color from fading, and leaves even the frizziest hair exceptionally smooth.
