I want something to tame the frizz, and maybe nourish hair at the same time. Leave in conditioner? Hate, hate Frizz Ease. Don't want to spend a lot, or experiment for ages, so if you've had success with something, please do share....

I have wavye hair that is very prone to frizz. I wash and condition in the shower, but don't wash all of the conditioner out of the ends, or reapply a bit more just to the ends. Then I use boots curl creme while my hair is still soaking wet, just a small amount but not on the roots. I then wrap my hair up in a towel, and either go to bed like that, or wait an hour and then take the towel off.

Since I've been doing this my hair is looking the best its ever been, even going to bed with it wrapped in a towel results in frizz free waves in the morning, rather than a birds nest!

L'oreal Mythic Oil. You can buy it atvhair salon's, I think mine was about £12. It is lovely and really tames any frizz and makes any dry ends look glossy. Smells great also.

Living Proof's no frizz range. It is simply amazing.
All their products are ace. Pricey but worth it and the bottles last for ages.
You can get it at SpaceNK in the UK or Sephora in the US.

I used to have horrendous frizz, I started using a drop of serum on wet hair and actually blow-drying it rather than air drying! I use this from Boots. Rub in my hands, just the one drop, then run fingers through hair (I don't do my roots as I have greasy ish hair)

However, since I discovered the S&B forum I've entered a new world of products... today I'm using L'oreal Mythic oil for the first time and so far it looks amazing! I considered all the oils mentioned on here, argon and morrocan etc but Mythic was the only one I could find really cheap samples of on ebay!

Oh and I don't know if it applies to you but starting getting regular haircuts really helped, have to admit I'd leave it a year or two in between as I couldn't be bothered and it got worse and worse [bush]

I have wavy/curly shoulder-length hair which is quite fine and prone to frizzing. I can't brush or comb it because it frizzes and don't bother using a hair dryer for the same reason.
I used to use frizz-ease serum and frizz-ease wind down, which is a relaxer for curls, I found this worked well when I left my hair to dry naturally, but could flake. When my hair started frizzing after a day I would use a bit of frieda secret agent, which gives a lovely sleek look to curls.
However, now I just use Pantene repair conditioner (only one which gets out the tangles) and put argan oil on while wet then leave my hair to dry - it works the same way as all the products, but leaves minimal residue. I will put on a little more oil if I feel my hair is frizzing or tangling between washes and I find my hair feels much better when I go to wash it, much less dry.

Oh wow, thanks guys. I just cut all my hair off, because of my impatience with the frizz, but it still needs to be looked after as I grow it back and so I don't look like Thelma from Scooby Doo. I will try one of those oils then. They sound great. I also have grease-prone hair so thanks for the tip not to use it on that area and the drying overnight in towel is a good idea. I have also found going to sleep with damp hair reduces frizz. I don't own a hair dryer because of the tendency to dryness. I would often go 4-5 months between cuts, but even that is too infrequent for me...
