So, if that's what you came for, let's get right into it!

What are the best anti-frizz shampoos on the market? 

If you are looking for the best anti-frizz hair shampoo that you can find on the market, here are our top 3 recommendations:

1. NuMe Acai Shampoo

The power of plants wrapped into a wonderful shampoo, enriched with vitamins and omegas from the acai plant - a specie of palm tree native to eastern Amazonia, especially in Brazil. This palm tree is a true antioxidant powerhouse, and it's anti-inflammatory properties are great for both hair and scalp.

The NuMe Acai Shampoo is truly packing a punch with Omega 3,6, 9 and vitamins E, B and C, to protect against environmental toxins and deeply nourish and strengthen the hair strands. 

These nutrients make the hair more resilient, and less prone to breakage and frizz - which is exactly what we are looking for! In addition, acai berries are known for their moisturizing properties.

Proper hydration is key to preventing frizz, as dry hair tends to become frizzy more easily. You can combine it with the NuMe Acai Conditioner and the NuMe Acai Mask for maximum results!

2. NuMe Vegan Hydrating Tourmaline Shampoo

 

Among the top anti-frizz shampoos on the market is undoubtedly the NuMe Vegan Hydrating Tourmaline Shampoo, a one-of-a-kind hair product rich in 11 amino acids, tourmaline powder and hydrolyzed quinoa.

The amino acids in this highly nutritious shampoo supply the hair with keratin, improving its strength and elasticity, and making it less prone to become weak, brittle, and frizzy.

In addition, amino acids help maintain the hair's natural moisture balance. They can attract and retain moisture in the hair shaft, which is vital for keeping hair smooth and reducing frizz. Dry hair tends to frizz more easily, so proper hydration is essential.

On another hand, the tourmaline powder in this shampoo comes with its own unique properties. Made from the gemstone tourmaline, this powder has negative ion emission properties, which means that it helps to neutralize positive ions present in dry or damaged hair.

This helps seal and smooth the hair cuticles - Smooth cuticles reflect light better, making the hair appear shinier, and they also prevent moisture from escaping the hair shaft, keeping the hair hydrated and less prone to frizz.

3. NuMe White Truffle Shampoo

If you are looking for the best shampoo on the market to control frizz, we have another option - the NuMe White Truffle Shampoo. White truffle is rich in moisturizing agents like fatty acids and natural oils, which are excellent for moisturizing the hair.

Properly moisturized hair is less prone to frizz because it doesn't absorb excess moisture from the environment, which is a common cause of frizz.

White truffles also contain a good amount of vitamins, particularly B vitamins, which are known for their role in hair health. These vitamins can strengthen hair, improve its texture, and reduce brittleness, thereby reducing the likelihood of frizz.

In addition, the NuMe White Truffle Shampoo contains Orchid essential oils, which aid in repairing small breaks in the hair follicle, and keeping the cuticle sealed to avoid frizz.

How do anti-frizz shampoos work?

While each anti-frizz shampoo may vary in its ingredients and the way it works, most anti-frizz shampoos work in the following ways:

1. Keep moisture balance 

As we mentioned earlier, lack of moisture in the hair is one of the main causes of frizz.

These hair products often contain hydrating ingredients that maintain the natural moisture balance in the hair, preventing it from absorbing excess moisture from the air (which can lead to frizz).

2. Smooth out the hair cuticles 

When it comes to frizz, we are talking about hair that stands up or curls independently from the rest, making it anything but smooth. However, anti-frizz shampoos smooth out the hair cuticles - the outermost layer of the hair shaft.

They usually contain ingredients such as tourmaline, natural oils like argan oil, coconut oil and avocado oil, that have  the properties to smooth and seal the hair cuticles. The result is smoother and shinier hair - without the frizz!

3. Deliver nourishing ingredients

Another essential property of the best anti-frizz shampoos is that they are formulated to be nourishing, and provide the necessary vitamins, minerals, amino acids and proteins to the hair strands. 

