A FLORIDIAN has shared how shunning a common haircare ingredient has tamed her frizzy waves.

She ditched her other conditioners in favor of a $10 beauty buy that she called her “holy grail.”

Redditor SouperSalty42 shared the haircare tip in a post.

She explained that she tends to avoid glycerin in products because it exacerbates frizziness.

“I live in Florida, so I deal with all kinds 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 products you use.

“Glycerin is used in pretty much every conditioner, and it used to make my hair so so so so frizzy before I figured it out.”

Instead, a drugstore brand was her go-to to add moisture to her strands.

“My absolute holy grail for conditioner is Love Beauty and Planet!” she said.

“They’re sold at Target for around $10 a bottle, and they smell HEAVENLY!”

Despite the affordable price point, she explained that the conditioner has been more effective than the more expensive brands she’s purchased.

“This $10 conditioner has worked better for me than any luxury salon brand I’ve ever tried,” she said.

“If you’re looking for something more high-end, try finding one without glycerin, and you shouldn’t be dealing with frizz any longer.”

Reviewers seconded her recommendation, raving about the $10 Love Beauty and Planet Murumuru Butter and Rose conditioner.

“I love the way the feel and aroma 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 noticeably more volume.

She added that the conditioner is safe to use on salon-treated hair.

“It’s also shiny, smooth, and frizz-free. I feel like it has added vibrancy to my color-treated hair and seems to lock in moisture,” she said.

The Redditor’s post inspired another user to switch products with great results.

“I read this the other day and went and found a shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in with no glycerin and no propylene glycol,” the commenter explained.

She admitted it “wasn’t easy,” but the store attendant helped her go through the ingredients.

She ended up buying Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Shampoo and Conditioner along with KurleeBelle Thirsty Kurls Leave-in Conditioner.

“Usually I shampoo, 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! And I use a filter on the shower head (although I don’t think it does much).

“After using this new stuff without those two ingredients and letting it air dry, my hair is shiny, lustrous, and not shaped like a frizzy triangle.”
