And with this summer being a super El Niño (aka record-breaking temperatures), you’d best add these to your frizz-fighting arsenal ASAP.

Promising review: "Drybar’s Final Call Frizz and Static Control Mist is a game changer for my hair! It really tames flyaways and keeps frizz under control, even in humid weather. I love that it doesn’t leave my hair feeling sticky or weighed down — just smooth and manageable. A few sprays go a long way, and it helps my style last longer throughout the day. It’s become a must-have in my hair routine for keeping everything sleek and polished." —Favorites on Amazon

Here's more from BuzzFeed writer Elizabeth Lilly:

"I have a very thick head of naturally curly hair and have put it through just about everything, including all kinds of hot tools, at-home dye kits, the gamut of shampoo and conditioner types, basically every dry shampoo and hair oil in existence, and just about anything else to try for a story for you dear readers. Lots of products have either straight-up failed, been meh enough for me to not recommend, or been fantastic but so costly that I feel guilty recommending them. Basically, a lot of stuff ends up in the trash or pawned off on my (grateful) friends when it isn't a fit for me. But THIS STUFF. This stuff has become my go-to for spraying on my wet hair and then blow-drying. Normally, I'd apply a heat protector and an oil treatment or leave-in conditioner before blow drying. But this 10-in-1 treatment takes the cake! Most of the time when I use it, I don't even need to finish off my hair with hair oil (I've been doing that as an essential hair step for years now). It's really that good! Here, I have freshly blow-dried hair from this post-shower. This brush is fantastic on its own, but this spray-on treatment has more or less doubled this brush's effectiveness. My hair comes out feeling softer, looking shinier and healthier, and stays looking good for days, which is especially great news because I wash my hair about every four days. 'Tis time for me to unload a bunch of hair products I now no longer need to my friends."

Promising review: "My hair gets very fluffy the second it detects a hint of humidity outside. I spray this in my hair after my shower and then give a quick mist before I leave for work, and my hair stays glossy and manageable all day. If this ever gets discontinued, I may just shave my head. It's that good." —Emma S.

Promising review: "I have the thickest, frizziest, curly/wavy hair ever, and I spend so much time straightening it. I am also the biggest skeptic when I see products claiming 'anti-humidity.' THIS PRODUCT RIGHT HERE IS A GAME CHANGER. I put it to the test a couple of weeks ago while on a beach trip and intentionally used it on the day we were going on a boat tour (it also happened to be the hottest, most humid day of our trip). Once the day was done, my hair looked almost the same as it did when I left the condo! This photo was taken [the review image on the left above] this afternoon after spending much of the day outside on a humid 90-degree (Georgia weather in May)." —Amanda

Promising review: "This works SO well. Used it as a conditioner. Left it on while I showered for 10 mins after shampooing. Reading the reviews and having hair that's up to my jawline, I used about, a guesstimate of a teaspoon. That was plenty enough. My hair came out all soft, shiny, manageable. AND, the most amazing thing is this — once I blew it dry using my diffuser, it came out with ZERO frizz, and fell so lovely and straight. NOT have a single flyaway! It's good thing too because got a short-notice invite to a gala so had to style it. Used my Bed Head A Wave To Go for the first time. If I had flyaways, this would have been a LOT harder to do the job! I have glorious, shiny, wavy, wonderful-to-run-your-fingers-into hair. LOVE! —GodWithin

"This is my replacement for the Macadamia Intense Repair Masque. The Macadamia mask is SUPER expensive and is not worth the money. This however, basically does the same thing to my hair and is much cheaper. I really recommend this to people who have dyed hair, dry hair, dead hair, frizzy hair, chlorinated hair. Just really damaged or damaged hair. It's really good." —Wanisha Siripakdi

Here's what former BuzzFeeder Ciera Velarde has to say:

"I have naturally wavy, almost curly hair (I would say I'm somewhere between a 2c and a 3a curl type), and as mentioned above, I have tried practically every product on the market designed to keep my curls looking their best. Nothing has even come close to this styling cream. I use this whenever I'm airdrying my hair — without it, I end up looking like a frizzy mess and have very undefined curls. I use this while my hair is wet (but soaking) and work it through my hair and scrunch a lot at the end. Gone are the days of really crunch, stiff curls — this cream is so lightweight, it doesn't even feel like you have product in it. I can run my hands through my hair with ease whenever I use this. That's me above on a particularly good hair day after using this Ouidad styling cream — look at those bouncy, frizz-free ringlets!!! To emphasize again, I love this stuff so much that if I were stranded on an island and could only have one beauty product, this would be it."

