We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A bottle of highly-rated Nizoral anti-dandruff shampoo, because if we have to deal with "flakes" this winter, they should at least be the pretty ones we can admire outside, rather than the pesky ones that appear on our dry scalps.
2. A rosewater curl-refreshing spray that'll add some much needed hydration to curly locks that are feeling thirstier than your recently single BFF.
3. Revlon's incredibly popular hot air brush, which has a whopping 276,000+ 5-star reviews! Not only will it untangle and dry your hair at the same time, it'll also give limp hair some volume so you'll look like you just got a professional blowout in your own bathroom. ✨
4. Or, a good old ceramic hair dryer with a diffuser that's great for drying curly hair more evenly. If you'd love your curls to have a little definition, this'll put a spring in their step.
5. An adorable satin-lined hat to help keep static-y tresses at bay (yes please!). P.S. The faux-fur pom-pom is removable, if that's not your thing.
6. A nifty Chi Spin N Curl curling iron that takes alllll the work (and time!) out of achieving a head full of ringlets. Just place a small section of hair into the curl chamber and...yeah, that's literally it, the iron does the rest. Wait for the beeps that let you know when to release, then tada!
7. Or, some flexible curling rods if you A. Prefer not to use heat on your hair, or B. Have hair that's on the kinkier and/or shorter side, since these work fabulously on tighter coils and are easier to wrap short tresses around than a traditional curling iron.
8. Some cute resin barrettes for anyone who wants to clip back sections of hair without having to deal with bobby pins, which you'll inevitably end up finding in every square inch of your home 🙃Plus, these are so fun!
9. A purple shampoo to help keep your recently lightened hair from turning as brassy as a tuba. As someone who's been getting highlights for almost all of my adult life, I *swear* by this stuff for keeping my blonde the color it was when I left the salon.
10. A scalp-massaging shampoo brush you'll be angry you didn't invent yourself (but will absolutely LOVE using for all future showers). Not only will you be able to more evenly distribute shampoo (no more residue pockets!), you'll get to feel alllll of those pleasurable scalp tingles.
11. A salon-worthy heat and humidity gel to help frizz-prone curls keep their bounce. It locks out humidity without drying hair, and won't leave your curls feeling crusty or sticky, just looking perky!
12. And, a curl-enhancing mousse that'll restore moisture, shine, and definition while providing a soft hold.
13. A biotin and botanical extract-infused volumizing shampoo for anyone with hair that's on the thinner side who would prefer a fuller look. It's also made with essential oils to help hydrate dry scalps, so your hair feels healthy from root to tip.
14. Or, a luxurious hydrating shampoo that'll deliver some very necessary moisture to parched tresses in need of a little TLC.
15. *OR!* a clarifying shampoo for oily hair and scalps that'll help remove buildup and residue that could be weighing you (and your hair) down.
16. A soft elastic headband to keep hair out of the way during makeup application and removal, because you shouldn't have to forego washing your face just to avoid getting your bangs wet.
17. A fast-acting ceramide and collagen-packed hair mask that'll have heat-damaged, over-processed hair thanking you for helping it get its groove back. Just apply it after shampooing, leave on for 5–20 minutes, then rinse it out for more moisturized, softer-feeling hair.
18. A plant-based dry shampoo to keep your roots from feeling oily in between washes. It's made of just six ingredients, like rice and tapioca powders, to absorb all that residue, and comes in a conveniently compact size, making it great for throwing in your travel bag.
19. A super popular Olaplex hair treatment that'll help restore damaged hair's strength and repair broken bonds. If you're a "frequent dyer" (raises hand), this'll become your new best friend.
20. A hydrating leave-in conditioning cream made with coconut oil to help strengthen hair that's lost a bit of its luster due to lack of moisture.
21. And, a shine-enhancing leave-in conditioner spray for anyone whose dry, brittle hair could use a boost of hydration (without feeling heavy). Breakage and split-ends have nothing on this stuff.
22. A heat protectant cream to save your hair from the damaging effects of your blow-dryer, straightener, curling iron — you know, all of those amazing devices that make our hair look fab in the short term but can take a toll on our locks over time. Apply it to your damp hair after you shower, and you'll be good to go once you start applying heat.
23. A Tangle Teezer detangling brush that works on wet or dry hair to get pesky snarls out of all hair types. Adding to my cart ASAP, because I have the type of hair that seems to tangle just by existing.
24. A versatile Tigi Bed Head hair stick you can dab onto flat, limp hair to create some texture or use to slick down stray hairs if a sleeker look is what you're going for.
25. And, a super handy hair finishing stick for on-the-go touchups when you have a few stubborn stray hairs that just won't. stay. put. Simply apply it to flyaways like you would mascara — and start clearing out a permanent space for it in your bag.
26. A soft silk pillowcase to protect your hair from frizz and split ends while getting your eight (let's be real, five) hours of sleep in.
27. And, a jaw-droppingly gorgeous oversized satin scrunchie, because we love a product that protects our hair from breakage while making a *STATEMENT*. Seriously. In. Love.
28. Some twisty knit headbands that'll keep long hair out of your face AND protect your ears from the cold when you don't want to deal with "hat hair."
29. And, a fleece cap with built-in ear warmers and a ponytail opening so you won't have to worry about your hair making its way into your mouth as you huff and puff on your daily jog. Winter runners, consider this your new best friend (and, once your ears have adjusted, just flip up the warmers and wear like a regular baseball cap!).
