Life-saver shampoos
The best shampoos for taming frizz are usually free of sulfates. Also, every time you wash your hair, you’re stripping away its natural oils, and it’s the natural oils that tend to be great frizz fighters. Note: It’s totally okay to skip a wash every now and then.

Top-notch conditioners
Let your conditioner sit in your hair for several minutes before washing it out. Conditioner coats your hair with moisturizers, keeping it from becoming too dry and thus, frizzy. On super humid days, leave a little on the ends when you get out of the shower to keep your hair coated till sundown.

Toss the towel
This is important: Do not completely dry your hair with your towel! Instead, dab the towel through your hair, leaving it a little wet. Even better, invest in a microfiber towel. It is a lot softer than a normal towel and keeps the hair shaft smoother—which means less breakage.

Silky pillows for silky locks
If you go to bed with wet hair, see if you can swap out your pillowcase for a silkier one! A regular cotton pillowcase could keep your cuticles from sitting nice and smooth.

Comb with confidence
Swap out your basic brush for a wide toothcomb. Combing your hair with a wide comb will prevent you from going against your hair’s natural drying pattern and keeps strands healthier overall.

Hair helpers
Investing in a frizz serum will make all the difference. Apply your product of choice throughout the ends of your hair. Stay away from your roots because you don’t want your locks to look greasy. Try out different products to see what works best for you, but avoid anything with alcohol in it!
