9. Sachajuan hair repair promotes regeneration while leaving your hair supple as hell.
10. With warm weather comes humidity. Klorane leave-in cream with papyrus milk controls the frizz by literally shielding your hair from the humidity. How chivalrous.
Promising Review: "This makes my hair SUPER SOFT and SUPER SHINY. I only wash my hair once or twice a week, but I use this stuff every other day. On the days I've washed my hair, I will put this on the ends right after my shower. It takes a TINY amount so this should last forever. I will say that I have noticed a difference in my hair since I've been using it." –jnkotara
11. Tresemmé's leave-in conditioner for split ends smells amazing and won't make your hair oily!

I usually have very oily hair, and this doesn't make it oily at all! –Lynn Smith

13. SheaMoisture's co-wash conditioner is great for naturals who want their hair moisturized and frizz-free!
Promising Review: "I have naturally curly hair and a dry scalp. I don't like shampooing my hair often, but I do like to keep my hair clean and refreshed. Prior to using this type of product, I would just wet my hair and massage my scalp when I took a shower. It did the job, but wasn't that impressive. After using SheaMoisture Co-Wash, I could definitely see a difference. My hair was shiny and soft, and the curls were definitely more defined." –V. Lee Sundin

15. Paul Mitchell's super skinny serum will smooth out your hair and you won't even have to use so much product!
Promising Review: "I initially had small bottle and loved it. The product made my hair silky, smooth, shiny, and soft. I then bought a generic version and ended up throwing it away because it didn't do what this one does. I saw the error of my ways and returned to this brand. I have straight hair to the middle of my back and I use two pumps." –JLP

17. Kenra extra volume mousse that won't dry out your strands while making it as big as you need it. Dolly Parton approves.

It adds shine and volume without the need to use hairspray. My hair is smooth, silky, and easy to style using this product. Amazing stuff." –SmartShopperMJ
Get it from Amazon for $11.29.

Promising Review: "I've only used this product a couple times so far, but it's already made a significant difference and I love it. I have fine, color-treated hair and a few spritzes of this after my shower gives me tangle-free, soft strands that also somehow feel thicker and immediately healthier." –kozey
19. IGK hydrating conditioner de-frizzes and smooths with shea butter to lock in moisture, which is great for color-treated hair!
20. If you have dry hair, OGX coconut milk shampoo and conditioner can hydrate and smooth your tresses.
Promising Review: "The shampoo is rich and creamy. It only takes a little bit to go a long way, it lathers so much! It was so nice, I didn't want to rinse my hair. The conditioner has a richer coconut smell than the shampoo does. It is so smooth and spreads with ease. It left my hair feeling smooth and with a pleasant light coconut smell. The product is especially great for people with dry hair." –Animal Lover

22. Who knew what works for horses would also work for humans too? Mane 'n Tail shampoo and conditioner will stimulate growth and keep your hair soft and shiny.
Promising Review: "As a centaur it is very difficult to find hair products that suit my needs as half horse, half human. I am pleased to say that Mane 'n Tail has satisfied all of my bi-species needs. After a long day of galloping through dusty mountain trails or salty beaches my hair can be left dry and abrasive. When I return to the city I have to impress my human dates with something other than my huge bank account. Mane 'n Tail takes my corse horse mane and transforms it into something luxurious. Thanks mane and tail for creating a product tailored to centaurs. We face much market discrimination due to our unique physical and social situation!" –Gary the Centaur
