TotalBeauty

John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Runway Straight Smoothing Milk, $5.99

TotalBeauty.com average user rating: 6
Pros: "It really does protect your hair from damage from curling irons and straighteners. It also really brings out the different browns in your hair." -- Erica07, TotalBeauty.com member
Cons: "This left my [thick, coarse, colored, straightened] hair feeling too puffy and greasy, even when I used really small amounts." -- Missy87, TotalBeauty.com member
Verdict: Skip it


TotalBeauty

Neutrogena Triple Moisture Smooth Shine Anti Frizz Cream, $7.99

TotalBeauty.com average user rating: 9
Pros: "I use this product every day. I had a really bad experience with a perm and instead of curling it started frizzing. Now [my hair is] curly as it should be and soft." -- kathyt42, TotalBeauty.com member
Cons: "I add water to it before distributing through my hair. Before doing this, I found that my hair was very limp -- happens when I use too much product." -- Maryco, TotalBeauty.com member
Verdict: Try it


TotalBeauty

MOP C-Straight Straightening Cream, $15

TotalBeauty.com average user rating: 4
Pros: "Not much is needed. I used it on my normally straight hair, that has just a touch of a perm left & it seamed to control it some." -- scat413, TotalBeauty.com member
Cons: "Unfortunately, after using this product and blowing my hair dry, my hair feels sort of sticky and dry -- definitely not run-your-fingers-through-it soft as I'd hoped." -- sawilly, TotalBeauty.com member
Verdict: Skip it


TotalBeauty

Frederic Fekkai Coiff Perfecteur Anti-Frizz Silkening Creme, $25

TotalBeauty.com average user rating: 9
Pros: "My hair is naturally wavy. This product did a wonderful job at lightly smoothing my waves (I used it with Fekkai's wave spray), that looked soft and shiny." -- mmstetson, TotalBeauty.com member
Cons: "I seriously can't say anything bad about it except that the price is a bit higher than I'd like to pay -- but I'm willing to do it if it means beating the humidity with gorgeous hair!" -- BeautyChick01, TotalBeauty.com member
Verdict: Try it


TotalBeauty

Pantene Pro-V Anti-frizz Creme, Moisturizing Curls Curl Shaper, $6.95

TotalBeauty.com average user rating: 8
Pros: This is a very good product for curls. It has the frizz fighting power of a serum, minus the grease. It keeps curls from poofing up and it gives them a good shape. It makes hair soft and has a nice smell." -- selinasesshy, TotalBeauty.com member
Cons: "This product is okay and a decent approximation of Matrix's smoothing cream. Didn't really do much for my hair but reduce frizz a bit -- I have very curly hair, so I don't need much in the way of curl boosting." -- jamirblaze, TotalBeauty.com member
Verdict: Try it


TotalBeauty

Arrojo Studio Defrizz Serum, $15

TotalBeauty.com average user rating: 9
Pros: "With this product, no more frizz, even in rainy weather. My blow-dried straight bangs no longer curl into a comma shape at the hint of humidity. It feels great on your hair; doesn't weigh it down at all!" -- CWFFWC, TotalBeauty.com member
Cons: None
Verdict: Try it


TotalBeauty

Marco Pelusi Marco Anti-Frizz Leave-In Conditioner, $35

TotalBeauty.com rating: 9.5
Pros: "Just one or two pumps miraculously detangle knots and tame frizz on all hair types. Collagen temporarily fills holes in the hair shaft, making even color-treated hair look instantly shinier and healthier." -- Charli, Editor
Cons: "Left my hair feeling stiff." -- buell0400, TotalBeauty.com member
Verdict: Try it


TotalBeauty

Suave Professionals Healthy Curls Anti-Frizz Cream, $2.99

TotalBeauty.com average user rating: 9
Pros: "My natural curls were bouncy, well-defined and frizz-free. This product is moisturizing and light -- perfect for my incredibly dry, incredibly fine head of hair. I've since abandoned my over-priced professional product for this. It works better, and I get much more product for about one tenth of the cost! -- ashalofs, TotalBeauty.com member
Cons: None
Verdict: Try it

TotalBeauty

Citre Shine Shine Mist Anti-Frizz Spray Laminator, $4.49

TotalBeauty.com average user rating: 9
Pros: "I have wavy unruly hair. When I take the time to straighten it, I spray a little of this on my brush and run the brush though my hair. It keeps the ends of my very long hair from looking dried out. And it has a nice, but not overwhelming scent." -- Icep25, TotalBeauty.com member
Cons: "Beware ... if you spray too much too close to your head, it's like straight oil." -- caseycb, TotalBeauty.com member
Verdict: Try it
