It's annoying and definitely NOT attractive. So what's a girl to do?

These hair savers will not only keep your strands smooth and soft throughout those hot summer days, but some of them even include nourishing, moisturizing, and shine-boosting benefits. Check out some of the best ones in the market to help you keep the frizz at bay this season!
