Learn how to get rid of frizz with a step-by-step routine using Livingproof products. From washing to styling, discover tips for frizz-free hair.
Frizz is one of the most common hair frustrations, especially in humid weather. Whether you have naturally curly hair or straight strands, frizz can make your hair look dull and unmanageable. The good news? With the right routine and products, you can achieve smooth, sleek hair that lasts all day.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through a step-by-step routine to get rid of frizz, using Livingproof’s No Frizz line and other essentials. From washing to styling, you’ll learn how to lock in moisture, smooth the cuticle, and protect your hair from humidity.
Step 1: Start with a Gentle, Hydrating Wash
Frizz often starts with dry, dehydrated hair. When the hair cuticle is raised, moisture from the air can penetrate and cause swelling, leading to frizz. That’s why the first step in any frizz control routine is to use a gentle, hydrating shampoo and conditioner that smooth the cuticle and lock in moisture.
Livingproof’s No Frizz Wash Duo is specifically formulated to combat frizz. The shampoo gently cleanses without stripping natural oils, while the conditioner provides weightless hydration that helps smooth the hair fiber. Together, they create the perfect foundation for a frizz-free style.

- Use lukewarm water to wash – hot water can strip moisture and increase frizz.
- Focus the conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends, where hair is driest.
Step 2: Apply a Leave-In Treatment for Extra Protection
After washing, your hair is most vulnerable to humidity. A leave-in treatment adds an extra layer of protection and helps seal the cuticle. This step is especially important if you have thick, curly, or color-treated hair that tends to be drier.
The Restore Repair Leave-In is a great option. It not only helps repair damage but also provides a smooth, protective barrier that keeps frizz at bay. Apply it to damp hair from mid-length to ends, and you’ll notice easier detangling and a smoother finish.

- Don’t overdo it – a few pumps are enough for most hair lengths.
- Comb through with a wide-tooth comb to distribute evenly.
Step 3: Use a Styling Product That Fights Humidity
Styling products are your best friend when it comes to frizz control. They help lock in the smoothing benefits of your wash and protect your hair throughout the day. Look for products that offer humidity resistance and flexible hold.
The No Frizz Instant De-Frizzer is a must-have for touch-ups and styling. It instantly smooths flyaways and adds shine without weighing hair down. For a more polished blowout, the Style Lab® Blowout is an excellent choice – it speeds up drying time while providing a sleek, frizz-free finish.
- Apply styling products to damp hair for even distribution.
- If you’re using a blow dryer, use a nozzle and point it downward to smooth the cuticle.
Step 4: Dry and Style with Care
How you dry your hair can make or break your frizz control efforts. Rubbing your hair with a towel creates friction, which roughs up the cuticle and leads to frizz. Instead, gently squeeze out excess water with a microfiber towel or an old t-shirt.
When blow-drying, use a heat protectant and keep the dryer moving. Finish with a cool shot to seal the cuticle and set your style. If you prefer air-drying, apply a smoothing product like the No Frizz Instant De-Frizzer to keep hair sleek as it dries.
- Avoid touching your hair while it dries – this can disturb the cuticle.
- For extra smoothness, use a boar-bristle brush while blow-drying.
Step 5: Maintain Your Frizz-Free Look Throughout the Day
Even with a great morning routine, humidity can sneak in and cause frizz later in the day. That’s why it’s smart to have a quick fix on hand. A small amount of the No Frizz Instant De-Frizzer can smooth flyaways and revive your style without re-washing.
Remember, frizz control is about consistency. Using the right products and techniques daily will keep your hair in better shape over time. If you’re looking for a complete solution, consider the No Frizz Wash Duo paired with the No Frizz Instant De-Frizzer for a full routine.
- Carry a travel-size de-frizzer in your bag for on-the-go touch-ups.
- Avoid brushing dry hair – use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
Getting rid of frizz doesn’t have to be a battle. With the right steps and Livingproof’s frizz-fighting products, you can enjoy smooth, shiny hair every day. Start with the No Frizz Wash Duo, add a leave-in treatment, and finish with a humidity-resistant styler. Your hair will thank you!
