Best anti-frizz treatment

I have long, thick hair. Whenever I wash it, it looks wild if I blow dry it myself or leave it. Can anyone recommend an anti-frizz product I can use to tame it?

I also have v thick, curly/frizzy hair about shoulder length. I use Kerastase Bain Magistral shampoo for severely dried out hair. (I buy a 1000ml bottle to save a bit of money and decant into a mini bottle). Then I use Kerastase Nutritive Masque Magistral as a conditioner. I usually wash my hair twice a week or every 4-5 days. Then, when it’s towel dried I use John Frieda Frizz Ease all in 1 serum for thick coarse hair. I need about 10 pumps & smooth it over my hair. I leave it (except the fringe & front bit which I attempt to blow dry), to dry naturally (although slightly tied back/clipped up). Then, I use 2 pumps of Kerastase elixir ultime oil, which I smooth over. Finally a spray of good old Schwarzkopf shine tonic. This all sounds a lot more complicated than it actually is but it does help tame it!

Probably the most effective is a brazilian blowdry. I've also heard good things about the Kerastase Bain Satin listed above but it is pricey. I went down the route of curly girl and in the process I learned a lot about my hair.

It's worth doing a clarifying shampoo now and then - Aveeno has a good one or you can make one at home.

I switched to non sulfate shampoo and conditioner and my hair loves it. It feels a lot less dry.

I also now use Umberto Giannini Blow Out Frizz creme on damp hair. I think the key with dry thick frizzy hair is that it can take a lot of product. I use about 4-6 10p sized amounts and work it through the layers. I've used the Frizz Ease serum - from reading above I clearly was never using enough as I only used one pump!

I've also had some success with the same method above - blow dry the fringe then wrap it into a low bun (twist and curl the hair then add a band) and leave to dry. I think this works with the hairs natural curl shape.
