Totally feel you on the frizz struggle
wavy hair can be gorgeous but sooo high maintenance sometimes. Nighttime hair masks can definitely help โ especially if your hair feels dry or needs extra moisture. Look for hydrating ones with ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, or argan oil. You donโt even have to spend big โ some drugstore masks under $10 work just as well as pricey salon ones.
For example, Garnierโs Smoothing Treat 1-Minute Hair Mask (the avocado or coconut ones) are super affordable and leave hair softer without weighing it down. You could use it once or twice a week instead of piling on leave-in every day.
As for leave-in conditioners, the l'oreal products in the Elvive Dream Lengths line are really good budget-friendly options. The No Haircut Cream is usually under $10 and helps with frizz + damage without feeling greasy.
If you want super cheap hacks, sometimes just a tiny bit of aloe vera gel mixed with water in a spray bottle can refresh your waves between washes.
