The best shampoos for frizzy hair can make a world of difference for anyone trying to manage frizz and flyaways. Just take it from San Diego-based hairstylist and Phenix Salon Suites founder Gina Rivera, who tells Allure, « Shampoo is definitely the first item needed to combat the frizzies. » However, finding the best products for your frizzy hair can feel overwhelming — especially if you’re unsure where to start.
According to Shelly Aguirre, a hairstylist at Maxine Salon in Chicago, frizzy hair is often dry, which is why it’s essential to keep your hair moisturized. With this in mind, New York City-based hairstylist and colorist Paul Labrecque of Paul Labrecque Salon and Skincare Spa tells Allure that the best shampoos for frizzy hair are those that target dryness and contain « naturally moisturizing ingredients that will smooth the hair shaft but not overly weigh the hair down. »
More specifically, you’ll want to look for hair products that contain natural oils (such as argan and coconut, for example), shea butter, and aloe vera, all of which, per Labrecque, « help to smooth and tame frizz while gently hydrating and cleansing the hair. » Conversely, every hair pro we spoke to advised steering clear of shampoos with sulfates, which can strip your strands of essential oils and dry them out (which, spoiler alert, is a big no-no when it comes to wrangling frizz.)
