Tame the Frizz: Top 5 Products for Your Hair

Layered, Coarse, Curly or Chemically-treated Hair Needs Serious Help!

With summer heat and humidity comes frizzy hair. If your hair has been layered, or layer razored or chemically treated with highlights or straightening chemicals, chances are you've had more than one bad hair day this summer. Naturally thick and coarse hair or wavy hair can also frizz. There are so many frizz-related products it can be hard to choose which one is best for you.

Unlike with facial cleansers and moisturizers, it is not neccessary to use the same brand of shampoo, conditioner, gel/mousse or lotion and hair spray. It's okay to mix and match hair product brands based on your personal usage results, i.e. no more frizz head. In order to combat frizziness, a product which is applied to soaking-wet or towel-dry hair is essential. Finishing products are great for finishing, but you have to start with an anti-frizz look before you can put on the finishing touches.

Based on personal experience, here are the top five anti-frizz products:

5. Citre Shine's Shine Miracle Anti-Frizz Polising Serum contains vitamis, sunscreen and silicones. The citrus extracts enhance your hair's shine. For an ultra-shiny and smooth look also try Citre Shine's Anti Frizz Spray Laminator.

4.John Frieda's Frizz-Ease Hair Serum was one of the first anti-frizz products I tried. At the time my hair was chemically damaged and this product made it glossier, stronger and much less frizzy. This product works best on soaking wet hair and contains a sunscreen. There now also a light formula available.

3.Marc Anthony's Simply Straight Instant Straightening Cream is made for curly hair, however I found it was the perfect solution to tame my thick, wavy and frizzy hair. It is a soft blue lotion that is best applied to damp hair. It straightens the hair with silicone and is great for those mornings when blow-drying is not an option.
