All hope was lost for my naturally wavy hair until I decided to give anti-frizz serums and creams a shot. Not all serums are built to last, but the ones below promise to smooth out your hair for hours on end. I’ve created this list based on personal experience, as well as using Amazon reviews – see the winners up ahead. I’ve used this serum for the past few months, especially through the summer, and loved how it quickly smoothed my hair out without making it feel or look oily. The serum itself is lightweight, vegan, and has a light coconut scent that won’t overwhelm your senses. It is also designed to increase shine and hydration in your locks, while keeping the frizz at bay for hours. Apply it to dry hair, starting at the hairline, and then tame any flyaways. Promising review: “This serum tames frizz and flyaways without weighing my hair down. A little goes a long way and it leaves my hair silky and shiny, not oily.” —Stephanie Kanow OGX’s argan oil has over 15,000 reviews on Amazon and a 4.7-star rating. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and is made to soften hair over time — even textured and colored hair. If you have dry tresses, this oil is made for you as it improves elasticity and adds shine with every use, according to the brand. OGX’s Renewing Oil should leave you with stronger, healthier hair with regular use, and customers agree. Promising review: “I’ve been using this argan oil for a few weeks, and it’s wonderful. It absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue and leaves my skin/hair feeling soft and nourished. The scent is mild and pleasant, and a little goes a long way.” —Darianny Campos Rodriguez This vegan cream-based formula is surprisingly weightless and offers up to 72 hours of frizz control. It has over 50,000 Amazon reviews and a 4.7-star rating, and for good reason. It reduces frizz, protects your hair from humidity, acts as a heat protectant, and makes your hair easier to detangle, according to the brand. It also reduces blow-drying times. It’s made for all hair types, and is a great leave-in if you prefer to air-dry your locks. Promising review: “My hair is fine, dense, and long. I purchased this on sale, not really expecting anything much because I had never used a styling creme. Now I use Olaplex No 6 every time I wash my hair! It makes my hair smooth, reduces frizz and helps my hair air dry a lot faster than without. My hair takes FOREVER to air dry without this product.” —Erica Another personal favorite of mine, this affordable anti-frizz serum has lasted me months and works well on my wavy hair, as well as my partner’s wildly curly hair. This nifty hair serum packs argan oil and vegan keratin to smooth your hair and keep any flyaways in place. It’s also made for all hair types, and offers up to three days of frizz control, according to Garnier. All you need is one to two pumps on dry or wet hair, and you should be good to go. Amazon customers love it too, with nearly 45,000 reviewers giving it an average 4.6-star rating. Promising review: “This serum works great! It leaves my hair soft, shiny, and frizz-free without feeling greasy. The scent is fresh and pleasant, and a little goes a long way. Perfect for dry or frizzy hair.” —Damni Bell Get it from Amazon for $6.97+ (available in two scents and multi-packs). Moroccanoil is easily one of my favorite brands for its high-quality products that both strengthen and improve the texture of my hair. This frizz control serum is no different, with argan oil and plant-derived squalene to intensely hydrate dry locks and tame extremely frizzy hair. The brand says it reduces unwanted volume by 46 percent and controls frizz for up to 72 hours. It’s popular too, with a 4.5-star rating from nearly 900 shoppers. Like all Moroccanoil products, this one has a light musky scent that lingers in your hair like perfume. I personally love it, as it keeps my hair feeling both sleek and refreshed. Promising review: “I have fine hair. I usually don't like using product because it makes my hair oily or weighs it down. This stuff does what it says it does. It makes my hair so soft and smells great. I will definitely be buying again.” —Erica This anti-frizz hair oil from Ouai does more than reduce frizz — it also smooths split ends, acts as a heat protectant, and protects hair color from fading. It has ama oil and baobab seed oil to give your hair a shiny, glossy finish, and the galangal root extract even protects your hair from UV exposure. All you need is one to three drops of this elixir. Massage it into wet hair, and you’re good to go. Amazon shoppers love it too, with over 7,000 shoppers giving it an average 4.6-star rating. Promising review: “I purchased the travel size on Prime day to see if I'd like it before buying full size. The smell is lovely (honeysuckle?) and a little product seems to go a long way. I have long curly hair and it definitely helps smooth out frizz and give my hair nice shine without being greasy.” —Alisha Hagen Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in three sizes). This might be one of the only hair products that has over 100,000 reviews on Amazon. The Color Wow Supernatural spray has an anti-humidity formula that protects your hair even in the heaviest humidity, according to the brand. It’s unscented, which makes it a great fit for those of you with a sensitive nose. It’s also made for both curly and straight hair, and is best used when your hair is damp after a shower. Then, section out your hair and apply liberally. You should only need to reapply between three to four washes. Promising review: “This product truly delivers on its promises! From the very first use, I noticed how my hair became smoother, shinier, and completely frizz-free, even on very humid days. I love that it doesn’t weigh my hair down or leave it greasy — it feels super lightweight with a professional, salon-like finish.” —Yaneisi Jimenez Get it from Amazon for $14+ (available in two sizes).
