This anti-frizz serum has been a cult favourite for some time now, and it continues to rank among the best - even outperforming luxe and salon-only formulas for a modest price of $16.99. Its number-one mission is to fight frizz, and that it does in spades. Silicones in the formula protects strands from the onset of frizz by hydrating, taming and smoothing in one. This product is best applied on wet hair and a little goes a long way. It also comes in an Extra-Strength version, which is best suited to coarse, wiry and unruly frizz-prone hair (our Review Crew® gave it 4.5 stars!). Both formulas are suitable for colour-treated hair.
The reviews: “My naturally long, curly hair does NOT love the humidity. While I’ve tried to make big efforts in my haircare routine to try reduce it (the more damage done to your hair follicles, the more that the moisture in the air can lead to that frizzy, big hair effect) with a hydrating shampoo and conditioner (shout-out to the Pureology Hydrate range) and hair tools that reduce heat damage (I’ve found both the Dyson Supersonic™ and VS Sassoon Digital Sensor Hairdryer have made a huge difference!), there has still been room for error, and that’s where this serum has been a huge help. I don’t need to use it all the time, but during summer and on particularly humid days, I tend to finish off my hairstyling routine with a tiny amount of this around my part and hairline to control frizz and fly-aways. It does such a great job at managing those annoying strands without weighing down my hair!” Carli Alman, Beauty Crew’s Editor
“How do I go past the iconic John Frieda Frizz Ease Extra Strength 6 Effects Serum. This is an upgrade from the original, and really does repel those pesky frizzies like a dream (essential with another hot, humid summer approaching), whilst also protecting and prolonging the life of colour-treated hair (thanks to the addition of a sunscreen). This serum is a blend of silicones infused with aloe and vitamin E that leaves dry, defiant hair extremely supple, easy to manage and healthy-looking. It is a must post-straightening and for a sleek pony, or whenever you need to keep your updo under control....and remember to use sparingly (a little rubbed between the hands and smoothed over either wet or dry hair is plenty).” Jacqui, SUPERcrew member
“Frizz Ease manages to condition, define and de-frizz my hair, which can only be described as a miracle. The best part? No crunch, just sleek, soft hair.” Anne, SUPERcrew member
Cost: $16.99
