Promising review: "I have beautiful, healthy, naturally curly and VERY frizzy hair. 😲I take good care of my hair and don't color anymore because it dries out too much. Nonetheless, I wear my hair up all the time because I can't tame the ugly frizzies. And I've tried all kinds of products hyped for frizz control. 💲💲💲Nothing worked. Until now....as I write, my long, curly hair is down around my face. And my grey hair is so soft and shiny. First day of use: frizzy out of the shower and tamed down very nicely with my electric curlers. And the best part is how long it is holding the curl! This is the second day and still not frizzy and curl is beautiful. Walked my dogs this morning in very humid air. Returned home and to my surprise: no frizz and curls still gorgeous. I'm sold. Won't run out of this." —Susan Get it from Amazon for $41.50+ (also available in a two-pack). Promising review: "WOW!! LOVE this product. I have very straight, very fine, limp and hard to manage hair. I have tried every hair product to try to get some volume, curl, etc., and nothing has worked, until now! I tried this product as soon as I got it. Washed my hair, dried it a bit with towel & applied WOW Raise the Root, blow dried it & WOW!!! I got the right amount of volume and it stayed that way all day...even in Houston's humidity." —MCS Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "This stuff is the bomb for naturally wavy hair that frizzes in humidity and rain!" —GrammyJ Get it from Amazon for $22+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "I’ve tried countless hairsprays and always come back to Redken Control 28. It holds all day without feeling stiff or crunchy, keeps frizz completely under control, and stands up to humidity like a champ. The 24 hour style memory is no joke — my hair stays exactly where I put it. A light, even mist is all it takes and it never leaves any sticky residue. Works beautifully on my finished styles and keeps everything looking polished and fresh. Once you try it you won’t want to use anything else!" —Susan Get it from Amazon for $15+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "Yes, yes, and more yes! I have maybe THE SWEATIEST head and hair in the planet. No product I have tried can bring my hair back after doing anything that makes me sweat (which at my age, is everything). This product works. It literally absorbs the sweat, dries the sweat out of your hair, has a really nice gentle non perfume smell. Follow the directions for sure, but it works! My sweat head is saved!!!...Also gives you some body back after the sweat takes it out of you." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in two sizes). Promising reviews: "Favorite Keratase product. I use it nightly and it leaves my curly hair soft and frizz free. I have dyed my hair for years, and always suffered from split ends but this product has helped my hair so much!" —Melanie "I've always struggled with my hair. I have wavy/curly hair and the humidity makes it look like a big poof. This serum is the only thing that works!" —J. Robinson Get it from Amazon for $32+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "This is the holy grail of hair products. I am in my late 40s and have thin, dry, color damaged hair. My hair has been frizzy and I could only wear a ponytail and even in that it would become a tangled rat mess. I have tried 100s of dollars in products from Keratin hair treatments, Aveda products, Nexus, Pantene, Its a 10, blowouts EVERYTHING under the sun and nothing was working. I was ready to shave my head and start over. Then I found this and read soooo many reviews and said shoot all I have to lose is more money. So for my fine, thin, color/highlighted damaged hair I got the 4/5 shampoo and conditioner, weightless nourishing mask,#3 Bond building hair and the #9 Bond Protector. My hair is now SOOOFFFTTT, not frizzy even when it is humid out (I live in the desert) so not many humid days until recently. This is all in just three days!!!" —Flippo Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in four sizes). Promising review: "Over the years I have tried many many hair product to control frizz and leave my hair smooth , soft and shiny. My hair is not oily and is low porosity. Humidity turns it into a bush! This product is fabulous! It leaves my hair soft and silkier. What a difference. It makes me feel like a new woman!" —Beth Promising reviews: "My hair gets oily hours after I wash it, not even a full day. Not exaggerating! I’ve bought different sprays and powders; this is by far the best product out there. A little goes a long way, and my hair is not oily for about three days without reapplying; it gives volume and doesn’t