Styling and maintaining curly hair is completely different to straight hair. It behaves differently, it needs to be washed differently, conditioned differently, cut differently and styled differently. Choosing to swap to a natural hair care regime doesn’t mean you need to neglect your curls.

Giovanni are the world leaders in natural hair care and they certainly have your curly hair covered with their range of serums and styling elixirs to not only tame frizzy hair but to repair and nourish dry and damaged hair whether it’s curly or not. For those times when a pure oil like argan oil or coconut oil won’t control your frizzy hair, a specifically formulated anti frizz hair product will serve you well.

How does a natural anti frizz serum work

The main role of an anti frizz serum, and the time that it will ultimately work the hardest, is to stop humidity from ruining your hair style. For many people with wavy or curly hair, as soon as humidity strikes, excessive volume, frizz and uncontrollable flyaway hair takes hold. A traditional anti frizz serum will coat each hair shaft with silicone, in the same way a traditional conditioner will, after you’ have stripped all the natural oils out of your hair with a sulfate shampoo. In the natural world, we use sulfate free shampoo and silicone free conditioner, and the anti frizz serums are no different.

The best anti frizz serum for curly hair

For curly hair we love the products in the Frizz Be Gone range. There’s an Anti-Frizz Polishing Serum which helps to tame your frizz, but it’s also joined by two other products to give greater assistance to the hair type that needs help the most. Frizz Be Gone Taming Cream is a lightweight styling cream that helps to define your hair style without weighing it down. While you want to tame the frizz in your curls, you don’t want to flatten them down while you do it. For medium hold styling, the Anti-Frizz Hair Balm gives you a little more control. Use after shampoo and conditioner on either damp or dry hair. Experiment with the amount of product until you find what works best for you. Not all curly hair is created equal.

The best anti frizz serum for dry and damaged hair

Hair that is normally quite tame can turn frizzy if it’s subjected to wind or heat damage. For dry and damaged hair, look for something that’s going to nourish and repair damaged hair. The Ultra Moist and the Repairing Super Potion are our top picks along with using a regular hair mask to help repair the damage causing the frizz.

Do I use a natural anti frizz hair serum on wet or dry hair?

Anti frizz hair products can control unwanted frizz in fine hair, normal and thicker hair by using it on either wet or dry hair for most products. This means if you have just washed your hair, you can towel dry it, then apply the hair serum and style. It also means if you’re on a day where you’re not washing your hair, you don’t need to to dampen your hair first, simply apply the serum to dry hair.
