9 Best Shampoos for Frizzy Hair, According to Stylists & Editors
Apr 2, 2025
Although my hair is typically straight, it’s no stranger to fluffing up and frizzing when exposed to humidity. That’s why the best shampoos for frizzy hair are key players in my hair care arsenal. They help minimize flyaways and keep my strands feeling soft and smooth as ever. Frizziness can be triggered by excessive dryness, which means that choosing dry scalp-friendly shampoos with hydrating ingredients (read: argan oil, shea butter, amino acids) can make all the difference.
Below, we spoke with hairstylists and Glamour editors for tips and recommendations on the very best frizz-defying shampoos. After putting them to the test, our top pick was the Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo because it kept our hair velvety and smooth, without a flyway in sight. We liked that the formula works on all hair types, detangles stubborn knots, and is sulfate-free. We also have options for curly and coily hair, plus picks suitable for those who deal with humid climates.

What triggers frizzy hair?

According to Rogerio Cavalcante, hairstylist and owner of Second Floor Salon in NYC, frizzy hair can be triggered by a few factors: excessive dryness, open hair cuticles, and high porosity (meaning the hair has difficulty retaining moisture) combined with humidity. “Too much humidity causes the hair shaft to swell by absorbing moisture, and weaker areas (like at the ends ) react more if the hair is dry, damaged or curly,” he says. When moisture is absorbed unevenly, this leads to frizz. “The hair cuticle (the outermost layer) lifts, making it look rough instead of smooth.”
