If I spend time doing my hair, I would ideally like it to look the same when I arrive at my destination lol. These are the products I’d reach for when humidity, frizz, flyaways, oily roots, static, or one slightly windy walk outside decides to ruin e...
Starting with the obvious one because I genuinely think this is one of those products where the hype makes sense. Dream Coat is heat-activated and creates a humidity-resistant finish, so this is what I’d use BEFORE a blowout when I already know the w...
WAIT because e.l.f. making a $9 humidity spray is exactly why I love drugstore beauty. This is another heat-activated option meant to help keep hair smooth when it gets humid, so I’d absolutely try this before immediately spending $30+ on an anti-fri...
This is the one I’d throw into a travel bag before somewhere hot or humid. It’s designed to protect against humidity and frizz while also giving you heat protection, and I LOVE that there’s a mini because you can actually test it before committing to...
The Shield Anti-Humidity Spray - amika | Ulta Beauty
THIS is exactly the kind of product I wanted on this list. It’s not another product you have to remember before styling, it’s for when your hair is already done and the frizz shows up anyway. I’d use the tiniest amount over dry hair to smooth everyth...
John Frieda Frizz Ease Secret Weapon Touch-Up Hair Styling Cream Anti-Frizz Treatment - 4 fl oz
Okay THIS is one of my favorite finds. It basically looks like mascara for your hair, you use the little wand to smooth down flyaways without coating your entire head in hairspray. Perfect for the little hairs around your part or hairline that someho...
My under-$10 pick for slick backs and stubborn flyaways. I like a wax stick because you can put the product exactly where you need it instead of spraying half a can of hairspray around your head and hoping for the best. If your slicked-back bun start...
Got2B Hair Wax Stick
The elevated version of the flyaway wand. I love the little mascara-style applicator because you can fix individual baby hairs and flyaways without flattening the rest of your hair or getting product everywhere. This is exactly the kind of thing I’d ...
Good Behavior Frizz and Flyaway Lightweight Gel Hair Taming Wand - IGK | Ulta Beauty
For when your problem is less little flyaways and more that your ends start looking dry and puffy. I love that this is under $8 and is meant to smooth without leaving that super-heavy greasy feeling. I’d use a tiny amount through the ends after styli...
Not Your Mother's All Eyes On Me Frizz Defense Hair Oil, 2.5 fl oz
This one is so interesting because it’s basically a dry conditioning spray for hair that has ALREADY gotten frizzy. So instead of wetting everything down or completely restyling, you spray it onto dry hair to smooth and soften it again. Definitely a ...
No Frizz Instant De-Frizzer Dry Conditioning Spray - Living Proof | Ulta Beauty
Another really good drugstore alternative if you want the smooth blowout effect without the prestige price. This is made for frizz control in high humidity and also gives heat protection, so you’re getting multiple jobs out of one $10 product. I LOVE...
Marc Anthony Grow Long Anti-Frizz Ultimate Blowout Spray: Heat Protection, Smoothing, Shine Enhancing
Humidity is not my only enemy, oily roots deserve representation too. I specifically wanted a powder dry shampoo on this list because sometimes aerosol dry shampoo feels like I’m spraying half the bottle into the air instead of onto my actual scalp. ...
Dry Shampoo Powder Pimprod2033221
I had NO idea Batiste made a non-aerosol powder version until I found this. Same idea as the classic dry shampoo, but this is ultra-concentrated, travel-friendly, and you can put it exactly at the roots instead of creating a cloud of dry shampoo arou...
Original Dry Shampoo Powder - Batiste | Ulta Beauty
Another one for the slick-back girls, but I like that this is small enough to genuinely keep in your everyday bag. Swipe it over flyaways, edges, or the little pieces that start escaping your bun halfway through the day. Very much a bathroom-at-dinne...
TRESemmé Instant Fix Styling Stick for Fixing Flyaways & Control Frizz Stylist, A-List Collection Developed & Safe for All Hair Types, 1.05 oz
This is such a good budget multitasker. You’re getting anti-frizz, heat protection AND UV protection in one bottle for under $10, which is exactly what I want when I’m trying not to turn getting ready into a 14-product routine. I’d use this before he...
Saving this for last because it solves TWO seasonal problems: frizz when it’s humid and static once the air gets dry. I’d use this as the finishing step when my hair is already styled and just needs to behave. This is exactly the kind of product that...
Drybar Final Call Frizz & Static Control Anti Frizz Hair Spray Travel Size, 1.7 fl oz
