My hair is wavy, thin, dry, grey an very frizzy ..... I also air dry and scrunch. Recently found Bumble and Bumble Curl shampoo/ conditioner which has brought back the needed moisture; and then I use Curlsmith styling souffle on soaking wet hair. It has worked fabulously to reduce the frizz. My hairdresser asked me what I was using, because my hair felt so much better. Highly recommended! Good luck!

Virtue has a spray that you can apply prior to blow drying.  I take it with me to my hairstylist and she uses it.  It lasts for about three shampoos.  It has not damaged my hair.  It is called Frizz Block Humidity Proof Smoothing Spray.

@TerryNJ   Good morning. Curly/Wavy here, too. I have found the biggest enemy to our hair type is silicone. It coats the hair and keep it from retaining moisture.  I know we were always told to keep moisture OUT, but when our hair lacks moisture, it draws it from the air.....FRIZZ.

 

Many non-frizz products like the serums, etc. are silicone based. Our hair type needs to be deep conditioned at least once a week. I use the Shea Moisture one in the tub and leave it on for at least 1/2 hr. with inexpensive, thow away shower caps. Using only microfiber towels on hair is a game changer.

 

I'm on my 9th month using only JVN products (except the other deep conditioner mask)....S&C, a leave in hair cream protector and his air dry cream. I let my hair dry on it's own for about 15-20 minutes and then diffuse. The products are on his site or at Sephora. The site explains the products and Jonathan Van Ness has how to videos on YT.

 

***I no longer color my hair. Tweak'd dried it out really bad, too. Also check that anything you're using is free of sulfates besides no silicones.

 

Good luck trying diffferent products. It's always trial and error with our hair type. I. have found using JVN's complete line makes my hair have smoothe defined curls/waves and no frizz.

I saw this topic "Frizzy Hair" and I thought -- well, this is certainly one of my issues!  I was going to start a new topic, but I will just jump in here with my question and hope that OP does not mind!

 

I was going to ask what product I could use on hair after it has been air dryed to combat frizziness and fly aways?  Most things I have used weigh my hair down and make my hair seem flat and greasy looking.

 

I don't wash my hair every day.  So, I'm looking for a product to just apply to my hair daily to smooth it out and not weigh it down.  

 

Any ideas would be appreciated!   Thanks!

The closest products to a non-crunchy mousse I've tried were Deva and Carol's Daughter styling foams. I didn't like them at all because they did nothing to keep my hair from poofing and frizzing.

I could write a book on how much my hair annoys me.  I'm a curly girl but not good curls.  And I live in Florida.  Could there be a worse combination????  I wear my hair on the shorter side but am growing out a Lisa Rinna-ish cut into more of an Amy Stran-ish length.  I've had a temporary straightening treatment called Lock & Smooth done a few times with good success.  Your hair still has body but it won't frizz.  It lasts only about 14 washes, but if you only wash your hair 2-3 times a week, you'll get some distance out of it.  For me, living in Florida, I wash it about 6 times a week so my treatments don't last as long which is totally my doing.  I'm going next week for a stronger, lengthier treatment - one of the Brazilian ones.  These type of treatments work for me because it speeds up drying time and I'm still able to enjoy my hair while it's growing out and it's not pinstraight (after a few washings).  The first day is the worst, though, because it's sooooo straight, it's like glued to your head.  I plan to stay home for 24 hours after this treatment.

 

I'm glad my hair's on my head, but, man, if anyone deserves naturally straight hair at this point in her life it's ME!!!!

@TerryNJ    I use Living Proof Nourishing styling cream and it is wonderful for frizzy hair. Love it. It is expensive but worth every penny.