look powdery. No lie, this is a life-changing product! It lasted me all month compared to others that last a couple of weeks!" —Amazon Customer "I’m in my 60s my hair is fine but not thin. I get it highlighted so I try not to wash it but a couple times a week. I’ve tried many dry shampoo sprays including some high end brands and I hated them all. I love this product it works great for my hair even after I’ve ran and my head sweats a lot I let my hair dry and use this the next morning and it will hold the product for a couple days. Best I’ve found and I’m sticking with it" —Theresa Promising reviews: "I saw this product mentioned in so many articles about cheap products that are great. I don't know what took me so long to purchase this, but I am kicking myself for waiting!! My hair is DAMAGED. Beyond fried. I've bleached it so many times. I am consistently changing my hair color, and while the semi-permanent dyes don't hurt it, the bleach sure does! My hair always feels like straw. My hair looks and feels INCREDIBLE!!! It is so soft, and I am just absolutely in love! This will forever be used by me from now on!" —Krystle "After shampooing I towel dried and left in hair for about 30 minutes. Dried hair as usual. It has kept my hair nice and shiny all week. I live in LA where humidity is extremely high and even worse with all the rain this week. Hair still looks great, did it Saturday and today is Wednesday. Nice product!" —Gin Promising review: "I have curly hair and live in the south; it can become frizzy with all the humidity. This is the best product I’ve found to control the frizz. It’s very thick and sticky so I only need a small amount. Smells good, lightly scented." —Katharine Get it from Amazon for $13.89+ (also available as a two-pack). Promising reviews: "I’ll admit I was extremely skeptical because every single 'viral product' I’ve tried so far I’ve been disappointed in...not this one! I used it for the first time this morning and could instantly tell a big difference with the first patch of hair I dried. I will definitely NEVER run out of this product again, and I plan to get the shampoo as well. I highly recommend this product for anyone that has dry or damaged, fine hair." —Stefanie "Lives up to the hype. I've heard a lot about K18 but was skeptical. It's getting warmer and more humid where I live and my hair gets frizzy in high humidity so I thought I'd give this a try. I used it this morning after my shower and it really does work. My hair feels soft, is nice and shiny and there is no frizz. It is light weight and smells good. I only used 4 pumps on my hair that is just above shoulder length." —A. Sparks Get it from Amazon for $29+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this product. Having recently moved to a more humid climate I was desperate to find a product that worked when it was humid outside. Nothing worse than taking the time to do your hair, go outside and have your hair look like a dandelion! My hair is bleached and dyed platinum so any product I use has to protect and work. After using it only once, my hair looked fantastic. The humidity had no effect whatsoever on hair. This is a game changer. I will purchase this forever. 10 out of 10!" —Valerie Get it from Amazon for $14+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "By far, only product that has kept my hair from getting ruined. I live in a desert city, very, very hot and humid summers. I have tried so many different expensive brands and this one has been the only one that has worked. I was finally able to style my hair during summer and my hair will last for days. My hair is curly by the way." —Bobs Promising reviews: "Tame those flyaway hairs! I have a lot of breakage since my hair is back alot...but those lil hairs in the front poking up were driving me nuts. The Styling Stick keeps the hairs down and i'm looking polished." —415missy "Surprisingly good at taming my hair even in humid weather, keeps my style looking neat and in place, really happy I found it." —samrich1106 Promising reviews: "Since I started using this treatment without rinsing, I have noticed an incredible change. The texture is light, doesn't leave hair greasy or heavy, and absorbs super fast. With only a small amount is enough to cover the tips and middles. After applying it, my hair is much softer, more manageable, and has a healthy shine. In addition, it helps a lot to control frizz, especially on wet days." —Maria "I really like how it tames my wild hair. I live in the South, where the heat and humidity make my hair awful looking. And this oil calms my hair a lot. I love the moisture level that it gives without weighing down with greasiness. The is a great