A good hair day makes me feel amazing. A great hair day makes me feel like I can conquer the world. Unfortunately, if I am having a great hair day, it’s only after several hours spent at the salon. I’m not sure about you, but I want salon-quality hair at home without the time or expense.
That is precisely why I’ve put together this list of 22 hair products and tools. These are my go-to’s, my champions, my never-fail items I reach for when I want the biggest, smoothest, longest-lasting style possible. They never fail me and I am certain they won’t fail you either.
Give your hair the gift of strength and longevity with this TikTok famous Batana Oil Paste
This Batana Oil is made with 100% pure, organic ingredients and traditionally cold-pressed by the Miskito people of Honduras, preserving its natural potency for healthier, more beautiful hair. Often recommended for those looking to restore vitality, it helps transform dull, dry strands into thicker, shinier hair while supporting overall scalp health.
Enjoy a full salon treatment with this scalp-protecting Hair Growth Oil
Transform your hair with this Batana oil serum expertly crafted to give you thick shiny hair that lasts. This scalp oil is ideal for those who struggle with hair loss or are looking to fill in patchy areas. As a bonus, this hair oil also has deep moisturizing properties, delivering you everlasting softness and shine.
This Hair Growth Oil is perfect for your hair health (and smells pretty good too!)
Treat yourself to a salon experience from home with this hair growth spray that’s both organic and ethically sourced. This growth oil not only hydrates and nourishes your hair, but also eliminates frizz and leaves your hair feeling silky smooth. Perfect for those facing hair loss, or are just looking for some extra volume, this spray is the perfect addition to your haircare routine.
Solve frizz forever with this Anti-Frizz Serum you can take anywhere
Avoid dealing with flyaways and frizz forever with the help of this styling cream that comes in a nifty 1 fl oz bottle that you can take literally anywhere. Unlike traditional gels, this hair stick smooths your edges and controls even the most stubborn flyaways with a flexible and soft hold that stays all day long.
Truly radiant hair starts from within, and these Force Factor hair growth soft chews are the perfect way to kickstart the process!
Stop settling for basic biotin. These Force Factor Hair Growth Accelerator Soft Chews feature Lustriva, a revolutionary complex 40x more soluble than standard biotin. Designed to stimulate follicles and boost collagen, this formula is clinically shown to increase hair thickness in just three weeks. Enjoy stronger, fuller hair with every delicious, mixed-berry chew.
This budget-friendly curling iron gives salon-level curls and waves at home!
Stop settling for “accidental crimps” when you can have a full salon menu. The ANIEKIN 5-in-1 Curling Iron Set offers four interchangeable barrels and a volumizing brush that heat up in 30 seconds flat. From tight ringlets to bouncy “just-left-the-stylist” blowouts, it’s the ultimate hair-styling Swiss Army knife for your vanity.
Start with Something Natural
I’ve found that hair products with more natural ingredients work best for my hair. They clean well but don’t strip my natural oils. In fact, they compliment my natural oils with added oils of their own. This shampoo bar, for example, is made with jojoba, which is both hydrating and anti-inflammatory to the scalp.
The Perfect Shower Duo
Liquid shampoo and conditioners are not quite as organic as shampoo bars, but they can still be incredibly hydrating to your hair. This duo utilizes coconut oil and avocado oil to ensure your strands absorb all the healthy fats they need for maximum shine and bounce.
Repair the Damage
If you bleach your hair (or use heat tools regularly), odds are you have a bit of damage. The number one way to achieve that effortless salon look at home is by repairing that damage. I use this protein treatment regularly. It restores the proteins in your hair lost through processing and styling.
An Effortless Look Is Always In
I love an effortless hair style. But we all know that, in fact, a lot of effort goes into achieving it. I always start with this sea salt spray as a base. It offers just the right amount of hold for my waves. Spray generously, let your hair air-dry, and you’ll get that gorgeous beachy look.
Take Your Vitamins!
This product offers a new way to apply hair serum. The perfect amount of product is stored in individual capsules. Simply break one open, pour the product in your hand, and distribute throughout your after while still damp. This serum is packed with oils and vitamins for healthier strands.
Banish Brassiness in an Instant
All you silver foxes out there know the struggle of keeping brassiness at bay. Well, I have the ultimate solution for you. This purple hair mask, applied for 10-minutes once weekly, will tone out any unwanted orange or yellow color in your blonde hair, leaving behind the perfect neutral or cool-toned shade.
