Hair type: My hair is incredibly thick, wavy, pouf-prone, Middle Eastern hair.
Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray
Ever since Travis Speck instinctively gave me a French girl bob at Suite Caroline last spring, I found out my hair flips at the ends if I just push it in that direction, which I like. Sometimes I’ll go for a piece look like Karen Duffy in Dumb and Dumber with a treatment like Sangre de Fruta’s Hair Elixir, otherwise, I need some kind of grippy texturizing spray, and Oribe’s is still my top after a decade of trying them all. —Arden Fanning Andrews, beauty editor-at-large
Hair type: So fine that it feels like a toddler’s first whisps, mostly straight with some surprising bends.
Crown Affair The Cleansing Scalp Scrub Shampoo
When my hair needs a little more care than usual, I always turn to Crown Affair. This scalp scrub leaves my hair feeling squeaky clean for days, and not to mention, the packaging is so luxurious. —Laura Jackson, shopping writer
Hair type: Fine, blonde hair.
Rōz Hair The Healthy Hair Kit
I’ve been loyal to Rōz’s Foundation shampoo and conditioner since it launched—the scent is heavenly (Mara, you genius!) and formulated with a botanical oil blend of grape seed, walnut oil, ginger root extract, and frankincense that makes my natural waves look their best when air-dried. The Santa Lucia and Willow Glen Treatment are two other staples I use for styling and hydrating, respectively. What more can I say? Buy the whole kit! It’s one of the rare full systems I truly love and use all the time. —Talia Abbas, senior shopping editor
Hair type: Thick, wavy, and dry—with a gravity-defying pouf whenever it’s humid out.
Emi Jay Dream Crème
Ever since the Emi Jay Dream Crème came out, my life has been changed. My hair is silky smooth, soft, and tanglefree. I’m also getting more compliments than ever which makes me wonder what my hair looked like before? —Irene Kim, production and editorial coordinator
Hair type: My hair is fine, but I have a lot of it.
Shu Uemura Essence Absolue Nourishing Protective Hair Oil
I have hair that can go many ways depending on the day. Sometimes it’s stick-straight (hello, winter), and other days a frizzy mess (yay summer!). This is the best hair oil I’ve tried to tame the beast no matter the weather, without giving you that “did I wash my hair?” paranoia that can sometimes results from an overly heavy product . Plus, it smells like a dream. —Chloe Schama, senior editor
Motions Style & Create Versatile Foam Styling Lotion
My wavy-curly, very frizzy hair is the most high-maintenance part of my routine—when I have the time and energy to do it, that is. I like to have an old-school set (a.k.a put up in rollers with a mousse, then brushed and hairsprayed into submission), typically inspired by old Hollywood stars like Liz Taylor, Lauren Bacall, and the ’90s women who also found their haircuts cool (Shalom Harlow, Linda Evangelista). This Motions foam was recommended to me by Jessica Gillin at Jenna Perry Hair (she used it at cosmetology school) and it’s fantastic when paired with flocked, or velvet, rollers. (I prefer these by Conair over velcro or textured ones because of the finish, which is frizz-free and shiny.) To do this, I dry hair, then run the foam through in small sections and wrap my hair upward tightly around the hot roller. Once my entire head is cool, I unwind my hair and brush it out with the very bristle-y, massage-y Sisley hairbrush. Lastly, I go in for one one final shaping with the R+Co Featherlight Hairspray, which smells incredible and lets hair move while keeping its shape. —Margaux Anbouba, senior beauty editor
