“Once you get the hang of it, this is great for frizzy hair. Treat it like a serum on damp hair and then lock in with some oil on your ends if you need. A tiny bit patted onto dry hair gets the flyaways and frizz behaving without weighing down waves.” - Dawn.
“This is such an awesome product, I put it on my hair before blow drying it and my flyaways and frizziness are greatly reduced! I no longer look like I was electrocuted after blow-drying. It's not heavy at all and does not make my hair greasy. I will definitely purchase this again.” - Emma.

“I'm currently on a healthy hair journey and this product is a must for that! I add it to my damp hair before blow drying and it leaves the most gorgeous smell. I find that it's pretty lightweight, so you can afford to saturate your hair to ensure it's all protected. I then go in with the matching protected spray for that extra protection and they work together really well. Definitely recommend!” - Georgia.

Virtue Frizz Block Smoothing Spray reviews:
“This stuff is awesome! I have curly frizzy hair that I straighten. This one delivers and believe me I have tried them all. It does say that you need heat for the full benefits but I have also used it to leave my hair curly and dry naturally and you still get the frizz free benefits. My current fave hair product.” - Melpa.
“I bought this after my hairdresser used it on me, and OMG. It has transformed my home blow dries. I have thick, dense, mid-length hair which has had some highlights. It is wavy-curly and is very prone to frizz. I am ok at blowdrying my own hair but using this makes it look almost like a salon job! my hair is so smooth, sleek, SO SHINY, and my blow dries last a week (even with me running 6 days a week). Recommend one million per cent.” - Azzb.

Moroccanoil Frizz Shield Spray review:
“This is amazing, I have tried so many anti frizz products and this is the best by far. It helps so much in humidity and does not leave any residue or weigh hair down. It also protects hair from heat damage. I will never use anything else, I really hope they never discontinue this product as it's the only thing that actually works for my hair.” - Mazzy.

evo Smooth Lockdown Treatment review:
“The only hair product (not shampoo/conditioner) that I have EVER repurchased again and again. I have fine hair strands but a lot of them, so my hair looks really full and thick, and tends to be incredibly frizzy. This is the only thing that tames my frizz and I can often forgo heat tools after applying it to my clean damp hair, as hair dries beautifully. Doesn't affect my natural wave at all, just helps to keep it looking neat. Will definitely keep purchasing this!” - Amber Eve.
