Reddit most often favors Olaplex No.7 and Verb Ghost Oil for lightweight silicone smoothing that calms frizz, adds polish, and helps finish styled hair.
The why
A lightweight finishing oil built around dimethicone and Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate, it smooths frizz, boosts shine, and doubles as heat protection. Wavy and curly hair often love two drops, though overapplication can feel tacky, heavy, or coated.
One minus
Pricey compared with cheaper oils
Silicone smoothing oil tames frizz and defines waves; tiny amounts prevent limpness.

Mise en Scène12 mentions
Silicone-rich oil tames frizz and scrunches out gel cast; heavy for fine hair.
Ouai11 mentions
Weightless silk-protein essence for smooth, detangled hair; protein buildup can weigh strands down.

Some love Mise en Scène Perfect Serum for hydrated ends, while others report it can feel heavy or dislike its reformulated scent; Ouai can also feel heavy. These oils suit frizz-prone hair needing a light finishing touch, while fine waves and curls may go limp when too much is applied.
