Redken Frizz Dismiss NZ: Tame Frizz & Humidity

Frizz is moisture going the wrong way — dry hair pulling damp air in from the room and swelling. Redken Frizz Dismiss tackles it from both ends: hydrating the hair so it stops reaching for moisture, and sealing the surface so humidity can't get in.

If your hair is smooth when you leave the house and a halo of fluff by lunchtime, you are not doing anything wrong — your hair is just thirsty and the air is winning. Here is the range that fixes it and how to use each piece.

The smoothing wash

Frizz Dismiss Shampoo and Conditioner are sulfate-free and built to nourish and smooth as they cleanse, so hair dries calmer from the start. The Frizz Dismiss Mask is the weekly intensive for coarse, very frizzy or dry hair that needs a deeper hit of smoothing.

The two finishers that do the heavy lifting

Rebel Tame is a leave-in smoothing cream — work it through damp hair before drying for soft, controlled, sleek lengths with heat protection. Instant Deflate is the leave-in oil-in-cream for an even smoother, glossier finish on thicker or curlier hair. On a humid day these two are the difference between sleek and fluffy.

How to beat humidity

• Don't skip conditioner. Frizz is dryness — hydrated hair frizzes less. This is the step frizz-prone people wrongly cut.
• Apply smoothers to damp hair and dry with tension (a brush, or let it air-dry without touching it). Touching drying hair is what breaks the seal and starts frizz.
• Seal the surface last. A drop of oil or Instant Deflate on dry ends locks humidity out for the day.
• Cooler rinse to lay the cuticle flat before you even get out of the shower.

What to expect

Smoother, more manageable hair that holds up far longer in damp or muggy conditions. It won't chemically straighten curl or wave — and it shouldn't — but it will make your natural texture behave.
