30 Hairstylist-Recommended Products You'll Wish You Knew About Sooner

Everything you need for a serious hair upgrade.

We asked hairstylists from the BuzzFeed Community what products they recommend we should be using to keep our locks looking perfect.

Stylists unanimously agreed that you should buy salon-brand hair products when possible. However, if you can't easily access a salon in your area, they also suggested several drugstore and big-box store brands that will still help you maintain healthy hair.

1. A Wet Brush to make detangling wet hair less of a struggle.
