Some days frizz wins the first round. The air turns humid, your waves dry in five directions, and the sleek look you planned is suddenly off the table. On those days a good shape does more than any extra product.

We picked nine styles that work with frizz instead of against it. They start with a bun you can twist up in the car mirror and end with styles you set at night and wake up to. None of them needs a hot tool.

The short answer

The easiest styles for frizzy hair gather everything into one shape, like a sleek low bun, a claw clip twist or a loose braid. For curls, a pineapple keeps definition overnight, and heatless curls give you soft waves with zero heat. Smooth on a little leave-in or gel first and any style holds longer.

Hairstyles for frizzy hair, from easiest up

Nine ways to wear it

The best hairstyles for frizzy hair hide the halo at the crown and give your lengths a shape to hold. We ranked these easy hairstyles for frizzy hair from grab-and-go styles to the ones you set ahead of time. If you want to know why the frizz shows up in the first place, start with the top reasons you get frizzy hair.

  1. Sleek low bun

    The Five-Minute Sleek Bun

    When5 minutes

    Of all the 5 minute hairstyles for frizzy hair, this is the one we reach for first. Smooth a little leave-in through your lengths, brush everything back into a low ponytail at the nape, then twist it into a coil and wrap it around its base.

    Pin it or tie it with a soft band. Then sweep the Pequi Flyaway Gel wand along your hairline to tuck in baby hairs. Frizzy ends disappear inside the bun, so it works even on third-day hair.

    • Works on dry or slightly damp hair
    • Snug at the nape, never tight at the temples

  2. High ponytail with a smooth crown

    A Polished High Ponytail

    When10 minutes

    A high pony lifts frizz off your neck and shows off your length. Brush a little styling gel over the crown, gather your hair at the top of your head, and smooth the surface once more before you secure it.

    Aim for snug, not tight. Dermatologists list ponytails pulled back tightly among the habits that damage hair, and they suggest covered bands made especially for styling hair.

    Our Pequi Styling Gel was made for this kind of slick pony look, without the sticky residue.

    • Brush the crown while the gel is still wet

  3. Claw clip twist

    The One-Twist Claw Clip

    When2 minutes

    This is the fastest style on the list and one of the best hairstyles for thick frizzy hair, because a big clip holds a lot of hair without pulling. Gather your hair as if for a low ponytail, twist it upward against the back of your head, and fold the ends over the top.

    Slide a large claw clip in over the twist and let the ends fan out. Frizz reads as texture here. Messy ends look intentional.

    • Choose a clip wide enough for all your hair

  4. Loose side braid

    A Soft, Loose Side Braid

    When5 minutes

    Braids are a classic among cute hairstyles for frizzy hair, because a little fuzz along the plait just looks soft. Sweep everything over one shoulder, braid loosely and tie the end with a scrunchie.

    Gently tug the edges of each section to widen the braid, and leave two face-framing pieces out. Rub a drop of hair oil between your palms and press it over the surface to calm any fuzz.

  5. Pineapple updo for curls

    The Curl-Saving Pineapple

    WhenDay or night

    When it comes to hairstyles for curly frizzy hair, the pineapple does the most for the least effort. Flip your head forward, gather your curls at the very top of your head, and tie them loosely so they spill over like the leaves of a pineapple.

    Your curls are not crushed or stretched, so they keep their shape and the frizz stays calmer. Wear it as a daytime updo, or sleep in it and shake your curls loose in the morning. A satin scrunchie is the right tie here, because it holds gently and helps minimize dents.

    • Tie it loosely at the very top
    • Great for second-day curls

  6. Half-up top knot

    A Half-Up Top Knot

    When5 minutes

    A half-up knot tucks away the frizziest part of most heads, the crown, while the rest of your hair stays down. Section the top half from temple to temple, twist it, and wrap it into a small knot with a soft band.

    Pull a few pieces loose at the front to soften the look. It suits straight, wavy and curly hair, and it buys you a day or two between washes.

  7. Silk scarf wrap

    A Silk Scarf Headwrap

    When3 minutes

    On the frizziest days, the quickest fix is to cover the frizz in something pretty. Fold a silk or satin square scarf into a wide band, lay it over your hairline, and knot it at the nape, under your hair or over a low bun.

    Smooth fabric glides over hair instead of roughing it up, so the same scarf can come to bed with you. It also adds a hit of color on a gray, rainy morning.

  8. Heatless curls overnight

    Soft Curls While You Sleep

    WhenOvernight

    Heatless curls give you bouncy, glossy waves with zero hot tools, which is good news for frizz-prone hair. On damp, not dripping, hair, wrap two sections around a soft fabric rod or a robe tie, twisting each one away from your face, and secure the ends with scrunchies.

    Sleep on it, unwrap slowly in the morning, and separate the curls with your fingers rather than a brush. More heatless methods, from braids to twists, are in the overnight section below.

