Anti-frizz hair products

Balmain Paris Hair Couture Argan Moisturizing Elixir, about $44, at Net-A-Porter

1/11

Pure organic argan oil lies at the heart of this ultra-luxe hair serum-oil hybrid. While the texture feels quite slippery and rich, it penetrates into the hair shaft quickly and once fully absorbed, doesn’t leave any greasy or sticky residue at all, making it perfect for those with fine hair. Rich in antioxidants, fatty acids and silk protein, it accelerates repair, locks in moisture and protects weakened hair from UV rays and pollution. Apply onto clean, damp hair before blow-drying or rub into dry ends whenever needed. we also love the soft and feminine fragrance.

John Frieda Frizz Ease Original 6 Effects Serum, $19.90

2/11

One of the few beauty products that truly stood the test of time—it has been around for over two decades—and is still widely popular and raved about by loyal fans and beauty insiders. Designed to be applied on wet hair (not towel-dried), the presence of water helps the viscous serum spread and coat every strand of hair easily. To avoid a dripping mess, we recommend squeezing out excess water before applying the serum, focusing on the lengths of the hair from below the ears. Comb through with fine-toothed comb to ensure that the serum is evenly distributed. A pea-sized amount is enough for those with fine and short to medium-length hair, but feel free to use more or less product as long as your hair doesn’t feel greasy once it’s dry. Expect smoother, glossier and more manageable locks.
