Frizzy hair can be a common nuisance, but there are plenty of ways to combat it. These expert-approved tips from women with various hair textures offer advice on everything from investing in the right hair tools to styling techniques and simple tricks to keep your hair smooth and frizz-free.
If you're looking for a quick answer about how to get rid of frizzy hair, the truth is that there’s no magical, one-size-fits-all trick, product, or hack. While hair care brands have bombarded us with messaging that frizzy hair is the enemy, there is something to be said for occasionally embracing it.
But if you prefer a sleeker look, are looking for ways to decrease damage and get more healthy hair overall, or find flyaways to be annoying, we get that frizz isn’t everyone’s jam—especially when it’s not intentional. For those days, we gathered intel from 14 women with various hair textures who always leave us wondering how their hair looks so incredible. Read on for the frizzy-hair tips and tricks they swear by for every hair type. 1. Invest in your hair tools If you want to tame frizzy hair, it’s probably time to invest in a gold-standard hair dryer to lay the foundation for the smoothest hair possible. “Over the years I’ve realized professional hair dryers are like sports cars: crafted with high-velocity engines using top-of-the-line parts and performance-driven design and features,” says Glamour digital director Perrie Samotin. “Do your homework and be willing to spend the money. Coupled with the right high-quality brush for your texture, a professional-grade dryer is the single best way to get rid of frizzy hair, in my opinion,” she says. Samotin—who says she’s had frizzy, coarse hair her entire life—swears by Italian brands Solano and Turbo Power blow-dryers. “They’re not only powerful but beyond sturdy and literally can also last decades,” she says. We’re also big fans of the Dyson Supersonic and Harry Josh Pro Dryer for their powerful but gentle capabilities, but any of these options from our list of the best hair dryers will leave you in good hands. Samotin also relies on products that won’t weigh her hair down but can still stop frizz in its tracks. Among her favorites? Coco + Eve Like a Virgin Super Hydrating Cream Conditioner, R+Co High Dive Moisture & Shine Créme, and IGK Good Behavior Spirulina Protein Smoothing Spray, a.k.a. “keratin in a can.” When it comes to hairbrushes, Glamour art designer Channing Smith swears by the Altesse Beauté Hairbrush, which uses 100% first re-cut boar bristles to tame her thick curly hair. “When brushed through my hair, the bristles go deep enough to detangle my trickiest knots while also massaging the scalp to stimulate circulation for stronger, more resilient hair,” she says. “I saw results immediately. It gives me more time between wash days since the brush evenly distributes my hair’s natural oils. My strands are touchably soft and silky, with blowout-level volume.' 2. Style your hair when it’s wet. If you have curly hair, it’s crucial to consider not only what products you use (like these best curly-hair products), but when you use them. “If you apply your product to hair that is the slightest bit dry, your product will not evenly saturate, and you will be left with frizzy, undefined curls,” says Melissa Guido, a hairstylist and curl expert. She advises skipping a towel turban and instead applying product on super-wet hair, right out of the shower. “A great rule of thumb to follow is if it looks frizzy when it’s wet, it’s going to be frizzy when it’s dry,” she says. “I personally like to comb through a leave-in conditioner, then rake in a curl cream with my fingers, and last, scrunch with a liquid gel. This provides moisture, enhances curl definition, and holds the style so your curls stay defined for days.” 3. Try a silk pillowcase. As a former beauty editor, copywriter Jillian Ruffo has had access to every product imaginable to stretch her weekly blowout. Nothing worked, until she swapped her cotton pillowcase for a silk pillowcase. “They changed my life,” she says. “I twist my hair into a high bun and secure it with a silk scrunchie before bed—the fabric doesn’t crease my hair, especially when I’m also laying my head on a slippery silk pillowcase. In the morning I take my hair down, mist my roots with dry shampoo, and I’m good to go—no frizz at all.” 4. Keep your hands off your curls. Sometimes the best advice is totally free. “My number-one tip for preventing frizz: Keep your hands out of your curls,” says blogger Ashly Rodriguez. “Constantly touching your hair will bring all the frizz you try to avoid.” This tip may be easier said than done, but it’s a good thing to remind yourself. 5. Hairspray can be your friend. An old hairstylist trick is to lightly mist your brush or comb with some hairspray to tame frizzies and flyaways. Influencer Michaela Podolsky says she deals with frizz on a daily basis, and spraying her comb with L’Oréal Elnett Satin Strong Hairspray is the only thing that works for her. “After spraying, I lightly brush through the top of my hair to set it in place,” says Podolsky. “On top of that, I wish this hairspray came in a perfume—I love the scent. And it holds my frizz down for the entire day.” 6. In a pinch, try hand lotio
