So, if you're one of the victims, these home remedies will surely help.

Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is slightly acidic and anecdotal evidence suggests applying it topically is beneficial for reducing frizz, which is usually caused due to an alkaline pH.
Mix 1/3 cup of ACV in a liter of water. Pour this mixture on your hair, let it sit for a few minutes, and rinse with cold water.
Do this twice weekly for noticeably frizz-free hair.

Leave it for 15 minutes and wash with a mild shampoo.
Applying a few drops of coconut oil to the hair after washing is also a great tip to make hair more manageable.

Eggs are high in saturated fats, biotin, and vitamins, and egg masks are a great way to get frizz-free and shiny hair.

Shampoo thoroughly to remove the pungent and repelling odor.
