i have wavy frizzy hair. i've tried it all. what has been working for me lately is washing it then letting it dry naturaly. the next day flat iron it. if it does tend to frizz rud a dab of lotion in your hands till its almost gone then lightly run your hands over your hair. try this when you don't have to leave the house incase it don't work for you. you don't need a hair disaster before going out. but yes i found it to be better not putting anything in my hair. no more frizz for me. hope this helps!!!!!!!
