Looking for the best frizz fighters on the market? We've got treatments, shampoos, conditioners and masks.
1. Best At-Home Frizz Fighter: Keratin Complex Smoothing Treatment
You won't find a better at-home straightening product than this one. While many women with frizzy, curly hair depend on Japanese or Brazilian straightening methods, others are turning to Keratin Complex to get similar results at home. It eliminates up to 95 percent of frizz and curl and is supposed to cut drying time in more than half. The only downside is the price. At $300, it's costly, but cheaper than a salon treatment. [p] "It deposits a coating of keratin and silicone, which is then heat processed to lock the hair into a smooth, straight appearance," says cosmetics chemist Jim Hammer to InStyle Magazine. "It won't make curly hair pin-straight, but I've seen the results, and it does significantly improve manageability."
2. Best Shampoo: Kerastase Nutritive Bain Satin
Kerastase has the best products in our opinion for curly hair. Their Nutritive Bain Elasto-Curl Shampoo is praised by beauty experts for its intense moisturizing properties. It will soften coarse, curly hair while enhancing your natural curl without letting it get frizzy on you.
3. Best Conditioner: Kerastase Nutritive Masquintense conditioner
For conditioners, go the Kerastase route again, with its Nutritive Masquintense conditioner.
4. Best Styling Cream: Ojon Conditioning Finishing Paste
Creams are a must for calming flyaways while boosting shine. We love Ojon Conditioning Finishing Paste. This product works great on dry hair. Simply rub a bit between your hands then palm over your curly hair.
5. Best Shine Serum: Neutrogena Triple Moisture Healing Shine Serum
Smooth frizz & flyaways with a great shine serum. A great less-expensive project (about $6) is Neutrogena Triple Moisture Healing Shine Serum.
6. Best Relaxing Balm: PhytoDefrisant Botanical Hair Relaxing Balm
Another great way to tame coarse, flyaway hair is to use a relaxing balm. You'll love these lightweight textures that won't leave hair feeling greasy: PhytoDefrisant Botanical Hair Relaxing Balm. This relaxing balm is considered a must-have in every stylist's kit, according to InStyle magazine's 'Best Beauty Buys' 2006 issue.
7. Best Repair Masque: Senscience Inner Restore Intensif Deep Repairing Masque
According to the company's Website, this deep repairing mask is "enriched with Shiseido Laboratories's exclusive blend of silicone emulsions to replenish moisture and key amino acids that promote healthy hair. Polymeric conditioners and humectants provide exceptional slip to hair while balancing hair’s moisture level." [p] I hear nothing but good things about this mask from friends with curly hair.
