Professional hair straightening or de frizzing

My hair is really struggling with the hard water where I live ( I know this as just been on Xmas hols for a week with soft water and my hair was so manageable!)
My hair is so frizzy here - it's a really struggle - does anyone know of a non damaging hair straightening treatment that will last for a while?
One I can get done at the hair dressers?
My hair is frizzy rather than curly - at it's best there is sort of a messy wave - so mousse etc just makes it look awful.
Any help would be appreciated xx

Babyliss big hair is all I need to say - I have read all the reviews but couldn't get the concept at all until I got one for Xmas and its amazing!!! I have every kerastase product going,! Have tried all types of frizz ease, straightening, smoothing products known to man but nothing has transformed my hair like the big hair. It has taken me 4 goes at it and I am still not perfect but last night I went out with amazing smooth hair that looked like I had been in the hair salon having a professional blow dry- bouncy Flicky but smooth.....

Babyliss big hair is amazing! I have fair, frizzy hair and it makes my hair fantastically sleek and bouncy ......

Tresemmé are launching a home keratin treatment next month. If it works, it sounds like it'll be life changing for those of us who are wayward and fuzzy of barnet.

I heard of something called a Brazilian Blow out?

It's supposed to smooth your hair? I'm so desperate

Have done Keratin home treatment and had it done at hairdresser - same result both times. Completely smooth frizz free hair that takes about 5 mins to dry with little or no need to use straighteners. Amazing. But only lasted for 2 months. Google it, look on Amazon - you'll see.

Babyliss Big Hair is ok. I have a short bob now and it curls it under lovely. Nowhere near the same result as the keratin treatment though, believe me.

Keratin treatment is the same thing as the Brazilian Blow Dry btw.

The kit I used is Keratin Kits Brazilian Hair Straightening on Amazon now about £25 - I'm on mobile so linking to my app is tricky, but it should come up in search. You get enough for a couple of treatments.

I've not done it for while because it made my bob a little too straight and it wouldn't turn under nicely. But for longer style, it's ideal.

Keratin straightening did not work for me. Followed all the guidelines after having spent hours and a fortune in the salon with NO improvement. Angry

Tresemme hot air styler helps my hair. Doesn't rotate and solid bristles mean less tangling. That and loads of conditioning treatments.
