Smooth Sexy Hair: Frizz-Controlling Tricks

When you're in the shower

Rinse out your conditioner with cold water. Yes, brrr, but chilly H2O smoothes hair, says Matt Fugate, a hairstylist for Sally Hershberger Downtown salon in New York City. Rather than rub hair dry with a rough towel, squeeze it with soft paper towels or an old T-shirt. (Less friction means less frizz.) Then apply an oil-based serum, like Organix Macadamia Oil Dry Styling Oil ($8, drugstores). To make it more effective, don't just dab it on, Hawkins says. Apply the serum as evenly as possible by diluting it: Put two drops in one hand, run the other under the faucet, rub them together, and then rake both hands through two-inch sections of hair.
