If frizz is an ongoing issue for you, several salon treatments may help alleviate it. Popular choices among stylists are keratin treatments, Brazilian blowouts and Olaplex bond-building products.
Consider products containing humectants and emollients that hydrate and soothe the cuticle, like this anti-frizz serum that uses upcycled jackfruit and moringa oil to keep wavy and curly locks tangle-free without weighing them down – our former associate editor swears by it!
John Frieda Frizz Ease Serum
Frizzy hair needs treatment that smooths its cuticle and locks in moisture to reduce humidity-induced frizz. Products and salon treatments containing anti-frizz ingredients like argan oil, keratin or silicone may provide some effective ways to combat frizz.
John Frieda’s iconic anti-frizz serum can provide your frizzy hair with instant protection from heat and humidity, quickly smoothing away frizz without drying out or dehydration. Packed with moringa, coconut and argan oils this iconic hair product works to instantly transform unruly locks into healthy locks that are manageable yet hydrated and sleek – an instant solution!
Although there are several anti-frizz shampoos on the market, most only serve to coat hair in an unnecessary film layer and tame frizz by coating it with unnecessary products. Instead, consider finding an anti-frizz shampoo like Davines Nou Nou Shampoo as it hydrates while being gentle to color-treated hair types and safe for all hair types alike.
Ouai Smoothing Styling Cream
If your frizzy locks are due to dry scalp conditions or overprocessing, there are salon treatments available that will smooth them out and reduce frizz. A popular solution is Keratin treatments – chemical solutions used to seal cuticle layers on individual strands in order to reduce frizz and flyaways – usually conducted in salon with consultation beforehand and may contain formaldehyde; be sure to ask about that option!
Japanese straightening (rebonding) is another salon treatment used to permanently straighten curly or wavy locks and eliminate frizz. A full consultation must be held prior to this permanent hair straightening process.
Ouai already offers several products that help smooth frizzy locks (we’re talking to you Air Dry Foam!), but this anti-frizz creme from Ouai is their inaugural product designed specifically to treat curls. Made with upcycled jackfruit pulp, beetroot extract and plant-based polymers to smooth away frizz while offering thermal protection, this anti-frizz cream was designed specifically with curls in mind.
L’Oreal Paris Elvive Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm
The ceramide-rich treatment in this shampoo, conditioner and hair mask will work to heal your strands from within and restore stronger and more resilient hair strands from within. It aims to tackle five signs of damaged hair: split ends, weakness, roughness, dullness and dehydration.
As opposed to typical anti-frizz products that focus on controlling frizz, this shampoo actually hydrates your hair without adding weight with silicones. Plus, it’s gentle, color safe, and sulfate free – everything a good product should be!
If your frizz is due to excessive damage and weak strands, considering salon treatments that will smooth out your locks and make styling it day-to-day easier may be beneficial. Keratin treatments, Japanese hair straightening and Brazilian blowouts may all offer solutions.
Keratin treatments typically consist of applying a liquid keratin solution to your hair to temporarily straighten and eliminate frizz while making each strand less vulnerable. Treatments typically last anywhere between three and six months.
Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector
No. 3 Hair Perfector, Olaplex’s at-home version of their revolutionary salon treatment, is an intensive bond-building formula designed to restore broken disulfide bonds caused by chemical, thermal and styling damage. Targeting molecules at the core of each strand, this effective frizzy hair treatment strengthens and restores them from within, providing lasting strength and restoration for frizzy locks.
Excellent for anyone who has had their hair colored or bleached, the best hair treatment for frizz helps reverse any internal damage done by these processes and visibly strengthen and reduce breakage to strengthen it further. In turn, improving its overall look and feel.
Global best-seller, this strengthening treatment can be used as a weekly treatment or, for more severe damage, twice to three times per week. Plus, it’s safe for use alongside shampoo, conditioner, and styling products so you can continue reaping its strength-building benefits into your regular regimen – simply apply to damp hair for 10 minutes and let sit before rinsing off.
