Frizz is that chaotic, rebellious effect that appears on hair when the cuticles (the outer layer of the hair) lift and allow moisture to penetrate, causing that voluminous tangle. This causes the strands to swell and separate, giving that fluffy, hard-to-control look. The reason for this is that colored hair tends to be naturally dry, so it is very easy for it to absorb moisture and become frizzy.
Nature blessed me with curly hair, which, although lush and versatile, decides to reveal itself every autumn when the rains or snows of Winter arrive. It’s time to go to Sephora to stock up on my old anti-frizz products. I’ll tell you what my must-haves are in case frizz attacks me in the morning, or before going out to a party.
Moroccanoil Frizz Shield Spray — Bestseller at Sephora
Moroccanoil Frizz Shield Spray has been widely praised for its effectiveness in controlling frizz and improving hair health. Even before trying it, both male and female friends had recommended it to me. I have fine hair and frizz attacks me all the time, and when I apply it I have observed a notable reduction in frizz, as well as greater definition in the shape of the curls. The spray’s lightweight formula and pleasant scent also make it easy to use because it doesn’t have an invasive or annoying smell.
It can be applied to both wet and dry hair, and always gives consistent results in both cases. During humid days, it shows amazing results because it keeps hair in place by giving it weight and wicking away humidity, while protecting against heat, making it a must-have for those who use heat tools frequently. The price for the 5.4oz bottle is $32.
Living Proof No Frizz Smooth Styling Spray — A Frizz-Free Life Is Possible
When I need war tactics, more aggressive against strong humidity or in the months when it doesn’t stop raining for weeks, the Living Proof No Frizz Smooth Styling Spray is the definitive solution. It is specially designed for fine hair, both straight and wavy, and offers a series of benefits to transform your hair routine into a pleasure that leaves your hair protected from frizz.
The Living Proof spray creates a protective barrier that repels humidity and prevents frizz from taking over your hair, meaning you won’t look like Medusa from Greek mythology (the one with the snake-shaped hair). The conditioning agents present in its formula penetrate the hair fiber, leaving it soft, shiny and easy to comb.
Heat-Protector Against Hair Straightener’s Risks
If you use heat tools frequently, this spray also protects against the application of heat when straightening or styling with hair straighteners, and if you only use your hands to style, this product also allows your fingers to glide easily. Results last up to 96 hours, so you can enjoy straight, frizz-free hair for days.
I, personally, never have my hair unwashed for so many hours, but it still works for a whole day without the hair gaining uncontrolled volume again. The 6.7oz spray bottle is $40 at Sephora.
Absolute Control of Your Curly Hair
I haven’t tried this particular one yet, but I just ordered it through the Sephora website. The Ouai Anti-Frizz Hair Styling Cream has been very well received by other clients with frizzy hair, standing out for its ability to control frizz and flyaway, without losing its natural appearance.
Its lightweight, non-greasy formula is perfect for keeping hair manageable without leaving behind heavy residue. Plus, it offers heat protection, making it a versatile product for those who use styling tools regularly. The price is $28 on the Sephora website, and it is surely available in most US stores.
