**Question:** Which shampoo is good for frizzy hair?

**Short answer:** Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Shampoo has the best record for frizzy hair: 12 of 12 shoppers said it left their hair smoother, softer and less frizzy, though that rests on a small group. Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo and Matrix Mega Sleek Shampoo are close behind, at 35 of 40 and 25 of 28, with the other four shampoos sitting close together below them. Each record counts just shoppers who said they have frizzy hair.

**Which of these shampoos for frizzy hair are sold on Amazon?**

Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo, Matrix Mega Sleek Shampoo, Verb Ghost Weightless Shampoo and Pureology Strength Cure Shampoo are sold on Amazon by the brand or Amazon itself, and so is the leader, Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Shampoo, which is also the best pick sold on Amazon. OUAI Fine Hair Shampoo is sold there through third-party sellers, so check who the seller is. We found no official Amazon listing for OUAI Thick Hair Shampoo, so it has no buy link here.
