Frizz has a knack for showing up uninvited – usually when it’s humid, hot, or you’ve rubbed your hair with the wrong towel. You might also just be prone to it. If you’re in the market for smoother hair, these five fast, Hershesons-approved hacks will smooth things out – and a couple might just surprise you.

1. Ditch the towel

First thing’s first: stop rough-drying your hair. Swap your regular towel for a microfibre one or an old cotton T-shirt. Gently squeeze – don’t rub. It keeps the cuticle smooth so your hair dries sleek and smooth, rather than frizzy.

2. Use your conditioner cleverly

Don’t just slap it on and rinse it off. Comb conditioner through in the shower to coat every strand evenly. Then, leave a pea-sized amount in your ends before you get out. That tiny bit of leftover moisture keeps frizz at bay all day.

3. Try the tin foil trick

Yes, actual kitchen foil. Once your hair’s dry, take a clean sheet and lightly glide it down the lengths. The static disappears, the frizz flattens and suddenly your blow-dry looks polished again. It’s like a mini anti-frizz wand.

4. Almost Everything Cream!

Almost Everything Cream is a frizz saviour. Warm a pea-sized amount between your palms and smooth through areas that need attention – it’s lightweight, hydrating and perfect for sleek looks.

5. Seal with a cool blast

Your hairdryer’s cool shot button isn’t just decoration. Use it to finish your blow-dry – it seals the cuticle and locks in shine. The result? Smooth, swingy hair that actually lasts the day.