product and the price is nice. When I run out, I will definitely be buying more. And I'm recommending this oil to family." —Fleurgurl Promising reviews: "I am super picky about hair products, texture, stickiness, scent, literally every part of the hair product has to be 'right' or I can't use it. This stuff WORKS — definitely makes hair bigger without any texture or scent; it's a pump foam mousse-type product, and seems to add volume and texture regardless of if I blow-dry or not. If I air-dry, it really brings out my natural curls, and if I blow it dry I get a nice fullness from the heat that lasts through the next wash. This product does what it says it will do! I have type 1C hair, thin strands, can be wavy but mostly ends up straight and flat with lots of hair, some are coarse because I'm about 20% gray. (Latina hair)" —B Got Out Of Line "ABSOLUTELY loving the volume I get from this product!!!!! I live in Louisiana and the humidity is a big factor and this product has saved the day many times!!!!" —Lisa Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in three sizes). Promising review: "Pleasantly surprised how well this product managed my hair and has kept it smooth through a rainstorm. Gorgeous scent." —OldMakeupArtist Get it from Ulta for $19+ (available in two sizes). Promising reviews: "I'm on my third bottle of the One Hit Wonder Spray from Mane Club. This is by far the best leave-in conditioner I have ever used. It works so well for my very curly, very thick, and very damaged hair. It adds so much moisture to my hair and really keeps it hydrated. It prevents my hair from getting frizzy and helps keep my curls defined. My hair feels so soft and shiny after using this product. It's also so much easier to brush through my hair because I have no tangles when I use this. It smells divine and makes my hair smell divine. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for an effective multi-benefit leave-in conditioner spray." —Dylan & Tiffany Bennett "I’ve been dealing with frizzy, fly-away hair for as long as I can remember — and this One Hit Wonder spray has been a real game-changer. The application is smooth, lightweight, and my hair feels soft rather than stiff or weighed down. I’ve noticed that the frizz is kept under control and those little fly-aways stay put even on humid days. The heat-protection benefit is a big plus for my routine too. For the price, this leave-in spray delivers premium-feeling results without the premium cost. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a smart, affordable way to smooth your hair and simplify styling." —Loves Being A Mom Promising reviews: "A magical hair volumizer for those who have lost hope. I have always been frustrated by my hair weighing down around the crown; even if I could get some body into it in the morning, it was flat by midday. This stuff is amazing! I just sprinkle a tiny bit around my roots/crown, and it lasts all day and into the next. It's like a dry magic gel! Love this stuff and my 'new' hairstyle capabilities. The container is super tiny (think height of a cell phone), but a little goes a LONG way. It makes skipping washing hair that much easier for those of us with non-volumized hair/roots." —Jennifer Cibor "Went to get my purple hair highlighted at Perfect Look and she used this on my hair which is finer than frog's fur and I have to say this is the most incredible product I have ever seen. I have thin, oily hair and sweat from hot flashes and so far this keeps my hair lifted and full looking and feeling. L♥VE IT!" —Linda Get it from Amazon for $21.95 (also available in a two-pack). Promising reviews: "I've been dyeing my red hair for a few months now with 30 vol. developer, and it dried my hair so bad. I've never had it very dry until I went red. I've always had black hair. When I brush my hair, I can see the ends just fall off, and it takes way longer for my hair to naturally dry than it used to. I used this product and WOW! I'm in love. It does exactly what it claims to do. My hair is soft, shiny, smells good, and I can see and feel the difference on the ends. I don't put too much only because I don't want to risk my hair looking too oily, but I have found a little goes a long way." —Maria369 "this really stops the frizzles on a hot humid summer day in Houston. I was surprised that it worked. I just used shampoo and cond. and then this product on my curly shoulder length hair. I did a blow out and and it looks great. I did a full 90's blow out. I slept on it and combed it out in the morning, no friz or touch up needed. I have been outside between the parking lot and the office building several times today at it is 80% humidity and 92 