Promising reviews: "This styling cream is excellent for everyday curl care. It has a featherlight texture that spreads easily through the hair and instantly adds moisture without weighing curls down. My curls feel soft, hydrated, and noticeably smoother after using it, with much less frizz even in humid conditions. It enhances natural curl shape and adds a healthy shine while still keeping hair touchable and flexible, not greasy or stiff. I like that it works well on wet hair and layers nicely with gels or other styling products. Over time, it really helps curls look more defined, polished, and healthy. A great option for anyone wanting frizz control, moisture, and natural-looking curls in one product." —Julia gadalla

"Bought this for my recent trip to Costa Rica - 🇨🇷 for the locals they call this their “cold season” which for a New Yorker in January is a welcome change. Being on the Caribbean Side, with daily rain showers, the humidity is insane. This cream was Amazing! Truly - mother n daughter both with long wavy/curly hair… this stuff tamed the mane like no other. Very impressed. A little dab will do ya!" —AmandaR

Promising review: "This is one of those products that actually lives up to the hype — but only if you use it the way it’s meant to be used. When you do, the finish is seriously impressive. Hair looks noticeably smoother, shinier, and almost 'glass-like,' without feeling greasy or heavy. It gives that salon blowout look at home. The biggest standout is how well it handles humidity. It basically creates a light, invisible barrier around your hair, so instead of puffing up or frizzing out, everything stays sleek and controlled — even in heat or moisture. It also lasts longer than most styling products. You don’t need to use it every wash — more like every few washes — which makes it feel a little more worth it." —Marie Phillips

Promising review: "I have 2c/3a hair, medium to long length, and live in the South Central US, where there is fairly high humidity most of the year. It's taken me a few years to get used to skipping daily washes and minimizing my blow dryer use, partly b/c I never really knew how to style my hair on air-dry days. I'd end up with a frizzy A-frame shaped do, or a lifeless, gel-crusted mop.

I tried this brush after seeing it in a master class about hair. The woman with 3c used it to brush through small, damp sections of hair, then twist the section around her finger, let it loose, and then onto the next section. I tried this method, leaving my hair pretty damp and using a good curl cream applied throughout. I used the brush to also go back and gently give some lift from the root once i kind of had it placed where i wanted. I used a light hair spray as I finished each section.I've been doing this style once or twice a week for a couple of months now. This brush has made a difference in my confidence when working with my hair. Even in dead summer, the frizz is minimal, my waves/curls keep their shape without the necessity of crusty gel, and I have actual definition.Not only has it helped me style on air-dry days, but my day two style is easier to manage. I can use this to gently brush out the sections to give me a nice, soft wave without it immediately frizzing. If I brush it out the night before and put it up, it's even easier to deal with on day two. I don't exactly understand how the brush does what it does, but I'd absolutely recommend it for wavy hair folks that want to define and control. Besides liking the fact that it works, I like that the brush is lightweight, seems pretty durable so far, and is at a good price point. The handle is comfortable and the bristle pad gives. Just a great brush all around." —AM

Promising review: "This oil is amazing! It helps control frizz, adds a beautiful shine, and makes my hair feel so smooth. I love that it also works as a heat protectant and is free of parabens, phthalates, and sulfates. Plus, it doesn’t feel heavy or greasy. My hair looks healthier and more polished every time I use it. Definitely a must-have.❤️" —Elizabeth

Make sure your hair is wet when you use this, and apply liberally from roots to ends. Use once a week or twice a week if you have severely damaged hair.

Promising reviews: "I honestly wish this didn't work so well because it's so pricy, I end up using at least half the bottle to adequately saturate my long, coarse, curly hair. But it works SO WELL at reducing frizz and hair breakage and making my curls look shiny and healthy. I stopped using it for a few months to see if my hair was healthy enough that I could get by without it, apparently not! It's so hard to manage my curls without this product, back to using it at least once a week. It's very moisturizing for my dry hair, too. I use it as directed, and it works great." —Naomi

