help reduce shrinkage
contribue à défriser les cheveux


Explanation:
Ce sujet est plutôt terra incognita, mais on peut aisément s'éloigner de la source du fait que réduire quelque chose consiste le plus souvent à accroître son antonyme:
litt. réduire le frisage = cheveux plus lisses, moins frisés/bouclés, lissage, atténuer les boucles, etc. Comme il s'agit sans doute de vendre, autant chercher une formulation naturelle qui traduit le propos.
