Sick of my frizzy hair!

I have naturally very thick (yet fine) curly, dry hair. It's hard to look after.
I'm a my wits end trying to get rid of the frizz. Help!
Any recommendations please? Miracle hairdryers, shampoos, oils, gel etc - anything which has helped to banish the frizz?
Thank you!

Organic kukili conditioner is amazing for frizzy hair and perfect for plopping for the children I've just started using ultimate blends oat milk that seems to make a huge difference

Trouble is with not touching it while it dries is that hair takes hours to dry, I'd end up going to work with wet hair.

Watching with interest.
What is plopping?
I have recently been using John Frieda tamer and that's been great although my hair feels a bit lank. Maybe that's what it'd be like if it wasn't curly Confused

This is the BEST thing for frizzy hair - Brazilian Keratin Treatment - Home Hair Straightening Kit 100ml. It's brilliant. Yes, it takes a while to do, I'm rubbish at hair styling but even I can do it. The results last around 3 months. You need to make sure you use shampoos without sodium chloride (salt) afterwards, and conditioners, although almost all conditioners don't have salt in anyway. The company produces a shampoo which is great (look on Amazon), but if you look hard you can find salt-free shampoos in the high street (try Lush). This is the only product that has ever worked for me and several other people I know are also converts.

That fries your hair then coats it in alcohol 😳

I've recently discovered Orofluido and love it for de-frizzing my hair. It's got quite a strong smell (a bit like Gaultier's Le Male, which I love, but some might hate) but it is amazing and leaves my thick, frizzy hair sleek and beautifully conditioned.

I've stopped using products with keratin and sulphates.

I use either Pureology or Living Proof (co-owned by Jennifer Aniston) products (shampoo, conditioner and styling cream). I also sometimes use the Liz Earle hair oil (amazing) and have a Parlux.

I have a huge amount of hair, but the individual hairs are not very thick. It's wavy rather than curly but has a tendency to frizz, especially at the back. When it grows it seems to grow out as much as down. Not sure what style your hair is but I now have the length of my hair cut every other time only, and in between I have weight taken out of the back. This has made a huge difference to the manageability of my hair and I can't believe no hairdresser has ever recommended it before! (Hair is shoulder length but am growing it so this approach is helping with that too).