Prime It and Prep It
After shampoo and conditioner, but before styling, you absolutely have to prep your hair properly. The right prepping products will help hold a style by enhancing the effects of your gel or mousse. I recommend this primer as it is vegan and cruelty-free, all while being undeniably effective.
Use a Top Shelf Conditioner
The reviews for this protein conditioner speak for themselves. One user says, “This conditioner is a miracle in a bottle. My hair was bleached twice in a matter of a month and it was dry, brittle and frizzy. After just one use my hair looks and feels better than it was before it was bleached!!!! I’m hooked and will continue to buy it!”
Get a Better Blowout
Nothing instills more confidence than a fresh blowout. I’m continually learning how to do my own blowout at home and I’ve found this round brush to be the key to my success. It’s the perfect size to add volume with just a touch of curl at the ends of my hair. A must-have!
Customize Your Blow Dry Experience
I like to use as little heat on my hair as possible. That includes when I’m blowdrying. I love this particular dryer because it includes six different speeds and temperature settings so I can apply as much or as little heat as I want. The included concentrator and diffuser attachments are the cherry on top!
Go Back To Your Roots
In between coloring appointments, keep up with your roots with this touch-up powder. In a matter of seconds, cover greys by gently padding on this tinted powder. It lasts all day, doesn’t irritate the scalp, and works for all hair types and textures.
Maintain a Thick, Healthy Head of Hair
Hair can fall out for a variety of reasons. Stress, postpartum, and the natural aging process can all leave you with thinner hair than you’d like. I recommend this women’s Rogaine product with a whopping 5% Minoxidil, the ingredient that stimulates growth.
Trim the Dead Ends
Healthy-looking hair is all in the ends. If you have split ends, your hair will appear thinner and even shorter than it really is! Keep up with your regular trims (once monthly!) to ensure healthy, thick-looking growth. This particular pair of scissors is so cute, I’ve even bought a backup pair.
A New Type of Brush That Won’t “Boar” You
Jokes aside, a boar bristle hair brush is a must-have in your arsenal. The hair on this brush collects the natural oils from your scalp and distributes them evenly all the way down the hair shaft. This helps your strands stay well lubricated, which not only moisturizes them but acts as a protectant as well.
Don’t Forget Your Scalp!
Good hair starts at the root. And good roots start with this scalp serum. Made with biotin and rosemary oil, it works overtime for improved hair growth. One reviewer boasts, “This product works. I had thinning areas where I could see my scalp. I am now on my 3rd bottle. I could see a difference within a couple of weeks.”
Keep It Colorful
A new hair color can give you an entirely new outlook on life. When I’m looking for a change, I grab this at-home box dye. Why? It includes keratin, which not only protects my strands from damage but actually helps make them stronger.
The One Tool to Rule Them All
Listen up. If you want just one tool to give you that salon-worthy hair at home, buy this immediately. This hair dryer and round brush combo works on nearly-dry hair to smooth, straighten, and add incredible volume to all hair textures. You heard me! Even curly-haired girls will love this.
Go Old Fashioned
Back in the day, women used velcro rollers to achieve a blowout. After drying each section of the hair, roll it up in these. Let it cool for 10 minutes or so and voila! You have big, bouncy hair that lasts all day. Did I mention these are some of the most affordable hair tools out there? We love it!
Hold It Right There!
After you’ve achieved the perfect hairstyle, the last thing you want is for it to fall within the hour. Keep every strand in place with this classic hairspray. It has an impressive hold (boasting 24 hours) without being sticky or clumpy. Sounds perfect to me!
Fight Frizz On the Daily
Frizz is the enemy of a good hair day. Some have to deal with humid weather. Others just have naturally frizzy hair. Either way, this frizz-controlling mousse will keep your waves and curls smooth and defined. Made with coconut oil and hibiscus, it works overtime to keep your strands moisturized as well.
Add THIS To Your Blowdry Routine
Did you know there are styling products specifically for blowouts? Oh yes! A blow dry balm works perfectly with the heat of a dryer to reduce damage, tame flyaways, and achieve unbelievably smooth strands. The use of silicone, which coats and protects the hair strands, will leave your hair so smooth, you’ll be running your hands through it all day long.
Style While You Sleep
If you could wake up to perfect hair, would you? Of course! And with this heatless curling tool, you can. Simply wrap your slightly damp hair around the rod, secure it with hair ties, and head to bed. When you take it out in the morning, you’ll have the most perfect waves without the effort.
