John Frieda Frizz-Ease 3-Day Straight

This frizz-reducing straightening spray smooths hair for up to three days (or until your next shampoo).

How It Works: Polymers in the spray protect hair as you blow-dry or flatiron it into submission, sealing in hydrolyzed keratin and silicone. These ingredients coat each strand, blocking the environmental moisture that leads to frizz.
