Battling frizz can feel like a full-time job, especially when you have factors like humidity working against you. There are so many quick fixes you can take to momentarily smooth down flyaways, like hair oils or leave-in conditioners. But odds are, if you’ve been in a battle with frizz for your whole life like I have, you’ve heard a little something about keratin.

Keratin treatments are an in-salon service you can get that reduces frizz and adds shine to your hair. But they can be pricey, and when done incorrectly, potentially damaging. But whether you opt for a salon treatment or not, you can still get the smoothing, healing, and repairing benefits of keratin right in your shower. “If you’ve got frizzy locks and are afraid to take the leap and get a full-on keratin treatment at the salon, then a keratin shampoo is a great way to start,” says Hawkins. Here, find the 13 best keratin shampoos that can actually alleviate frizz, for good.

“Keratin helps to rebuild the protein structure of your damaged hair,” says Hawkins. “Over time, it should leave your hair silky and smooth.” It’s something our body creates naturally. “Our hair, skin, and nails are made up of keratin,” says Lam. “The more do to our hair–such as coloring or heat styling it—the more it can weaken and appear dull.”

What do keratin shampoos do?

“If you’ve got frizzy locks and are afraid to take the leap and get a full-on keratin treatment at the salon, then a keratin shampoo is a great way to start,” says Hawkins. If you already have a keratin treatment, “Keratin shampoos help protect your investment by prolonging the smoothness of the cuticle,” says Perteet.

Even if you have un-treated hair, keratin shampoos can still help keep frizz at bay. “If you have frizzy/coarse hair texture, keratin shampoo is a great option to help smooth your hair,” says Rasmussen. “Over time it creates a coating on the hair that will help fill in the pores in your hair to make it smooth and shiny.”
