  conditioner or anti-frizz product, then just say no to styling with brush or
  comb.

6. Put moisture back in your mane.

Frizzy hair tends to be drier, so you need to put moisture into it. Use a conditioner, a natural oil, or a frizz cream, says stylist  Natural oils are better than synthetic because they are absorbed into the hair, while synthetic
silicon moisturizers lay on top of the hair, making it appear dirty.
7. Stop ‘cooking’ your curls.

Anything that would blister your skin doesn’t feel so great on your hair either,”  To minimize frizz,  avoiding flat irons, curling irons, and limiting heat sources to a blow dryer with a diffuser.
8. Use a round brush to smooth your hair.

 If you spin a round brush through your hair as you blow dry it, it helps smooth the cuticles flat.
9. Dry only the roots of your hair.

To help reduce the chance of frizzy hair, blow dry  your roots only, it gives hair lift but helps you avoid drying out the hair shaft and hair tips.
10. Go alcohol-free.

Because 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 drug store products do.”
11. Fight afternoon frizz

by smoothing hair with a small amount of detangling spray, the kind made for baby hair.  Spray a smidge of it in your  hand and then smooth it down. It’s very lightweight and doesn’t make your hair look oily.”
12. Talk to your stylist.

If what you’re using works, use it, whether it’s a pricey product or a great drug store find. But if you want help in the fight against frizzy  hair, remember that your stylist is there to help and probably has a host of hints that’ll help keep you frizz-free from morning to night.
