The spray coats my hair evenly without dousing any one area with too much wetness. After applying, my hair feels very moisturized, flyways are smoothed, and it softens up my curls nicely after I’ve slept on them.”

• Pros: Instantly smooths down flyaways and frizz. Adds incredible shine.
• Cons: Doesn’t reshape curls.

Glamour contributor Rachel Nussbaum found that trekking through subway heat and humidity midsummer didn’t help keep her curls intact. In addition to frizz, she was left with tangles large and small, and depending on how she slept, a combination of volume in some spots and flat sections in others. Her sweet spot for reviving tangled curly styles is Living Proof No Frizz Instant De-Frizzer, a dry-conditioning spray made from a blend of five oils and the brand’s ‘healthy hair molecule.’ After ripping apart the most serious knots, she sprayed down her hair with a cloud of the De-Frizzer. “My God, the shine! The difference was subtle but mighty. It helped the curls fall back into line, albeit larger and looser than usual. It’s like a dry oil spray, without the fear of overdosing. So while it won’t put curls back together, it’s a good option for frizz-free curls, and if you want to tamp down your flyaways,” Nussbaum says.
