Taming the frizz

It’s really only in menopause that this frizziness has begun. For years I’ve used aveda’s Be Curly cream and their brilliant gel, but with menopausal thinning it’s just too heavy. It gets flat AND frizzy.

Definitely try the IGK 4 in 1, it is the only thing that doesn’t weigh my hair down. I hear you with the menopause frizz! For air drying you might want to try the JVN Complete Air Dry Cream, or Briogeo Soft Power Air Dry Cream.

I posted about my short hair cut and got a recommendation to use pomade. I had never used pomade before and I really like it. It's very thick but doesn't make my hair feel overly greasy and not at all crunchy like gel does. I don't know how well it would work for long hair but I'm planning to continue using it to see how it goes as my hair grows out, because I've always struggled with frizz.

I have long hair, sort of dry and frizzy, and the best thing I have done about frizz is using a teeny bit of hair oil on the ends, make sure I get it on the ends, before I blow dry it. It’s like a miracle.

*I make sure I get hair oil on all the ends

I use Aveda Smooth Infusion

I love the Roz milk hair serum - tames frizz when I air dry and is so lightweight.

Brush it out and then apply OUAI leave-in conditioner. USE the Revlon dryer (nothing works better than this--even the Dyson). Follow up with a tiny bit of the OUAI hair oil. Then, twist it into a tight bun until you're ready to go out.

I have to disagree. I have used pretty much every drying brush out there and IMO the shark flex style gives a much nicer blowout than the Revlon hands-down. Plus the Revlon is very damaging due to the heat.

I’m a new poster, and have had a similar experience to the PP in that the Revlon works better than the Shark on my hair. I agree the Revlon is drying over time which is why I bought a Shark (their competitor to the Dyson airwrap- I think called Shark Flex?) and the Shark doesn’t pull my hair taut enough to produce a smooth blow out, vs my hair always looks great after using the Revlon tool.

I sometimes consider cutting my shoulder length hair into a chin length bob specifically because I have frizz-prone hair and I miss the ease of pomade. IME it doesn't work once my hair gets more than an inch or so longer than my chin. But I really miss the ease of it, both after air drying as well as heat styling.

Dyson Airstait with Amika Anti-humidity spray.

OP here—I tried this with squalane oil this morning and it helped! Definitely cheaper to try something I already had.

I hated nothing more than the Dyson Airstraight! If you have layered wavy hair, it gives you shelves!

Try Verb Ghost Oil on the ends

Another vote for Dyson and Olaplex. It is what I buy (am a personal shopper) for almost ALL my very wealthy clients.

Be careful with Olaplex. So many women come in my family's salon with damaged hair, even when following the directions on the bottle. It can be quite harsh. One woman's hair was breaking off halfway off the shaft.
