Listen, we're not going to drag this out. If you're here, it's probably because you are this close to chopping off all your hair just so you don't have to deal with a puffy mess every time you step outside on a humid day. We get it! We've been there, too. But because we love our long hair too much, we stuck to the battle, determined to find the best products to fight frizzy hair without spending our entire life savings. Here's what we found!
Suave Professionals Coconut Milk Infusion Conditioner
This conditioner might not have the words "anti" and "frizz" plastered all over its packaging, but trust us when we tell you, it really helps. The coconut milk in the formula leaves hair ultrasoft and a little weighed down, which is just what you need to stop your unruly hair from fluffing up as soon as it comes into contact with humidity.
L'Oréal Paris Advanced Haircare Smooth Intense Ultimate Straight Perfecting Balm
If you like to wear your hair straight, a dollop of this cream from roots to ends will guarantee your freshly blow-dried hair isn't frizzy — silicones and thick moisturizing ingredients in the balm coat hair to stop it from raising up. Plus, it'll protect your strands from all that extra heat you're using to style it.

Alba Botanica Hawaiian So Smooth Gardenia Anti Frizz Serum
This tiny 2-ounce bottle is easy to carry in your gym bag or purse for touch-ups through the day. Plus, it smells like vacation in a bottle.

Nexxus Frizz Defy Finishing Mist
Get to know this anti-humidity finishing spray because it's your new best friend. After long minutes (hours!) getting your frizzy hair just the way you want it, a few spritzes will seal everything in place without making hair flaky or dry.
Dove Style + Care Cursl Defining Mousse
You might be asking, "So what if I don't want to wear my hair straight?" Enter this mousse, which will give your waves a beachy look and will turn your curls into defined ringlets. It's our favorite solution on hot days when standing under a blow dryer sounds like torture.
Yes to Coconut Curl Defining Hair Smoother
If on a particularly humid day your hair needs midday help or you want a little something extra on the day after shampooing, try this coconut and olive oil light serum. We find it doesn't leave hair greasy.
John Frieda Frizz Ease 10 Day Tamer
For those of us who hate having to spend more than a second on our hair before leaving the house, there's this. Apply the gel all over dry hair preshower, let it sit for 10 minutes, then wash it off with shampoo. You'll be able to hit snooze a few extra times in the a.m. for the next week and a half.
TRESemmé 7 Day Keratin Smooth Heat Activated Treatment
Don't let the word keratin in the name of this product scare you. This isn't a Brazilian treatment with formaldehyde, instead it uses heat to attach keratin (which strengthens weak hair and reshapes it) to strands. It does need heat to work, though, so you'll have to blow-dry and straighten your hair right after using it.
Remington Anti-Frizz Therapy Professional Flat Iron
We were totally skeptical about a frizz-fighting flatiron, too, until we gave it a try. The brand says the hot plates are infused with micro-conditioners that attach to hair to prevent frizz. Whatever is it, our hair is never as silky and smooth as it is after a few passes of this tool.
Earth Therapeutics Quick-Dry Hair Towel
This is the most simple, least technological product on this list, but we can't reinforce enough how much of a difference it'll make. Roughening up your hair with your body towel to remove water kickstarts frizz even before your hair is dry. Patting hair with a microfiber towel, which is superabsorbent, is the best thing you can do.
