5 Top Tips for Frizz Control in UK Salons

Check out the brand new Ultimate Smooth Range by Wella.

Frizz is one of the biggest frustrations for clients in the UK. Between humid summers, damp winters, and unpredictable rain, keeping hair sleek and polished can feel like a losing battle. For stylists, it’s even harder when clients expect a sleek result regardless of the weather can be nerve-wracking when the British weather changes.

With the right techniques and products, UK hairdressers can put this worry to rest, taking control of frizz more effectively. At CM Hair & Beauty Supplies, we stock professional Wella frizz control products to make salon work easier and deliver.

The UK climate is perfect for frizz for these reasons:

- Summer humidity causes the hair cuticle to swell, creating puffiness.

- Drizzle and dampness flatten and leave hair frizzy.

- Winter central heating dries hair out, making it brittle and prone to static.

- Frizz control in UK salons is year year-long battle. Clients need to know that their blow-dries and styles will hold up once they leave the chair.

Here are five practical salon strategies to keep frizz under control and boost client satisfaction:

1. Start with the Right Shampoo and Conditioner
- Silky smooth hair starts at the backwash, using the right system sets the foundation. A range that tackles frizz and flyaways well is the Wella Ultimate Smooth Collection.
- Use the Wella Ultimate Smooth Shampoo, it preps the cuticle for styling reducing frizz.
- Wella Conditioner Ultimate Smooth delivers a vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, colour safe formula that nourishes and improves manageability.
- These two steps cut down on friction during blow-dries and make detangling quicker.- How to cut down time blog

2. Always Prep with Heat Protection
Heat smooths hair during blow-dries, but it can cause dryness if it’s unprotected. The Wella Ultimate Smooth range offers built-in heat protection, that keeps strands shielded whilst you style.
Remind clients to use a heat protectant at home, this small step can make all the difference. If you’re looking for some good heat protects check out some more here.

3. Use a Professional Frizz-Fighting Serum
- Lightweight oils are the stylist’s go-to weapon against frizz. They smooth the cuticle, taming the flyaways and adding shine.
- Apply Wella Miracle Oil Serum on damp hair before blow-drying for smoother, faster results.
- Use a few drops on dry hair for a glossy finish that lasts all day.

This is also the easiest retail recommendation — clients see the difference instantly and want to take it home.

4. Tailor Treatments to the Season
Frizz behaves differently in summer than in winter, so you should change technique when the weather does.

- Summer: Add a lightweight serum and oils to help fight humidity without weighing hair down.
- Winter: Rich masks like the Wella Ultimate Smooth Hair Mask counteract dryness from central heating.

This seasonal approach keeps results consistent, showing clients you can manage their hair in whatever season.

5. Educate Clients on At-Home Care
The best blow-dry won’t last if a home routine isn’t implemented. You can use client consultations as a chance to educate:

- Recommend a complete system (shampoo, conditioner, serum).
- Actively show clients how much serum to use and when.
- Offer retail bundles that customers can buy that will help them maintain smooth, frizz-free hair until their next visit.
- When your clients still look flawless days after their visit, they will automatically attest it to your excellent hair-dressing and styling skills.

The Wella Ultimate Smooth Collection is crafted by professional formulas that tackles frizz from the cause.

- Squalane hydrates and reduces dryness.
- Omega-9 fatty acids strengthen and smooth the hair structure.
- Metal Purifier Technology clears impurities that make hair coarse and dull.

This technology makes hair easier to style for hairdressers, while clients enjoy glossy, manageable results that last.

Frizz control services don’t just make clients happy — they help salons grow.

- Faster blow-dries = more appointments per day.
- Reliable results = loyal, repeat clients.
- Retail sales = higher margins on every service.

That’s why more stylists are choosing Wella frizz control products to set their salon apart.
