Our hair says a lot about us, from who we are to how much time we have in the A.M. And while bad hair days do happen, good ones can take that sense of self to a whole new level. (Think: a dramatic chop that lights up the group chat, or the fresh blowout that’s begging for a selfie.) Most of the time, the trick to making that confidence boost last is to work with your hair, not against it. And the right hair-care routine can help you do just that—without cutting into your morning run, no less.
That’s why we tapped a panel of hair experts (you can meet them below!), including the WH beauty team, to get their favorite products across a multitude of categories for our fourth annual Healthy Hair Awards.
Experts
Of course, one size does not fit all when it comes to hair. That’s why we’ve broken out the winners by hair type so you can find the shampoos, conditioners, stylers, treatments, tools, and more that work best for you and your life, whether you’re looking for a post-gym refresh, you’re in the market for a new straightening iron, or you’re in need of serious damage repair.
With that, scroll on (or click below) to see which products made the cut—and get ready to experience your healthiest hair yet.
