"Summer" and "smooth hair" have come to be known as antonyms, and there is little we can do to stop frizz from happening on the hottest—and most humid—days of the year. Our editors have done the grunge work for you, and discovered which products work and which don’t. Here are some of their favorites for a frizz-free summer.

Favorite Frizz Fighter: John Masters Sea Mist
This is the ultimate spray-and-go product. You spritz it on after washing, comb through and let hair air-dry and it settles with just a touch of that beachy-look bounce without any frizz. It also has an amazing lavender scent that's like a mini-spa in your strands." $17, ulta.com
