Best Conditioners For Smoothing Frizzy Hair 2021

By A Mystery Man Writer

Get your smoothest, shiniest hair yet with these editor-approved frizz-fighting conditioners.

Best Natural

Briogeo Farewell Frizz Smoothing Conditioner

Skin-care ingredients like argan and rosehip oils help transform dry, lackluster hair into smooth, healthy strands.

What They're Saying: I've only tried this conditioner once and I saw an immediate change with my hair. My ends feel so much softer and healthier. Typically with my hair I could comb my hands through and I would have some hair come with it or some of my hair would just break because of all the heat tools I used on my hair but now that doesn't happen. I highly recommend this.

Best For Fine Hair

Living Proof No Frizz Conditioner

This luxe formula is lightweight enough to not weigh your hair down but substantial enough to actually hold its own against humidity.

What They're Saying: I work outside in heat and humidity in the summer and this works great! I don’t use other products in my hair and this shampoo and conditioner duo used daily works great at fighting frizz!

Best Eco-Friendly

NatureLab Tokyo Perfect Smooth Conditioner

This J-Beauty brand's smoothing conditioner has ingredients that wouldn't sound out of place in your kitchen — quinoa and yuzu, for starters — to feed your hair all the nutrients it needs to shine. Plus, youkeep the bottle and buy refill pouches for an eco-option.

What They're Saying: This is the only conditioner I've tried in years that actually does anything. I've tried high and low [brands] but this actually leaves hair immediately silky. You don't need to use a lot either. It's helped make my extremely thick, straight hair less frizzy and more manageable. It smells really nice too. Would definitely repurchase. I trust this product line just from the conditioner..seems like they don't skip on quality ingredients.

Best For Color-Treated Hair

Drybar Liquid Glass Smoothing Conditioner

Can't make it to an in-salon blowout? Drybar's frizz-taming conditioner delivers smoothing, shine-boosting benefits fresh out of the shower.

What They're Saying: I’m naturally a dark blonde but I get highlights. The drawback is that my hair has lost some of that glossy shine. Liquid Glass conditioner gives me back that shine without weighing my hair down. My blowout now lasts longer without looking greasy.

Best For Thick Hair

IGK Thirsty Girl

If frizzy hair could talk, it would say that the thirst is real. IGK's Thirsty Girl conditioner is formulated with a (patented!) hyaluronic acid complex to deliver long-lasting moisture and shine.

What They're Saying: My hair is drinking this up! It rinses out easily and brings out the natural body in my hair without making it frizzy. Hair looks healthy and shiny and feels silky and strong!

Best For Damaged Hair

L'Oreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Rapid Reviver Deep Conditioner

Real talk: This may be the best $5 I've ever spent. Not only does one tube last a surprisingly long time, but my color-treated hair truly looks visibly shinier and smooth AF. (I also can't. stop. touching. it.)

What They're Saying: It smells great and a little goes a long way! It's inexpensive, but felt like a high-end conditioner. My hair was so soft and manageable. I kept running my hands thru it all day. It made my hair feel full and glossy. Loved it!

Best For Curls

Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Defrizzing Conditioner

Calling all curls: This humidity-proof conditioner restores shine and definition to dry, stressed-out strands.

What They're Saying: This product is great! I try to wash my every three days and after using the product, my hair feels extremely silk and frizz-free. My hair never feels silky and I love that it does now! I've used this product for about two weeks, and after day one my hair felt better than before.

Best Drugstore

John Frieda Frizz Ease Daily Nourishment Conditioner

Meet frizz's worst nightmare. John Frieda's fan-favorite drugstore conditioner contains silk proteins to hydrate and repair strands.

What They're Saying: Ok, so I'm a middle-aged guy who's had to deal with frizzy, rough hair ever since I can remember. It was quite manageable until it started thinning out. I found Frizz Ease a few years ago and have been hooked. Here's why. It won't weigh your hair down or make it too stiff. Once it dries and is slightly stiff, I run a wet comb through the hair and it shapes the hair perfectly, keeps it in place, and no more stiffness. This has been the best product I've found and plan to keep on using it, until I lose my hair, or John Frieda discontinues it, whichever comes first!
