Is there an anti-frizz shampoo or conditioner that really works?

CalminHeart — Sat, 25 May 2019 11:07:11 GMT

I feel like I've tried all kinds of brands of shampoo, conditioner, and leave-ins...from cheap to very expensive. Nothing helps with the frizz. It's humid here and and I'm looking for what worked for you. I get my hair cut regularly so cut isn't the issue. Perhaps you're using a brand I haven't tried. Thanks.

I think if it's humid and one's hair is prone to that there is not much you can do

you can get a blowout instead of doing yourself

or get it straightened which does help,

I could have written your post. I, too, have tried just about everything out there for frizz. Nothing has helped, not even a little bit. I even tried Living Proof, which came highly recommended, and was very expensive. I couldn’t even tell I had used it. I just put Softee Indian Hemp (very oily, but great for hair) in my hair, and pull it back into a ponytail. Short of wearing a wig, I don’t believe there is a product that truly prevents frizz.

Just remembered I did get a Keratin treatment several years ago. It did work wonders, but left my hair stick straight, and only lasted for about two months. It was expensive, but not any worse than a perm would cost.

@CalminHeart

Another frizz sister here.

I'm 68, and you can imagine the number of "frizz control" products I have tried in all those years.

Nothing ever really worked. Nothing.

I would try every product I saw mentioned and ended up with lots of products. Name it and I've tried it.

My hair is naturally curly and prone to frizz when the humidity hits. While I had beautiful curls for many years, it started to change as I aged. I could not get a decent cut and the curl pattern turned to mostly frizz.

A few years ago, my stylist suggested Pravana Smoothing treatment. An upgrade from the harsh straighteners of the past. She could color my hair right after the treatment, which was great.

It made my hair smooth as silk. I loved it!

Fast forward to a few months back. I saw an old photo of my curls and decided to give it another try. Well, I'm a about 6 months into no smoothing treatment and not sure I'll make it through the summer.

While I can see traces of my curls, it still gets quite frizzy.

I've been tempted to just get it smoothed again, but struggling to stay the course.

All that to say I just don't believe there is anything out there that truly stops/controls frizz unless you spray it down with hairspray

Only using a flat iron on humid days prevents mine from frizzing. No matter how high the humidity that works for me.

is that a Keratin type thing? will look it up-- it is

I have had Anti-Curl and Silis done, but they are done like a perm on the opposite way and last as your hair grows out.

but now I like to do my hair beachy waves which is hard to do if it's been straightened

I have baby fine naturally wavy hair. Baby. Fine. I'm 72 and have tried everything. It's my experience that heat + humidity = the frizzies. Nothing helps. I have my hair professionally color treated and highlighted so I use the Perfector to get volume and soft waves. I can't use curling irons or straighteners because my hair is too fine and color treated.

@CalminHeart It's neither a shampoo or conditioner, but I recommend that you try Color Wow Dream Coat. It's a spray that you apply to cleansed & conditioned damp hair before blowing it dry. It requires blowdrying so the heat can activate the product. Also, make sure you hold the section of hair taut as you dry it so you can that desired smoothness. You will not get the desired result if you just spray the product on and air dry your hair. It is not heavy or greasy and is safe for color treated hair. Look it up online and you'll see how it gets lots of positive reviews. See the link below, to read about the product.

COLOR WOW DREAM COAT

If your hair is very porous in nature, meaning it absorbs water quickly when it gets wet (mine is extremely porous), it’s a constant battle in humiditybecause it pulls in moisture from the air too- I wash once a week or less, and my hair never feels like it needs more than that- it is dry as straw.

Ive found cleansing conditioners ( I do use and like WEN), have helped a lot, because it doesn’t strip the oil and stripping the oil from hair allows frizzing to occur at its worst!

But mine still frizzes in humidity despite this, plus tons of products-

Recently I read at Naturally Curly. Com ( awesome website), that acidity helps close the hair cuticle and combats frizz, so I’m trying to add a small amount of apple cider vinegar to my daily hair refresher spritz-

i have tried hair sprays and not much success there either.

The one thing that totally works is the Keratin treatments where you flat iron-in the formula and it fill the cuticle. Awesome outcome but very pricey at a salon-

I purchased the keratin solution from Big A, and I do the treatments at home in the summer. It works, but doesn’t last as long as when done at a salon.

Thats the saga, wish I had a fail-proof method too😳🤪😤... good luck all!

@jackthebear

I don't think the Pravana product is a "keratin" product. At least the stylist has not said it was. I think I looked it up once and it wasn't mentioned.

However, it does "straighten" my hair. As it grows out, the curls/frizz return. It lasts several months. I can wash my hair, let it partially dry, and use my spin brush to get a perfect, smooth look.

It seems not to have damaged my hair as the old straighteners of past. But, I questioned doing it for the rest of my days and decided to give the curls a try again.

It's a tough go. I got used to a smooth, sophisticated look. Now, I just see an old lady with unruly hair

This is the only product I have never heard of.

Thanks for mentioning it...I'm going to give it a try.

Hope springs eternal!

I have these same issues at 73, fine wavy hair that has a frizzy life of its own in humid weather.

In desperation this week I picked up some Frederick Fekkai Glossing Shampoo at Walgreen's and wow, it has made a world of difference immediately and after several uses.

My hair is shiny but not greasy or flat, and has volume and life, looks amazing. I am not using a styling tool, just blow drying it with my usual products and it is so much better than it had been for months.

The week before I tried to buy Redken So Soft at Walgreen's and the register wouldn't let me buy it, and the manager came and took it off the shelves. Hmmmm.....so I got the Fekkai and it is great.

I did see the Redken at Ulta yesterday so don't know why Walgreen's wouldn't sell it.

I've also found I need to rotate products, not use the same ones all the time.

After spending some time last year by the beach in Florida, I was determined to tame the frizz once & for all! I spoke with my stylist and she suggested a Keratin treatment. It's expensive but lasts 3-4 months...good for a season.

So far I've gotten 2 Keratin treatments and no more frizz! I always have smooth straight hair no matter what the weather is like.

Aveda Smooth Infusion - Style Prep Smoother

Aveda Confixor Liquid Gel

I mix both of these together and apply to towel-dried hair. I have coarse, very thick hair. Results are excellent.

I have the frizzy hair and also very fine hair...the best I can do is wash only the roots and use lots of conditioner on the ends.i don’t rinse the conditioner thoroughly out.I then wrap in a towel for about ten minutes before applying styl8ng cream mixed with a few drops of argon oil to the crown on down to roots.Blowdry and flatiron after that.Never have beautiful hair but at least it’s acceptable.....our leader has bad hair and lots of money to make it great but no sucesss.I figure we are not ever going to have fabulous tresses so we should just learn to accept it.I have the worst time with my hair in Oklahoma when I visit my son and his wife...I look like I put my finger in a socket.

Curl Mix shampoo, Conditioner and Avocado moisturizer and if you have waves or curls they have a flax seed gel for extra hold

LUS Shampoo, Conditioner, All in One repair and hydrate.

What worked for my curly hair was Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Defrizzing shampoo and conditioner.
