Whether you have straight hair, wavy, hair, or something in between, chances are you know that using the best hair products is the difference between a good hair day and a great hair day. You know, the kind where you’re the main character and can’t stop taking selfies. Okay, so now that we’re on the same page, let’s talk about the best hair products to get you there.
Do you want to show off your long, straight strands, while keeping them damage-free and as shiny as can be? Or maybe you want to curl your hair into perfect waves that won’t go limp at the first sign of humidity. Or maybe you’re looking for the best shampoo for hair growth. There are products for all that and more. And if your hair is fine and thin, you’ve probably got volume and thickness on your mind. We’ve got you covered there too.
But if you have wavy strands, you probably have other goals, like keeping your bends frizz-free. As anyone with wavy hair knows, the more texture you have, the more susceptible you are to dryness. What you need is moisture—but not too much. You want something lightweight that will nourish and encourage your natural wave pattern.
We know it’s not easy to find these dream products. Luckily, we did all the work for you. Over the past few months, Glamour editors have been testing everything from the best shampoo and conditioner combos to stylers that enhance your strands without weighing them down. Plus, the best hot tools that will help you level up your look.
This year’s Glamour Beauty Award–winning products for straight and wavy hair are delivering all that and more. Below, the top picks we swear by for the shiniest, healthiest, most enviable strands.