Promising reviews: "Lives up to the hype. I've heard a lot about K18 but was skeptical. It's getting warmer and more humid where I live, and my hair gets frizzy in high humidity, so I thought I'd give this a try. I used it this morning after my shower, and it really does work. My hair feels soft, is nice and shiny, and there is no frizz. It is lightweight and smells good. I only used four pumps on my hair that is just above shoulder length. It is a little pricey to me, but it seems to be worth it. I will likely buy this again, but maybe I'll just use it in the summer when my hair gets frizzy." —A. sparks

"I was skeptical, but I followed the instructions and my styled hair stays straight and frizz-free even on humid days!" —Amazon Customer

Promising reviews: "I wondered how some girls' hair always looked perfect. Was I the only one who had fuzzy, flyaway hair in the summer? Nope, I just didn't know the secret to keeping them tamed. This stuff works great! I needed to look polished for a party, and this did the trick. I will note, make sure to get the excess off the wand before applying it to your hair, or it may glob." —Mandikaake

"This stuff is a miracle, and I plan on buying more to keep in every bag/purse/etc. I have hair that gets very frizzy/curly in the humidity, and was searching for a solution — this stuff literally made my jaw drop. It works!!! It dries soft (unlike most hair sprays) and is easy to apply. And although the box did smell a little funny, the product itself doesn’t smell at all. So happy I found this!!" —Rebecca Thorpe

Promising review: "Surprisingly good at taming my hair even in humid weather, keeps my style looking neat and in place, really happy I found it." —samrich1106

And just a note that you shouldn't feel pressured to lay your edges! For more on this, check out "Just A Friendly PSA That You Don't HAVE To Lay Your Edges Down If You Don't Wanna."

Promising review: "Absolutely the best edge tamer on the market right now. It's certainly a gem that I am glad I found. It's hard to find in stores but again Amazon saves the day. I put as little or as much as I want. It doesn't leave any white residue or make your hair hardened. The hold lasts an entire day and I work up to twelve hours some days. I reside in a humid climate (Miami) and it works wonders...I recently went to the islands and was devastated that I ran out of this product. This leaves your hair looking moisturized and healthy looking not like others that leave looking greased up. I love this product and will continue to purchase. I'm so glad there's a family size available." —jothisorthat

It's recommended to use this product on the ends of your hair (be careful to avoid your scalp), two to three times per week on wet hair after you shampoo. You should use one dose if you have fine to medium-textured hair, two to three if you have thick to curly-textured hair, and add one extra dose if you have long hair. 

Promising review: "Transformative. This adds an extra step between washing and conditioning, but it’s a very short step that is totally worth the effort! My hair is wavy straight (2a), fine textured, but lots of it. I’m growing out my gray, so the last few inches of my shoulder-length hair still have residual color. The Lamellar Wonder Water is a watery liquid that feels warm in your hand. You squirt it on, massage it onto your lengths, avoiding the scalp, for about eight seconds, and then rinse it off and go on to apply your conditioner. My hair is noticeably silkier, and the colored ends are smoother. No frizz or flyaways, even during high humidity or rain. I’m hooked! It’s a great product!" —WandrWoman

"Over the years, I have tried many, many hair products to control frizz and leave my hair smooth, soft, and shiny. My hair is not oily and has low porosity. Humidity turns it into a bush! This product is fabulous! It leaves my hair soft and silkier. What a difference. It makes me feel like a new woman!" —Beth GT

Promising reviews: "This product slays humidity!!!! We live in Florida, where humidity is king. This is the first product I’ve used that actually made a difference. I used this line on my daughter, and this is my second favorite product. It’s amazing for dry styling. I used this in combination with the oil and loved the results!!" —Nikina M.

"This product is my new holy grail! Not only does it smell amazing, but it also keeps my hair from becoming frizzy in Houston's humidity. My hair still looked fresh and styled even after waiting hours in the heat at Vice President Kamala Harris' rally." —bri

Promising review: "I don't do product reviews, but this thing is pretty awesome. As you see, the before and after make a huge difference [above]. I set it to 450 degrees. Let it warm up a little longer to get good heat. I put on some beard oil throughout my beard. Then, slowly brush through a few times on each area. The result is a straight beard that stays straight most of the day. Even with wearing masks and Louisiana high humidity. 👍" —Ronnie Guillory

"I trim and style my husband's beard, and let's just say this thing has saved me from a good amount of curse words! It takes the frizz out and helps with the proper styling of beards! THANK YOU!" —destiny

Promising review: "I was super skeptical about Prose products working for me since I'd spent a lot of money trying nearly every other hair product on the market with little to no results. I have been absolutely blown away by the positive changes with my hair since using Prose. My once frizzy, tangled, thinning, blah hair is now full and bouncy, and the healthiest it's looked in YEARS. I have gotten so many compliments (including from my hairdresser!) on the condition of my hair and how amazing it's looking. I don't typically write reviews, but I honestly can't express enough how very happy I am with this product. The shampoo is super light, which made me worried it wasn't going to suds up how I like, but it gets super sudsy and leaves my hair feeling all the way clean." —Nicole B.

