Frizz and heat damage often go hand in hand, particularly for anyone who regularly reaches for a blow-dryer or straighteners. OGX is addressing both with Ionic Frizz Repair, a new six-piece haircare range featuring its dual-action Ionic Ceramide Technology. The formula is designed to smooth flyaways while helping repair damage beneath the surface.
The first products arrive at major retailers on November 1, 2026, with the rest of the collection set to follow later in the winter. Among the launch products is the Leave-In Weightless Hair Ionic Protection Treatment, which protects hair from heat up to 450°F. It gives shoppers a way to add heat protection to their usual styling routine without introducing another step.
