3 Tips To Nix Summer Frizz In Seconds, From A Celebrity Hairstylist

It's a frustrating situation, especially if you have a moisturizing hair care routine on lock. But that doesn't mean you must dunk your head in under the shower spray and start anew or opt for a slicked-back pony or bun for the rest of the season—here, we tapped celebrity hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimons for his three frizz-fighting tips, so you can nix frizz and pesky flyaways in seconds: 

But if you're dealing with in-the-moment frizz, you can also use a leave-in on dry hair for some extra smoothing. "Leave-in conditioners are excellent because of the way they work—you don't have to rinse it out, which means it can be applied to both dry and wet hair and prevents your hair from being weighed down," says Fitzsimons. Simply warm up the product between your palms and glide them over frizzy areas to immediately lay the hairs back down. 

To immediately nix frizz, apply your oil du jour onto the toothbrush or spoolie and brush down any hairs that refuse to lay flat. A teeny oil goes a long way here: You don't want to glob a heavier product on precise hairs (especially if you have finer locks) or you run the risk of appearing greasy. 

Look, frizz is sexy. Scores of products aim to "tame" or "control" frizzy hair, but its rowdiness is precisely what makes it so beautiful. Frizz can offer texture and body to an otherwise lifeless mane, so who cares if you have a few errant hairs? Fitzsimons agrees: While there are ways to smooth it down if you're hoping for a more controlled look, "I say embrace your natural frizz!" he declares. 

Enhancing frizzy hair is an uphill battle, but in the summertime, it's an entirely different beast. With the extra humidity in the air, your strands may be even more prone to frizz and flyaways, even if you have ultra-hydrating hair products on rotation. Not to fret: Use Fitzsimons' tips to smooth those strands in the moment and on the go.
