This John Frieda Secret Weapon Touch-Up Crème has become my go-to for taming frizz and flyaways without turning my hair into a greasy mess. Here’s what makes it a winner—and a couple of things to be mindful of. What Works Really Well: Instant Frizz Control: The crème delivers on its promise—just a small amount smooths down flyaways and puffy strands almost immediately. It’s especially great in humid weather when my hair tends to go rogue. Moisturizing Formula: With avocado oil in its ingredients, it helps seal in moisture, which softens the hair and reduces that “static” frizz feel. John Frieda Versatile Use: I use it both after styling and for quick touch‑ups mid‑day. According to the official instructions, it's made for dry hair and works as a midday refresher. John Frieda Nice Finish: Leaves hair looking smooth and shiny—not flat. Many fans say it gives a “flawless, polished” look. Influenster Travel Friendly: The 4 oz squeeze tube is compact enough to toss in a bag for gym or travel. A Few Things to Consider: Easy to Overapply: A little goes a long way—too much can make your roots look a little greasy. (Several users mention this, including long‑time fans.) Influenster Scent: There’s a mild fragrance that I like, but if you’re very sensitive to scent, it’s something to note. Target +1 Residue Risk: Depending on how much you use and your hair type, some people say there’s light residue or a slightly “tacky” feel. MakeupAlley Bottom Line: If your hair battles with frizz, flyaways, or humidity, this Touch-Up Crème is a classy little helper. It’s not a heavy-duty styling product, but as a smoothing tool for touch-ups or finishing, it absolutely delivers. Worth keeping in your haircare toolkit. Read more
I have naturally curly hair and this stuff works really great to spruce up my curls. It's not greasy and it's not heavy and will not weigh hair down. And there's no weird smell. It works great. I wash my hair every other day and the day that I don't wash it when I wake up in the morning a lot of times my curls are kind of flat and this fluffs up my curls and makes them look really nice. I highly recommend this product. Read more
I will continue to use this as I am still evaluating it after a few weeks. It smooths my fly-aways and my hair appears moisturized after using it. I blow dry my hair first, then use a flatiron and then about a pea sized amount of this styling cream all through my hair. For reference, I have fine, thinning hair which can have a lot of fly-aways. This takes care of them almost completely after applying. Many ingredients weigh my hair down, but this does not if I use only a pea sized amount. I was using argan oil for this purpose, but find it can make my hair too soft to style or flat. So I like this better. I have tried using it on damp hair before blow-drying, and found that to be good on the first day. Then I thought my hair was a bit flat the second day. But you may find this works well as it does offer some heat protection. I am a little disappointed because I thought once applied, the styling cream would keep my hair looking moisturized and the fly-aways would stay gone. However, I find I need to reapply the cream after a few hours or if I am brushing my hair again during the day. Still, for someone who can't use products containing silicones because they weigh my hair down a lot, I am pretty happy with this cream. The scent is pleasant and disappears not that long after use. So far, this is the best thing I have found for this purpose. As far as I can tell, it has not built up on my hair. Read more

God send! This stuff works great for my frizzy hair. If I don’t use a bonnet at night after a shower, I wake up with a frizzy mess. I straighten it and it’s still frizzy. A little goes a long way! So easy. Doesn’t weigh down your hair or make it feel oily or greasy. Read more

I have a mix feelings about this product. Though it gives you the slick hair look for sometime but it is not for longer period, baby hairs are way stubborn to handle Read more
