Like the N'Sync [1] song that you haven't been able to get out of your head all day, frizz won't go away without a little help. With the many different hair products [2] out there, it's hard to pick out what works best to smooth your hair after humidity has gotten to it, so POPSUGAR editors have done the legwork for you. On this list, you'll find a treatment that one editor says is like "a raincoat for your hair," a leave-in that keeps ringlets from defying gravity, and a hairspray in a dispenser that is easy on the environment — even when it's not being kind to your curls.
There is nothing wrong with frizz, but if you don't like how it's working with your hairstyle, these products are sure to do the trick. Ahead, see our picks for the best antihumidity hair products.
Redken Frizz Dismiss Sulfate-Free Shampoo
"I've been really digging Redken Frizz Dismiss Sulfate-Free Shampoo [3] ($22) and Conditioner [4] ($22). I used it every day before heading off for 10-hour stints at Coachella, where I danced, sang, and sweat my ass off — but you'd never be able to tell, because my hair was that smooth." — Kelsey Castañon, senior beauty editor
DevaCurl High Shine Multi-Benefit Oil
"It's humid and gloomy as I write this, but my hair smells like summer thanks to DevaCurl High Shine Multi-Benefit Oil [5] ($29). This is the first time the brand has delved into the world of oils, and they spent lots of time to make sure they got it right. It offers shine without the weight and has a dizzying array of nourishing ingredients that'll leave your curls frizz-free. I'm sure you'll be hearing about it a lot over the coming months, just remember I put you on first." – Tembe Denton-Hurst, associate editor, Makeup.com
Colour Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray
"The Colour Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray [6] ($28) is — no lie — a raincoat for your hair, shielding it from the moisture in the air so strands don't start to fuzz and poof the moment you walk outside. You use it like a heat-protecting spray: Spritz it from roots to ends when your hair is still damp, then blow-dry your hair. The heat activates the proprietary polymers in the formula to link together to form a waterproof shield over your hair (it doesn't work if you just spray it in and air dry). It's incredibly effective for my fine, highlighted hair, but I have beauty editor friends whose hair is naturally thicker and frizzier and it works for them, too." — Sophia Panych, content director, UK
Oribe Imperméable Anti-Humidity Spray
"Oribe Imperméable Anti-Humidity Spray [7] ($42) is one of my go-to's for when I want to preserve a blowout. It keeps my hairstyle intact without ever diminishing its shine. It also smells incredible, making me look forward to every time that I use it" — Jesa Marie Calaor, assistant editor, Beauty
Living Proof No Frizz Weightless Styling Spray
"I have my parents to thank for giving me my unique genetic-blend of Jewish-Colombian way hair – as well as its tendency to go inflate at any sign of humidity. Thankfully, I discovered the Living Proof No Frizz Weightless Styling Spray [8] ($28) last Summer and never looked back. As long as I spritz each section of my hair with this conditioning spray, my style will stay throughout the day without becoming a giant poof of little gravity-defining hairs." — Sarah Siegel, assistant editor, Beauty
Garnier Fructis Sleek Shot In-Shower Styler
"I have the kind of hair that poufs up in a decidedly un-cute way at the mere mention of humidity, so fighting frizz is always top of mind. I usually rely on products that I apply to damp or dry hair to get the job done, but the Garnier Fructis Sleek Shot In-Shower Styler [9] ($5) has become a mainstay in my routine. The application is a bit unconventional but not complicated: mix one part Sleek Shot with one part shampoo and lather, rinse and follow with conditioner as usual. I could tell the first time I blow-dried my hair after using it that it was going to be a game-changer. My hair felt smooth, soft and looked extra shiny. I don't what kind of wizardry is in this magical hair product (and to be honest, I'm not sure I want to), but I haven't turned on my flatiron since I started using it." — Lindsey Unterberger, assistant editor, Makeup.com
Love Beauty and Planet Coconut Milk Light Hold & Frizz Control Hair Spray
"Misting on the Love Beauty and Planet Coconut Milk Light Hold & Frizz Control Hair Spray [10] ($9) before you heat-style your hair ensures that it is impermeable to humidity, sweat, and other moisture that would otherwise cause your style to fall or frizz. It has kept my waves and curls intact for days, and I love its compressed air bottle, which doesn't release greenhouse gases into the environment." — JC