Promising reviews: "My conditioner has been great! I use about three to four pumps and run it through my hair from its mid-lengths to the roots. I have noticed greater curl definition and far less frizziness thanks to the conditioner." —Brielle W.

"Again, I've never had such defined waves without frizz. This is by far the best conditioner I've ever used. I can tell it was made just for me and my hair issues." —Elise P.

Promising review: "This has become my new favorite pillowcase! I’ve received and gifted this many times! It’s smooth, cool, doesn’t make my hair frizzy, and is comfortable! I love the blush color of this pillowcase I received as a Christmas gift! The fabric feels nice and soft. It’s one of the best gifts and great value!" —Yvette Jarrell

Promising reviews: "I really like the wide sprayer. I feel like I get a very even distribution. This stuff works so well on my almost 3-year-old!!!!! She had such beautiful, tight curls from one to two years old, but as they grew out, the curls were weighed down, and from rough toddler play, her curls turned wild easily. This stuff kept her hair shiny and curly all day, even during this humidity; there was zero frizz. I'm so glad I found this just in time to keep those curls perfect!" —Jolene K.

"This is a great product to use on my daughter's tangled hair in the morning. It smells great and allows a brush to be run through her hair easily. It also tames her hair on those humid days." —Mike

Promising review: "I am absolutely thrilled with the Kenra Platinum Blow-Dry Spray! This product has become an essential part of my hair care routine, and it truly deserves a 5-star rating.

First and foremost, the time-saving aspect is a game-changer. I can't believe how quickly I can achieve a salon-worthy blowout with this spray. It not only protects my hair from heat damage but also detangles, smooths, and softens, making the entire styling process a breeze.

The ability of this blow-dry spray to eliminate frizz is remarkable. Living in a humid environment, I've struggled with frizzy hair for years, but Kenra Platinum has come to the rescue. Even in the most humid conditions, my hair stays sleek, smooth, and frizz-free throughout the day.

The scent of the spray is delightful – not too overpowering, but just enough to leave a subtle, pleasant fragrance on my hair. I appreciate that it doesn't clash with other products or perfumes I may use.

What's particularly impressive is its suitability for medium to coarse hair. My hair tends to be on the thicker side, and this spray works wonders in taming and managing it. It doesn't weigh my hair down or leave it feeling greasy, which is a common concern with some other products.

In terms of versatility, Kenra Platinum Blow-Dry Spray has become a staple for both my everyday styling and special occasions. It provides the perfect balance of protection, manageability, and a gorgeous finish.

In conclusion, if you have medium to coarse hair and are looking for a time-saving, heat-protectant blow-dry spray that delivers on its promises, look no further than Kenra Platinum. It's a true game-changer in the world of hair care, and I wholeheartedly give it a well-deserved 5 stars!" —nachum zlotnick

Promising reviews: "Compact and easy to take with me when I travel. The powder dispenses easily and keeps my hair fresh when it’s hot and humid. This comes in a pack of two and I gave one to my sister. She loves it as well. Will purchase again." —Jeanie

"I have oily hair, so if I skip even one day of washing, my hair gets greasy, flat, and shiny at the roots. One day, I had to rush out for work and didn’t have time to wash my hair, so I tried using this. First impression: the powder is very fine and easy to blend into the scalp. I applied it with my fingers and brushed through lightly. Within minutes, the greasy, limp look was gone — my hair looked clean, fresh, and even had a bit of volume, just like it had been washed. The scent is light and pleasant, not overpowering like some aerosol dry shampoos. Best of all, there was no visible white residue as long as I blended it in properly. Honestly, this product is a lifesaver for busy mornings or humid days when your hair just won’t cooperate." —Jennie

Promising review: "I live in the Caribbean, where it's very humid. If I let my hair dry naturally, it ends up frizzy. I have bought many products to help me with my hair, and this one does it. No blower is needed, which is great with heat. Saves time. I detangle my hair and put it in my wet hair, and it's an all-day miracle." —Diny

