A FLORIDIAN shared how avoiding a common hair care ingredient tamed her frizzy waves.
She ditched her other conditioners in favor of a $10 beauty buy, which she called her “Holy Grail.”
Editor SouperSalgado42 shared the hair care tip in a post.
She explained that she tends to avoid glycerin in products because it worsens frizz.
“I live in Florida, so I deal with all types of humidity,” she said.
“If you live in a very dry or very humid climate, you MUST avoid glycerin as an ingredient in ANY hair product you use.
“Glycerin is used in practically all conditioners and it used to make my hair so frizzy before I discovered it.”
Instead, a drugstore brand was her go-to for adding moisture to her strands.
“My absolute Holy Grail for conditioner is Love Beauty and Planet!” she said.
“They sell at Target for about $10 a bottle and they smell HEAVENLY!”

Despite the affordable price, she explained that the conditioner has been more effective than the more expensive brands she has purchased.
“This $10 conditioner worked better for me than any luxury salon brand I’ve ever tried,” she said.
“If you’re looking for something fancier, try finding one without glycerin, and you shouldn’t deal with frizz anymore.”
Reviewers supported his recommendation, praising the $10 Love Beauty and Planet Murumuru Butter and Rose Conditioner.
“I love the way the feel and scent of this conditioner makes my shower feel like a spa experience,” said one.
“After using the conditioner, my hair feels nourished, but not weighed down, and has visibly more volume.
She added that the conditioner is safe to use on salon-treated hair.
“It’s also shiny, soft and frizz-free. I feel like it added vibrancy to my dyed hair and seems to retain moisture,” she said.
The Redditor’s post inspired another user to switch products with great results.
“I read this the other day and found a shampoo, conditioner and leave-in without glycerin or propylene glycol,” explained the commentator.
She admitted that “it wasn’t easy,” but the store clerk helped her examine the ingredients.
She ended up buying Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Shampoo and Conditioner along with KurleeBelle Thirsty Kurls Leave-In Conditioner.
“I usually wash, condition and then use a leave-in conditioner and let my hair air dry. It always looks so dry and fried,” she said.
“My stylist was always accusing me of heat styling even though I never do it! And I use a filter in the shower (although I don’t think it does much).
“After using this new product without these two ingredients and letting it air dry, my hair is shiny, shiny, and not a frizzy triangle shape.”
