39 Best Hair Care Products of 2023, According to ‘Vogue’ Editors

Over the years, my natural waves have fallen and thinned quite quickly, so I’m left with straight hair that swings on the thin, finer end of the spectrum. I’ve put many products to the test in hopes that I achieve a fuller, thicker head, and Living Proof’s Full shampoo has never led me astray. I love the way my hair feels, smells, and looks after every shower—I receive compliments nearly every time I rush out the door! For finishing touches, I swear by my favorite ceramic brush for a quick at-home blowout, and when I need to just toss it up at the end of the day, I’m always reaching for a damage-free silk scrunchie from Intimissimi. Crease and frizz, be gone!

Hair type: My hair is incredibly thick, wavy, pouf-prone, Middle Eastern hair.

I curl my hair with a straightener. Let me explain: I’m half Middle Eastern, Lebanese to be exact, and I inherited a thick head of unrelenting, wavy hair. I’ve been told by several stylists that there’s enough hair on my head for four people. I say this to emphasize how out of the question blow drying my hair is. Even the most beloved dryers will take half an hour—and that’s just to dry; styling is a whole other matter. I don’t own a blow dryer. What I do own is a hair straightener, the Dyson Corrale. I wash my hair at night and let my hair air dry for about 12 hours before taking the Corrale to my hair and twisting it down locks to create a shiny, frizz-free, bouncy curl. The beauty of the tool is that I only pass through my hair once, and within 25 minutes, I have a head full of luscious curls that last me until my next wash. I discovered this straightener-as-a-curler-hack in high school and will likely be doing my hair this way for the long run. Any straightener will do, but Dyson offers a battery/cordless tool that has improved the experience significantly.

Hair type: A lot of fine hair that’s constantly being thrown into a new hairstyle. 

I’m someone who experiments with a lot of new hairstyles. From up-dos and blowouts to hot tools (I’ve been loving the Shark FlexStyle) and velcro rollers. You name it, I’ve most likely tried it. And while that is a lot of fun, it comes with its fair share of damage. To help with the breakage and dryness, I use this hair mask from Amika once a week in place of conditioner and have seen a lot of improvement in my hair. Hair masks have always been tricky since I have finer hair, but I’ve found that this one doesn’t weigh my hair down or cause it to look greasy. After using it, my hair feels so soft and shiny, and as an always-in-a-rush kind of girl, I love that you only have to keep it in for 5 minutes.
