From the recorded answer

### IGK Good Behavior Smoothing Blowout Balm …
Read recorded answer

Recorded answer text · ChatGPT · 4 October 2026

If you mean the best blow-dry cream to buy in Los Angeles, these are my top picks right now:

### Drybar Liquid Glass High-Gloss Smoothing Blowout Cream $34.00

### IGK Good Behavior Smoothing Blowout Balm $35.00

### Briogeo Farewell Frizz Blow Dry Perfection $26.00

### Kérastase Ciment Thermique Blow Dry Primer $52.00

### SEEN Blow-Out Creme, Fragrance Free $29.00

### 🏆 My picks

Best overall: Drybar Liquid Glass - $34 Great for that smooth, shiny, salon blowout look. It provides heat protection up to 450°F and helps create a frizz-resistant finish. www.sephora.com

Best for frizz + humidity: IGK Good Behavior - $35 Excellent if your hair gets puffy. It offers 450°F heat protection and up to 72-hour frizz control.

Best for fine hair: Briogeo Farewell Frizz - $26 Lightweight and silicone-free, with 450°F heat protection. Marie Claire's hairstylist expert specifically recommends it for a long-lasting blowout. www.marieclaire.com

Best luxury: Kérastase Ciment Thermique - $52 My choice if your hair is dry, damaged, bleached, or frequently heat-styled. It offers 450°F protection and is designed specifically as a blow-dry primer.

Best fragrance-free: SEEN Blow-Out Creme - $29 Especially good if you want heat protection + smoothness without fragrance; it protects up to 450°F and helps with frizz and shine.

If you tell me your hair type (fine/thick, straight/wavy/curly) and whether your goal is volume, sleekness, or frizz control, I can narrow it down to one best cream for you.

Recorded answer text · Perplexity · 4 October 2026

The best all-around choice is IGK Crybaby Smoothing & Finishing Serum-it smooths flyaways, adds shine, and is designed to control frizz without heavily weighing hair down.

Other strong US options:

- Best for humidity: Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray-better for blow-dried styles and humid weather than a traditional daily serum. - Best for fine hair: IGK Crybaby-lightweight oils and prickly pear extract help smooth without obvious heaviness. - Best for dry or thick hair: Moroccanoil Treatment-richer, so use only a small amount on mid-lengths and ends. - Best budget pick: Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum-an argan-oil formula marketed for up to 72 hours of frizz control. - Best for maximum lasting control: Wella Professionals Ultimate Smooth Miracle Oil Serum, advertised with up to 96-hour frizz control.

How to use: Apply 1-3 pumps to damp hair, concentrating on the mid-lengths and ends; use a half-pump on dry hair to finish. Avoid the roots unless your hair is very coarse or dry.
