Secrets to Defrizzing

Frizz is no one's friend, so take it down with one of these moisture-rich products that your hair will thank you for

What's your sleekability factor? As the weather gets balmy, your hair is likely to turn into a halo of frizz that will make even the most beautiful cut and color look like a neglected, unruly mess. To the rescue: products formulated to repair frayed cuticles and calm out-of-control tresses. Make these a part of your warm-weather daily haircare routine and you'll win the fight against frizz.

Smoothing Shampoos
Frizz happens when humidity seeps into the hair shaft, causing it to expand. Frizz-busting shampoos like Oscar Blandi Shampoo di Jasmine - Smoothing Shampoo and Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Shampoo have moisturizing ingredients that leave hair well hydrated so it won't absorb moisture that's in the air the way parched strands will. Both also contain olive oil to boost shine, so your hair looks especially radiant on those sunny days.

Smoothing Conditioners
In winter you needed a conditioner that helped plump up skinny strands flattened by dry indoor heating. During spring and summer what you want is a conditioner that will slim down tresses swollen with moisture absorbed from the air. Switch to a conditioner designed to help the cuticle lie flat such as Marc Anthony Frizz Smoothing Conditioner, which

accomplishes that task by coating your hair with a light film of silicone and silk fibers.

Leave-In
Don't think of leaving home on a steamy day without protecting your hair with a product that helps seal the hair cuticle. John Frieda Weather Works Style Sealant Creme locks out style-ruining elements and locks in shine. Put a small dab into your palm, rub your hands together and gently glide over wet or towel-dried hair. If your hair is long and thick, dispense a double dab.

Styling
The final critical step in your antifrizz defense is a lightweight styling and conditioning cream (John Frieda Secret Weapon) or serum (Phyto Phytolisse Finishing Serum for Frizzy Hair) to help tame flyaways and maintain a nongreasy glossy finish throughout the day. Keep one in your purse for quick touch-ups in case you find yourself caught in a spring shower or making an impulsive beach getaway.