Promising review: "This is my go-to styling creme! I live where summer is brutally hot and humid, and this product goes above and beyond taming my frizzy, slightly wavy, fine hair. I work it through my hair after a shower, twist it up for a few hours, then air dry. Leaves my hair feeling smooth and weighty and ready to hold its wave. Will buy this product forever!" —Syd

Promising review: "This stuff is the key ingredient to stop frizzy hair. After shampooing, conditioning, and leave-in conditioner, I apply a dime-sized amount (my hair is above my shoulders) to the middle to the ends. I style my hair and go about my day. Even on really humid days, my hair doesn't have frizz anymore. It's a miracle product." —Chelsey

Here's BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly's stamp of approval: 

"I got turned onto this stuff after some colleagues put it in stories and after trying just about every hair oil out there, I can assure that this is the good stuff. It's great for finishing off your look after heat styling (like with a curling iron or straightener) or helping your hair calm down post-blow-drying. I always keep a bottle in my medicine cabinet!"

Promising review: "I have straight, thick hair down to my waist, which I also color, so right after washing and drying the ends are more dry and frizzy than the rest of my hair, as it takes days for my natural oil to reach them. Also, I live in an area that can get very humid in the summer, and we all know what that does to hair (POOF!). I tried a few oils, which were no good, with the exception of coconut oil, which works miracles, but it’s really an overnight treatment, as its thickness makes the hair greasy af and it takes hours to absorb. Then, in a beauty article I read while researching hair products, it recommended Verb Ghost Oil. It was one of their affordable recommendations, so I purchased it and I’m now a loyal customer! I use one squirt every time after I wash my hair on the tips so they look smooth and moisturized. The viscosity and thickness is perfect! Thick enough to coat the hair but thin enough to spread evenly and absorb in minutes, no greasy look whatsoever. The aroma is also subtle and smells nice. After application, the ends of my hair look and feel smooth and healthy. I also apply on humid days when I’m going out, one squirt prevents my hair from frizzing and proofing." —Yo Adriennnnneeee!

Promising reviews: "I cannot believe it took me this long to start using actual hair products! I’ve gone most of my life just washing and brushing my hair and wondering why it always looked like I had been caught in a windstorm. No wonder it never behaved! But seriously, this product is a total game changer. I’ve always struggled with braids; they’d come out uneven, puffy, and fall apart halfway through the day. With this, I was able to do two neat little braids on both sides, and they actually stayed put all the way down to about an inch and a half from the ends. Before, I needed to stop around three inches because everything would just unravel. My frizz completely disappeared, and my hair looked smooth and polished, not wild and frizzy. I feel like I finally unlocked the secret to grown-up hair care, and now I can’t go back! This mousse smells amazing too, I love coconut everything!" —Customer Review

"I am constantly on the lookout for products to use in my naturally curly hair, and this one has been an amazing find for me. I am not a fan of anything that leaves my hair feeling heavy, sticky, crunchy, or greasy, no matter how well it holds the curl. This product has a delicate foaminess and dries, leaving my hair feeling soft. It's mineral oil-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free, silicone-free, and sulfate-free. It also smells great, and most importantly, it reduces frizz and enhances curl. It's a winner all around!" —SDS68

Promising review: "The Redken Frizz Dismiss Serum is a lifesaver for taming frizz and adding shine! It makes my hair feel incredibly soft and smooth without weighing it down. Just a small amount goes a long way in keeping humidity at bay, making it perfect for all hair types. It absorbs quickly, leaving no greasy residue, and gives my hair a healthy, salon-like finish. The scent is light and pleasant, not overpowering. I’ve noticed a huge difference in my hair’s manageability since using it. Highly recommend for anyone struggling with frizz and flyaways!" —Varun

Promising reviews: "Works great and smells great, too! It’s light and doesn’t leave my hair feeling greasy or weighed down at all — only soft, smooth, and frizz-free. I have long, average-weighted, straight hair. I absolutely love this leave-in treatment." —Lonna Brown

"It might be a bit spendy for some, but it makes your hair incredibly soft and fewer frizzies! Buy it, it won’t disappoint. For clarity, I have very long, curly hair that tends to frizz. I just add it to my towel-dry (still wet) hair and don’t need anything else to control the frizz or curls for the day. Smells amazing too!" —nicoleashley
