While frizz is a friend to no one, it is a particular woe of those bestowed with curly hair. Experts say a specialised routine is essential for keeping curls in shape, with the following brands producing wave-enhancing offerings:
Not Your Mother’s
Those endowed with curly hair are well acquainted with frizz – it remains enemy number one when it comes to hair care. The Kinky Moves Curl Defining Hair Cream bids goodbye to frizz and fly-aways, encouraging curls with a moisturising formula of natural grape seed and jasmine.
Joico
This leave-in, rinse-out conditioner is focused on nourishing and rebuilding curls without weighing them down. Formulated for all curl types – it is recommended to be rinsed out for fine hair and to be left on longer for thicker and coarse hair types.

Jojoba oil is just as effective for the hair as it is on the complexion. label.m’s curl offering combines the ingredient with bran and sunflower extracts to create an enviroshield complex for curls, protecting against heat styling and UV rays.
John Frieda Frizz Ease® Dream Curls® Air Dry Waves Styling Foam
Styling foam is back with John Frieda’s innovative new variation. The Dream Curls Air-Dry Waves is a lightweight, non-sticky formula applied to wet hair that enhances natural curls and waves.
L'Oréal Professionnel
Curls that are soft, not stiff are a key demand for those with wavy locks. Using a blow-drying cream like Tecni.Art Dual Stylers Bouncy & Tender can help – the heat protector guards against frizz and promises to hold curls in place for up to 72 hours.
Nak
Perfect curls can be chemical-free, like NAK Hair’s Aromas Curl Crème, which promises to control curls without leaving them crunchy. The formula is free from sulphates and parabens, and is vegan friendly.
Macadamia Professional
With the oil revolution well underway, macadamia oil has found itself under the spotlight thanks to its multiple beauty benefits. This lightweight, non-sticky cream integrates the ingredient alongside argan and pistachio oils to bring moisture to dry, curly hair.
Macadamia Natural Oil
Another product to utilise the beauty benefits of macadamia oil is the Macadamia Natural Oil Reviving Curl Cream. The formula mixes the oil with argan oil and silicones to smooth down and lock in moisture for curly and wavy hair textures.
Marc Anthony True Professional
Rather like a multi-vitamin for hair, Marc Anthony’s Dream Waves, Beach Spray delivers a formula rich in hydrolysed silk protein and pro-vitamin B5 to locks. This helps to protect from sun damage, while boosting natural waves.