degree outside. My hair is very soft too, and not sticky or greasy.....definitely will buy more." —MEB Get it from Amazon for $13.29+ (available in two sizes and five other formulas). Promising reviews: "When I say get it, I mean, go get it! When you have curly hair, you assume frizz is normal. I got this today, and it literally put the brakes on over 70% of my frizz. I’m a busy mom with three kids under five. I typically don’t write reviews unless I need to share, and I need to share! It’s an easy spray bottle; spray it all over my hair after I get out and lightly towel-dry it. I spray it all over, from root to tip, then use my normal mousse and gel after, and I am obsessed. The bottle size is decent, and the value for the price is unmatched. The product you could barely tell was there until you saw the results. It’s not greasy or heavy! I don’t feel it weighs down my hair, and it’s held throughout the day so far. I can’t speak for an overnight hold, but we will see you in the morning. 10/10 for me!" —Devan Farren "I work in a pretty sweaty, humid, environment. Following the super easy instructions on this item has truly helped me become more confident at work with my hair without my hair going quite literally everywhere. Keeps my hair looking beautiful while I’m throwing boxes around and working a sweat. My hair is nowhere near as greasy and even though my hair is super thick, it holds." —Molly Get it from Amazon for $8.97+ (available in three styles and sizes). Promising review: "Love this. It doesn’t leave a white cast after it dries and keeps my flyaways tamed. I like the longer wand. No clumps when you take it out of the tube. Easy to apply to your hair. Good value, especially for the brand. I like the rounded slim tube instead of the hard plastic that I’ve gotten before. Functions as it should without the mess." —Myan Espino "coming from a cosmetologist, get this! worth the buy, lasts all day, even blow drying clients and sweating! usually products would be giving away by end of day,,, not this one!" —Mel Promising review: "I have super frizzy, curly hair and live in New England, where we have super humid summers. I have been struggling to find a product that de-frizzes my hair without making it look oiled down, and this is it. I put it in my wet hair after washing, towel-dried, and put my hair in a ponytail to go to work. My hair was frizz-free all night — even working outside in high humidity. People even asked if I did something to my hair! This is an amazing product for the price. Absolutely buying again and would recommend to anyone with a frizz issue." —Marissa Get it from Amazon for $4.22 (also available in a two-pack). Promising reviews: "This product is terrific for hiding the pesky gray hairs that start to emerge 1–2 weeks after coloring my hair. I have dark hair, and a lot of gray around my forehead and temple areas, so any gray hairs are beyond obvious. Once they start to peek out, I use this product, and I can last another couple of weeks before coloring." —Carissa K "This is very easy to use. And it blended in very good with my red hair. It covered the gray nicely, stayed in my hair even though I was sweating and after one wash there was still a little bit of color there." —Vale Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in 11 shades). Promising reviews: "The amika Smooth Over Frizz-Fighting Treatment is an absolute lifesaver for my hair! From the first use, I noticed a huge difference. My hair felt softer, smoother, and less frizzy even in humidity. It doesn’t weigh my hair down or leave any greasy residue, just a sleek, healthy shine that lasts for days. The scent is amazing (like all Amika products!) and makes my styling routine so much easier. I get salon-smooth results at home, and my hair feels stronger over time. Highly recommend for anyone battling frizz. I say this treatment delivers every time!" —Stephanie Promising review: "This is the BEST by far that I have ever used. I have wavy hair, but when I use this and blow-dry it, my hair is straight, soft, and shiny. I bought the hairspray as well, and it keeps my hair straight with no flyaways in the South Florida humidity. The products smell really nice, too. Great investment for your hair." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in three sizes). * Products That'll Take The Guesswork Out Of Doing Your Hair * Clip-In Hair Extensions If You Want A Little More Va-Va-Voom * Products That Anyone With Dyed, Damaged, Or Dry Hair Should Add To Their Collection * For The Softest Hair Of Your Life, Try These 27 Products * Hair Products With Reviews So Good, I Bet You’ll Add To Cart BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life.
