Summer is something so many people look forward to—the frizz that comes with it, on the other hand, is met with notably less excitement. While people with curly hair are often thought to have it the worst as soon as the humidity spikes, hair stylists are quick to note that anyone with dry, damaged strands can experience frizz. The reason? When hair is dry, individual strands stretch outward in search of moisture from the air. That’s why celebrity hairstylist Ro Morgan says that, when it comes to finding a frizz-fighting spray that works, moisture is a major determining factor.

“Anti-humidity sprays create a protective shield around the hair to help retain moisture and prevent frizz,” he explains. They’re able to do so thanks to the ingredients they’re formulated with. According to Morgan, the trick is to look for anti-humidity sprays infused with moisture-retaining ingredients like ProVitamin B5 (because the more moisturized your hair is, the less likely it is to seek moisture from its environment), and polymers (which are known to condition and smooth) to prevent hair from reverting back to a frizz-prone state.

The more you know, right? With this newfound knowledge in mind, we’ve gone ahead and rounded up five frizz-fighting sprays that won’t leave you hanging (or your hair sticking straight up) this summer.
