Check out our top 5 natural anti-frizz hair products »

Heat styling, humidity and hair type can all contribute to locks taking on a life of their own. But if you’ve ever left the house only to catch a glimpse of your fluffed out ‘do in a passing window an hour later, you know that frizz is not a strand’s best friend. The solution to frizz control is to manage strands, destroy dryness, and find a way to smooth flyaways—all without weighing hair down by applying too much product. These 5 natural anti-frizz hair products provide a variety of ways to maintain sleeker locks when humidity is getting the best of you.

Unless you have been blessed with shampoo commercial-worthy hair, you likely have to deal with frizzy flyaways on a daily basis. Nothing is more infuriating than spending 30 minutes blow drying your hair only to step back from the mirror and see the tell-tale fringe of baby hairs hanging between your part or flyaways standing at attention, ruining an otherwise sleek look. While smoothing serums and hair straighteners can help reduce some of the frizz, taming flyaways is actually one of the easiest things to do—once you learn the trick to it.

I met up with Morgan Roy, creative director at the Aveda Institute Toronto, to discuss common hair problems and go hands-on in order to fix them.

The temperatures are kicking into high gear right about now, spelling out trouble for our beauty, skin and hair upkeep. Melting eyeliner, filmy skin, limp strands—as much as we love summer, it can definitely do a number on our looks. But with a long weekend on the horizon, the odds of hiding inside during a hot day are slim to none. Our advice: don’t fight it! Instead of sticking to your tried-and-true makeup routine (likely created during cooler times) break out new formulas and looks that work with the heat. Read on to discover a few of our favourite finds that will help you look like a beach bombshell and not a melting mess.

I’ve got curly hair and have a hard time controlling its frizz in the winter. What can I do to keep my curls looking defined and smooth instead of frizzy and unkempt?
The reason you may find curls even more difficult to control in the winter is because there’s reduced moisture in the air—moisture is the solution to bouncy curls, and without it your hair may look frizzier than you’re willing to tolerate. Also, take a look at your shampoo. If it isn’t sulphate-free, it should be!
