The best shampoos for frizzy hair are typically moisturizing and smoothing. Look for formulas containing ingredients like argan oil, shea butter, keratin, or glycerin to help hydrate and control frizz.

Hairdressers often recommend sulfate-free shampoos that are specifically formulated for frizz control. They also suggest following up with a hydrating conditioner and using a leave-in treatment to lock in moisture and smooth the hair cuticle.

While not directly causing frizz, deficiencies in nutrients like iron, biotin, and omega-3 fatty acids can contribute to dry, brittle hair, which can exacerbate frizz. A balanced diet and proper hydration are important for overall hair health.

To reduce frizz, use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, avoid harsh sulfates, and apply a smoothing serum or oil while hair is damp. Minimize heat styling and use a microfiber towel to gently dry hair, as friction can worsen frizz.