Healthy and nourished hair is stronger, which also makes it more resistant to frizz. However, there is one thing to keep in mind - when it comes to choosing a shampoo, make sure to avoid ones with silicones, parabens and sulfates as they can lead to build up and weigh down the hair.

4. Reduce static electricity

Did you know that static electricity is a common cause for frizz? When hair rubs against certain materials (like wool hats, scarves, or even hairbrushes), electrons are transferred from one surface to the other.

Hair, being a good insulator, can easily gain or lose electrons through this friction. Luckily, anti-frizz shampoos usually contain ingredients that neutralize static, which reduces frizz and flyaways.

5. Use gentle cleansing agents

If you are looking for the best anti-frizz shampoos, choose one with gentle cleansing agents, such as all the NuMe shampoos we've mentioned above.

That's because plant-based shampoos are more gentle to the hair than other options on the market - they use cleansing agents that clean the hair without removing its natural essential oils (which can otherwise lead to dryness and frizz).

In addition, the NuMe shampoos come with pH balanced formulas - maintaining the right pH balance is essential for healthy hair. Many anti-frizz shampoos are formulated to be pH balanced to help keep the hair cuticles closed and smooth, which helps in controlling frizz.

Other anti-frizz products

When it comes to dealing with frizz, sometimes you need something extra to combine with your anti-frizz shampoo, and provide the most optimal result for your hair care routine. Here are some additional products we recommend:

NuMe Clout Control Anti-Frizz Spray

This revolutionary anti-frizz spray provides the ultimate defense against frizz and humidity, transforming your hair care routine and leaving your beautiful hair strands soft, smooth, and easy to manage. 

It forms a protective coat against each individual hair strand, providing a remarkable humidity resistance. Made with 16 amino acids, it deeply nourishes and hydrates the hair to enhance its growth and strength.

NuMe Argan Oil 

As we mentioned earlier, argan oil is one of the most powerful ingredients when it comes to the best anti-frizz shampoos on the market - however, it can also be used a standalone product to further enhance your results.

Made from the kernels of the argan tree which is native  to Morocco, this hydrating serum softens the hair without leaving it looking greasy.

It rapidly smooths, conditions, and glosses the hair to form a protective layer on your hairstyle, and significantly reduce frizz.

NuMe Sleeky in a Bottle

Speaking of great anti-frizz products, we can't forget to mention NuMe Sleeky in a Bottle. This shine-inducing finishing serum is made with argan oil, mineral oil and macadamia seed oil to tame flyaways and eliminate frizz without weighing the hair down. 

The result is satiny smooth hair that you will rock all day long!

FAQ

What are the most common ingredients in anti-frizz shampoos?

Anti-frizz shampoos commonly contain natural oils (argan, coconut), keratin, and amino acids to smooth and moisturize hair. Sulfate-free surfactants gently cleanse without stripping natural oils, and herbal extracts provide additional hydration and nourishment.

Does a shampoo stop frizzy hair?

Shampoo alone may not completely stop frizzy hair, but it can significantly help. Anti-frizz shampoos are formulated to hydrate, nourish, and smooth the hair, reducing frizz by maintaining moisture balance and minimizing damage.

For best results, use in combination with conditioners and treatments.

What shampoo ingredients should I avoid for frizzy hair?

For frizzy hair, avoid harsh sulfates (like SLS/SLES) that strip natural oils, high alcohol content which can dry out hair, and certain silicones that build up and weigh hair down.

Also, minimize artificial fragrances and preservatives, as these can irritate the scalp and further dry out hair.

What makes frizzy hair worse?

Frizzy hair can worsen due to lack of moisture, humidity, heat styling without protection, harsh chemical treatments, and over-washing.

Using products with sulfates and alcohols that strip hair oils, and physical damage from rough brushing or towel-drying, also exacerbate frizz.
