defrizzing

Calming unruly hair

Defrizzing is the act of smoothing or taming frizzy hair—reducing the flyaway, puffy texture that humidity or damage causes.

Hair products promise defrizzing effects, and styling tools claim defrizzing technology: I spent twenty minutes defrizzing my hair before the interview.

The word applies to the process, while defrizz describes the result or method.