    • Hair should feel damp, not wet
    • Finger-comb only, never brush

  9. Wet-set waves

    Air-Dried, Wet-Set Waves

    WhenAfter washing

    Wet-setting means you shape your hair while it is wet and let it dry in place, so it dries into a shape instead of puffing up. Blot with a microfiber towel, smooth in leave-in conditioner, then braid loosely or twist into a bun.

    Leave it until it is completely dry, then undo it and shake out the waves. This is the same three-step method behind our Guava Air Dry Kit: a microfiber towel, the Guava Leave-In Conditioner, and a braid tied with a satin scrunchie.

    • Wait until it is fully dry to undo it

Overnight hairstyles to prevent frizzy hair

The best overnight hairstyles to prevent frizzy hair do two jobs at once. They keep your hair from rubbing against the pillow, and they set a shape while you sleep.

A cotton pillowcase can tug at your hair every time you turn over. By morning, that rubbing shows up as a frizzy halo. Any style that gathers your hair and keeps it still, like a loose braid, a pineapple or a satin wrap, cuts that friction way down. These are also the easiest no heat hairstyles for frizzy hair, because the work happens while you sleep.

Heatless curls are the overnight style most people want to master, and they are simpler than the videos make them look. You need damp hair, something soft to wrap it around and a gentle way to hold the ends. Pick the one that suits your length.

Method How it works Best for Morning look
Robe-tie wrap Wrap two sections around a soft tie laid over your crown Long straight or wavy hair Big, bouncy curls
Braids Two to four loose braids on damp hair Any length or texture Even, crimped waves
Twists Twist small sections and tie or pin the ends Curly and coily hair Defined, stretched curls
Scrunchie buns Twist sections around scrunchies into small buns Shoulder-length hair Loose, beachy curls
  • Start with damp hair. Soaking wet hair will still be wet at sunrise.
  • Smooth in leave-in conditioner so every strand dries soft.
  • Wrap or braid snug at the ends and loose at the roots.
  • Tie the ends with a satin Ceremonia Scrunchie, which helps minimize dents.
  • Unwrap slowly in the morning and break up the curls with your fingers.

Do

  • Sleep on a satin pillowcase or in a silk scarf
  • Keep the wrap snug at the ends
  • Wait until hair is fully dry to unwrap
  • Finish with a drop of leave-in on the ends

Avoid

  • Going to bed with dripping wet hair
  • Tight elastics that pull at the roots
  • Brushing your curls out in the morning
  • A tight bun piled on the crown

Tip: Dry, fuzzy ends in the morning are an easy fix. Our Guava Leave-In Conditioner works on dry hair too, so press a dime-sized amount into the ends.

Products that hold a frizzy hairstyle

Good frizz control starts before the style. A smooth, hydrated base holds a shape far longer than a heavy layer of gel on top.

Product What it does When to use it
Guava Leave-In Conditioner Hydrates and smooths frizz On damp hair, before any style
Guava Rescue Spray Detangles and protects from heat and UV Before brushing or hot tools
Pequi Styling Gel Slick looks and curl definition, no sticky residue Buns, ponytails, curls
Pequi Flyaway Gel Tucks in flyaways and baby hairs Hairline, on the go
Guava Hair Oil Silicone-free shine and frizz finish Last step, on dry lengths
The Ceremonia Scrunchie 100% satin tie that minimizes dents Braids, buns, overnight

If you buy only one thing, make it a leave-in. Frizz often starts with thirsty hair. Our Guava Leave-In Conditioner hydrates with Tamarind while Avocado combats frizz, so every style on this list starts from a calmer base.

For the finish, a few drops of our Guava Hair Oil go a long way. In a clinical study, it delivered a 2.5x reduction in frizz after one week of daily use. Browse the full frizz control collection to build a small kit around your favorite styles.

Frizzy hairstyle questions

What you ask us most

The questions we hear most from our frizzy-haired community, answered short.

What hairstyle works best on thick frizzy hair?

A low bun or a claw clip twist, because both hold a lot of hair without pulling at the scalp. Braids come a close second and often look better as the day goes on. Choose a large clip or an oversized satin scrunchie, and smooth a little leave-in or gel through your lengths first so the surface stays sleek.

How do you keep frizz down on rainy days?

Pick a style that keeps your hair gathered, since loose strands pick up moisture from damp air and puff up. The best rainy day hairstyles for frizzy hair are braids, a sleek low bun or a scarf wrap. Apply leave-in on damp hair before styling, smooth gel over the surface, and keep a flyaway wand in your bag for the hairline.

Are no-heat styles better for frizzy hair?

For most people, yes. Dermatologists say blow dryers, hot combs and curling irons can damage hair, and they suggest using them less often, aiming for once a week or less. Damaged hair frizzes more, so heatless styles help break that cycle. When you do use heat, mist on a heat protectant first and keep each pass short.
