Even the healthiest, undamaged hair can get frizzy. Many contributors to frizz include humidity, excessive heat-styling (use of flat irons, curling irons, hair dryers), excessive combing and brushing of dry hair, and chemical processing which changes the structure and integrity of hair, leading to damage and frizz.

Yes. The Frizz-Ease® line is safe for use on all types of hair. However, if the primary benefit that you are seeking is to improve and maintain the look and shine of your colour, it is recommended that you use a shampoo and conditioner – from the Colour Care Collection – which contain Light Enhancers™ that are comprised of illuminating minerals (tourmaline and citrine) and nourishing proteins (soy and vegetable) to help optimize the effects of light, making blonde, brunette, and red hair look its best.

Choosing the appropriate product line to fit your hair-care needs will depend on what your needs are. If you have frizzy, colour-treated hair and your primary goal is to preserve your colour and increase shine, you should choose a shampoo and conditioner from either the Sheer Blonde®, Brilliant Brunette® or Radiant Red® line. However, if your primary need deals with eliminating your frizz, you should choose a shampoo and conditioner from the Smooth Start®, Dream Curls® or Weather Works® line, depending on your specific style preferences.

Also note that products from the John Frieda® Collection can be combined to create a regimen that is customized to your specific hair-care needs. If your hair is colour-treated and frizzy, you may wish to shampoo and condition with the Sheer Blonde® or Brilliant Brunette® moisturising shampoos and conditioners in order to rehydrate and revitalize damaged, dry hair. To specifically target frizz, use the Frizz-Ease® Thermal Protection serum on wet or dry hair as it not only helps prevent frizz, but also protects against the damage and colour fading caused by heat-styling & UV exposure. 

Yes! Many people think that frizz only applies to having dry, coarse, wiry, frizzy hair. It is important to recognize that frizz is really a broad category incorporating everything from flyaways and split ends, to severe damage from over-processing and heat-styling that leaves your hair coarse and unmanageable. You do not need to have severely dry and damaged hair in order to benefit from the Frizz-Ease® line. The line offers prescriptive solutions to not only combat the varying degrees of frizz, but also to help prevent it.

Yes. There are many different weather and environmental conditions that cause frizz.  Weather can negatively impact both damaged hair and healthy hair, causing unwanted frizz. In high humidity/rainy conditions, excess moisture in the air will penetrate into the hair fibre, creating a moisture imbalance which gives hair a “mind of its own.” In low humidity or dry/arid conditions, deficient moisture in the air can cause hair to dry out, as well as create an imbalance of positive “+” and negative “-“ charges (static electricity) on hair. This imbalance can cause hair fibre repulsion or adhesion, which translates into frizz and flyaways or unmanageable, unruly hair. In sunny conditions, excessive UV light damages and weakens hair, making it more fragile and unco-operative and in windy conditions, excessive winds can make a perfect hair style look like a disaster.

The Weather Works® products were designed to shield hair from excessive style-ruining moisture.  They envelope hair with a hydrophobic (water fearing) barrier that allows hair to stay in balance.  The hydrophobic barrier shields the hair from excess moisture to help prevent the frizz and flyaways that can occur in high-humidity conditions. The Weather Works® line also helps “lock” in that essential moisture and protect hair from drying out.  The moisturizing and conditioning ingredients found in Weather Works® products protect hair from drying out and prevent static electricity, which can occur in low-humidity conditions. Sunlight can cause bonds to break in hair, leaving it damaged and in a fragile state; Weather Works® products were designed with a UV inhibitor to protect hair from the damaging effects of the sun. The line was also designed with weather-resistant, style-retaining polymers and conditioning agents that help keep hair soft and elastic to resist style-changing wind.

If you have moderately dry, frizzy hair, you should use the Original Formula serum on your wet hair. The Original Formula is a silicone-based styling aid used to smooth dry, frizzy hair, while delivering a layer of crystal-clear gloss for perfect style. If you have extremely dry, coarse, unruly frizz, you should use the Extra-Strength Formula on wet hair. The Extra-Strength formula offers a high-potency blend of silicones to dramatically transform coarse, unruly hair, to help achieve a polished and sleek look while helping prevent future frizz. The Thermal Protection formula has all of the frizz-fighting benefits of the Original and Extra-Strength serums, but it also protects against the damage caused by heat-styling and the sun. It is also unique as it can be used on towel-dried or dry hair. Its daily use smoothes hair and prolongs colour.

The Weather Works® line works best as a system and most effectively with the use of the Weather-Proofing® Style Sealant Creme, which seals split ends, tames and blocks frizz and flyaways and aids in styling manageability and control without being oily or greasy. The Style Sealant Creme is effective in both improving the smoothness of hair and fighting frizz and reduces the need for a serum. However, for certain types of thick, course, frizz-prone hair, the use of a serum may help in fighting and taming natural frizz.

The Frizz-Ease® serums are powerful frizz-fighting tools and, like all of the styling products in the John Frieda® Collection, should be used sparingly. It is best to start with a very small amount (one pump) and rub it into the palm of your hands before distributing it evenly throughout the hair. The amount of serum required will vary, depending on hair length and thickness and if the hair is dry, you should use less of the product.

Each Frizz-Ease® Serum has different benefits and is targeted with a different frizz-fighting purpose. If you have moderately dry, frizzy hair, you should use the Original Formula serum on your wet hair. The Original Formula is a silicone-based styling aid used to smooth dry, frizzy hair, while delivering a layer of crystal-clear gloss for perfect style. If you have extremely dry, coarse, unruly frizz, you should use the Extra-Strength Formula on wet hair. The Extra-Strength formula offers a high-potency blend of silicones to dramatically transform coarse, unruly hair, to help achieve a polished and sleek look while helping prevent future frizz. The Thermal Protection formula has all of the frizz-fighting benefits of the Original and Extra-Strength serums, but it also protects against the damage caused by heat-styling and the sun. It is also unique as it can be used on towel-dried or dry hair. Its daily use smoothes hair and prolongs colour. It is not recommended that you use two serums at once to avoid product buildup in your hair. However, you may wish to use the Original Formula, Thermal Protection or Extra-Strength Formula in the morning, and the Overnight Repair Crème Serum before bed.  The use of the Overnight Repair formula before bed will help mend damage and split ends while you sleep.  Your hair will feel soft and silky in the morning so that you require less serum use during your daily styling routine.

No, you do not have to wash out new Overnight Repair Crème Serum. Since the product is a lightweight crème, it absorbs quickly into dry hair the night before, leaving no greasy residue on your pillow or in your hair the next morning. However, if shampooing and conditioning are part of your regular morning routine, you will still see the benefits of the product even after it is washed out.

Its lightweight crème formula is non-greasy and absorbs quickly into dry hair so that no residue is left on your pillow.

Since the serum is a lightweight crème formula, it's not oily or greasy and it absorbs quickly into dry hair without making hair feel greasy in the morning. Note, amount of product to be applied will vary, based on each individual’s hair length and texture. For naturally oily hair, avoid putting the product near the roots and wash it out the next morning for silky feeling, healthier-looking hair.
