Our Take

This medium-hold styling product from the Frizz Control (green) range functions as a humidity barrier — applied after your leave-in and gel, it creates a final protective layer that resists the atmospheric moisture that causes frizz to creep in as the day progresses. Protein-free and suitable for all curl types, it's most valuable in UK conditions where ambient humidity is a year-round issue rather than a seasonal one. Works particularly well on second and third-day hair when frizz starts to undo the definition from wash day. Apply sparingly as a finishing step rather than a primary styler, and scrunch in rather than raking through.

How to Use

Apply to wet hair. For extra moisture, prime your hair with the Frizz Control Duo Conditioner. Rake through to ensure you are evenly coating all strands. Use the 'praying hands' method to smooth and seal. Select your desired styling method (scrunch, finger curls, or shingle) to enhance and define. Air dry or diffuse. Avoid touching your hair excessively while drying as this will create frizz. Once completely dry, scrunch to break the light cast using an oil or serum to make your hair soft and bouncy.
