⇢ tame with a touch of conditioner:
• to foil frizz, water down a bit of hair conditioner and then use your hands to apply it to just the tips of your hair
—
⇢ don't over-process hair:
• relaxers and straighteners can make hair brittle and lead to breakage
—
⇢ use a round brush to smooth your hair:
• spin a round brush through your hair as you blow dry to help smooth the cuticles flat
—
⇢ go alcohol-free:
• alcohol can dry hair out, setting you up for frizz, look for alcohol-free products
• that may mean switching to salon-quality shampoos, conditioners, and hairsprays
• salon-quality products don't have to last as long on the shelf, so they don't contain as many harsh ingredients -- like alcohol -- as supermarket and drugstore products do

⇢ fight afternoon frizz:
• smooth your hair with a small amount of children’s detangling spray
—
⇢ talk to your stylist:
• If what you're using works, use it, whether it's a pricey product or a great drugstore find
• but remember that your stylist probably has a host of hints that'll help keep you frizz-free from morning to night
