Professional-grade keratin straightening system at home

[WorldWideWords]

My hair is driving me utterly insane! The front bits are always frizzy on the top layers and look messy no matter what I do. I’d really rather not fork out for salon treatments (time and money both tight), but I don’t mind spending a bit on a decent product if it actually works. Has anyone found something good for home use that keeps the frizz under control?

For reference, I am menopausal and have fine highlighted hair, used to have lots of it, now I don't. It's got a bit of a wave to it but in reality it just looks messy. Please do not suggest curly girl method, no-poo, etc, I am way passed all that.

as someone who has been there; just save your money until you can fit in a salon visit, the disappointment of the home treatment not working after so much effort made me feel worse than the frizz did

I tried one - I think it was called Owow. It didn't work.

i have instead switched to Merwave and embraced my natural texture and had a lot of compliments. I could never get it to be anything other than frizzy before but now have nice defined waves.

I tried Answr and it does work for a while. The first couple of bottles had a terrible smell whenever washing my hair but the last bottle seems better.
I need to redo my hair actually, this post has reminded me!
I use a teeny bit of coconut oil in my hair as well (REALLY tiny or hair just looks immediately greasy) and that helps in between treatments.
You do have to blow dry your hair after every wash - air drying just means it goes back to frizzy looking.

Ive been using this for a few years now, approx every 6 months, it's excellent at smoothing but without making your hair too flat

It’s posdibly not what you are looking for but I find glaze really good it seems to give my fine hair weight and body. Like I’ve had an expensive blow dry rather than fine and frizzy. There is a cheaper version by clairol which is decent but I prefer the clear one by glaze. Lasts about seven shampoos per application, I can get three uses per bottle fir my just past collarbones hair.
