Best Hair Care Products 2018
2018’s Best Products Have Completely Changed How We Style Our Hair
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
Frizz has been tamed, curls have been defined, and our textures — and we mean, all of our textures — have finally gotten the attention they deserve. We have 2018's roster of innovative spritzers, creams, and tonics, futuristic hair tools, and fashion-forward (but functional) accessories to thank for that. Ahead, see the our picks for the best hair products of 2018.
GHD Gold Glacial Blue Styler
An icy blue take on GHD's classic flat iron, the GHD Gold Glacial Blue Styler ($200) uses ultra-zone technology (meaning: sensors throughout the plates) to assess the hair's temperature and thickness so it doesn't burn hair while styling. Genius!
Gucci Bloom Hair Mist
This Gucci Bloom Hair Mist ($49) will have users leaving a dreamy, scented trail of jasmine and tuberose behind them — and who doesn't want that?
Chloe and Isabel x Jen Atkin Lucite Stud Bun Cuff
Secure and take your top-knots to new heights with the Chloe and Isabel x Jen Atkin Lucite Stud Bun Cuff ($48).
Pantene Pro-V Blends Charcoal Purifying Root Wash Shampoo
The Pantene Pro-V Blends Charcoal Purifying Root Wash Shampoo ($10) removes buildup near the scalp while gently cleansing your hair. It's also a great choice to share with roommates or family members because it's color safe and free of parabens and dyes.
Ouai Anti-Frizz Hair Sheets
The individually wrapped Ouai Anti-Frizz Hair Sheets ($18) tame static for your smoothest hair day, and they are easy to throw in your purse.
Hask Unwined Pinot Noir Deep Conditioner
Hask Unwined Pinot Noir Deep Conditioner ($4) contains wine extract to strengthen strands and up shine.
Justine Marjan x Kitsch Drippin Rhinestone Bobby Pin
You might have seen the Justine Marjan x Kitsch Drippin Rhinestone Bobby Pin ($29) in the hairstyles of your favorite celebrities. With words like "Drippin" and "Damn" emblazoned across them, the crystalized accessories prove hair pins are not just for kids.
Prose Hair Oil
The transformative power of Prose Hair Oil ($53) comes from how thoroughly the brand gets to know your hair and its needs. To get your own bottle, you'll have to answer an extensive questionnaire. For one of our editors, it brought down frizz, upped the moisture, and basically acted as a blowout in a bottle.
Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal + Peppermint Oil Cooling Jelly Conditioner
Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal and Peppermint Oil Cooling Jelly Conditioner ($36) uses peppermint oil to give your scalp a refreshing tingle as it moisturizes and defines the texture of each individual strand.
John Frieda Day 2 Revival Curl Reset Spray, 6 Fluid Ounce: Beauty
John Frieda Day 2 Revival Curl Reset Spray ($10) changes second- or third-day hair by defining every kink and curl. The end result: big, sexy mermaid waves that feel softer than newly washed hair.
