Default Frizz Control?

What is a good product to use for frizz control? I have thick mid length hair, I don't have a lot of frizz in the morning. But once I mid morning comes around I can start to notice it more, then again this Florida weather doesn't help much lol. TIA

For me, three good pumps of FOTE aloe vera gel on sopping wet hair straight out of the shower before all my other products. Reduces frizz and aids in definition and clumping. Keeps that desirable squishiness going as you're putting in your product(s) without adding any additional heaviness.

ETA: I am in Atlanta.

I am not from the south, but durring a recent visit there I tried out a lot of products. I had great results from using KCCC (and BRHG over it).

Aw crap ~ yet another product I'm going to run out and buy asap! Looks like I'll be bumping my husband out of the bathroom, no room for him anymore! I am indeed turning into a PJ and have hardly got my feet wet yet!

LOL! At least it's cheap - I got a couple of 20 oz. pump bottles for about $3.75 ea. at Rite-Aid. You can probably beat that at Wal-Mart or somewhere. It's also good for seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp and face and now I always have some on hand for burns and sunburns - it's a good multi-tasker.

Can you just use aloe gel? I am not familiar with the spray. I have seen J.A.S.O.N. brand that is CG friendly and 99% aloe but it's gel.

FOTE is a gel, not a spray.
