How would you de-frizz this girl's hair?

I need to look into that oil and cream stuff to prevent issues like this.
 
Quick mask, patch/healbrush, then liquify hair bumps... Went ahead dodged/burned and hue/saturation some spots...Sharpened and vibrance on eyes.. then clone stamped and painted eyebrows. Just learned how to set up actions and wow they are a crazy time saver!!

Next time for fun, try the Select and Mask, Refine edge tool set to either a larger radius or the smart radius. It will give you a more natural edge, without being so sharp. I'm still learning how to use it, but so far it works great
 
A different background could have made the frizz less noticeable. Not be much can be done about the super humid/wet weather conditions lately but yeah, there are hair products to help with that.

I'm not sure why this is almost a square image. Not having her so low in the frame and not so close up might have helped; she has long hair and we're seeing it chopped off (which is unflattering) because it's framed so tight the bottom edge of the image is barely below a fairly high neckline. Think about the vantage point and the framing and adjust before hitting the shutter button. This could be a reshoot... but since that's not always an option, think about the framing and the vantage point. It isn't practical to count on being able to have a do-over.

This captured a wonderful smile and personality and overall would be better had the framing and vantage point been adjusted during the shoot.

This being a professional situation it seems inappropriate to refer to a female client as a girl or a chick. That could be appropriate with friends, joking around, or in a casual setting. But you don't necessarily know a client well enough to be that informal. Being businesslike or professional in words and demeanor is a way to be taken by others as a pro (because your behavior would indicate you are professional).
 
And now because of this thread I can't stop seeing the use of Girls in ads for women. The latest from Aeropostale where they use Girls and Guys, and for the most part they tend to leave a fair number of hairs flying around on their models.

That's not how the image was cropped. I just cropped it this way to highlight the frizz for this post.

She actually is my friend. But point taken.
