THE 7 BEST HAIRSTYLES FOR FRIZZY HAIR

We’ve all been there - whether it’s humidity, rain or you’ve been over-brushing, frizz has a habit of popping up when it’s least convenient.

However, frizzy hair doesn’t have to cramp your style. Whether you’re heading to brunch or the boardroom, these frizz-friendly hairstyles work with your texture, not against it, so you can forget about frizz.

Before trying one of our frizz-defying hairstyles, remember the three golden rules of tackling frizzy hair:

• Don’t pull, tug or aggressively brush your hair into a style - you’ll only make the frizz worse!
• Serum’s your frizz-fighting on-the-go friends - but always add a small amount at first. You can add more later if you need to.
• If your hair’s refusing to play ball and resisting styling, a silk headband or hair wrap is your best bet.

Messy top knot

The OG frizz-disguising hairstyle, a messy top knot is perfect for days when your hair’s determined to puff up - no matter what you do. A go-to for busy mornings or second-day hair, the messy top knot is a universally-loved way to stay looking presentable while fighting frizz.

Top tip: Avoid brushing your hair too thoroughly before styling to a) minimise frizz and b) use some of your hair’s natural volume to make sure your bun looks structured and ‘undone’. Feel free to add some face-framing strands if you have minimal frizz at the front - a dab of our lightweight hair serum can help de-frizz any troublesome bits.

Loose braids

The ultimate frizz-taming multitasker, loose braids are as practical as they are pretty. By gently gathering your hair into one or two soft plaits, you can keep texture under control while still showing off your natural wave or curl pattern. This relaxed style works especially well for slightly damp hair, helping it to set a more uniform shape as it dries.

Top tip: Don’t pull too tight while you’re creating your braids - tight braids can cause tension and highlight frizz along your hairline. For a smoother finish, try prepping with our Curl Defining Crème to soften and define as you braid.

Half-up, half-down

For those days when you can’t decide between up or down, the half-up, half-down style gives you the best of both worlds - keeping frizz-prone hair on your crown under control while letting the rest flow free. It’s ideal when you want a little structure without sacrificing volume or movement.

Top tip: Focus on smoothing the top section before clipping or tying back - this is where frizz is most noticeable. A light mist of our Intense Hold Hairspray will help keep your style in place without stiffness or crunch.

High ponytail or pineapple updo

This forgiving, frizz-disguising style is a favourite for a reason. Whether it’s a classic high pony or the looser, fluffier pineapple updo, lifting your hair off your face and neck gives instant polish while keeping frizz in check. It's especially brilliant for curls and coils, preserving definition while reducing tangling.

Top tip: Gently gather your hair at the crown with a soft scrunchie or silk tie to avoid breakage and making frizz worse.

Double knot

Chic, edgy and secretly low-effort, the double knot is a genius solution for frizz that just won’t quit. By tying your hair into two stacked buns, you can disguise puffiness while still creating a head-turning style that feels on-trend.

Top tip: Embrace a little imperfection - this look works best when it's not too polished. A few flyaways can add character, but if needed, smooth them out with a touch of Frizz Ease Original Serum for sleekness where you need it.

Slick ponytail

Minimal effort, maximum impact. A slick ponytail is the ultimate frizz-fighting look when you need something sharp, fast, and effective. Perfect for humid days or high-pressure moments, it keeps every strand in place. It’s a better fit for naturally-straight hair, or hair that has minimal frizz and will be responsive to smoothing treatments.

Top tip: Start with damp hair and apply a generous spritz of 3 Day Straight Straightening Spray to help create that glassy finish. Use a bristle brush to smooth the hair back and tie tightly at your preferred height.

Messy ponytail

A tousled take on the classic, the messy ponytail is a laid-back lifesaver when you want something quick and easy that still looks intentionally styled. Ideal for second-day hair or when you’re embracing your natural texture, it leans into volume rather than fighting it.

Top tip: Instead of brushing your hair out, gently rake it back with your fingers to keep that undone texture. For a little lift and long-lasting shape, mist through with our Wave Revitalising Spray before tying up.
