Alternative to John Frieda's 'Frizz Ease'?

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone else finds that John Frieda's Frizz Ease spray smells pretty vile?

It certainly does what it says on the tin, but to me the stuff whiffs of stale sweat. :(

Any suggestions for sweeter-smelling (not too expensive!) alternatives? :)

    The Aussie range do anti-frizz options - maybe just changing your shampoo/conditioner would help, or try their anti-frizz leave in (spray) conditioner. Haven't tried it, but their stuff generally works really well against frizz - and it smells divine!

    I actually won some Moroccanoil treatment hair stuff, one is an oil in a glass bottle with a pump dispenser on the top. Two tiny pumps of that is enough for my hair (fairly thick, just past shoulders) and really helps with the frizz. It is horrendously expensive, but mine has lasted over a year so far and I use it every other day on average. Goes on forever. Am sure I have tonnes left still.
