The Top Hair Products of 2025

      Bad hair days? Not in our vocabulary! From luxurious masks that provide shine and essential strength to innovative formulations that simplify our daily styling routines, these 19 standout products have received enthusiastic endorsements.

      **Best Shampoo**

      **Nécessaire Rosemary Shampoo**

      With its formula that stimulates the scalp, sleek packaging, and refined fragrance, Nécessaire's Rosemary Shampoo is an essential shower item. It lathers beautifully without sulfates and, enriched with five key ceramides, it avoids leaving our scalps feeling tight or overly clean. Experts love it because, as Dr. Caroline Robinson, a dermatologist and founder of Tone, says: "This shampoo leverages rosemary extract and ceramides to enhance scalp health while being gentle on hair. The refreshing herbal scent invigorates during your shower, making it an excellent option for those experiencing dryness or shedding as they await their dermatologist appointment."

      **Best Conditioner**

      **Nécessaire Rosemary Conditioner**

      This rich and creamy conditioner provides hydration for thick hair without overwhelming finer strands. While rosemary oil can sometimes have an overly astringent scent in haircare products, Nécessaire incorporates subtle fragrance notes of mandarin, jasmine, and cedar, leaving hair smelling delightful.

      **Best Clarifying Shampoo**

      **Dae Desert Detox Clarifying Shampoo**

      Most clarifying shampoos can over-strip moisture, but Dae achieves an ideal balance with its purifying cleanser. It cleansed our scalps thoroughly without making our hair feel dry. Plus, like all Dae products, it boasts an incredible fragrance; we wish we could envelop ourselves in its refreshing blend of citrus, orange blossom, and vanilla.

      **Best Hair Gel for Curls**

      **Olaplex No.10 Curl Defining Frizz Reducing Hair Gel**

      Curls can be delicate and prone to breakage, making a gel that not only repairs hair bonds but also enhances natural curl patterns a significant asset. This Olaplex gel provided bouncy, smooth curls without any undesirable crunch and held up well against humidity, which is impressive for a softer formula.

      **Best Hair Cream for Curls**

      **Sisley Paris Hair Rituel Curl Care Cream**

      This rich cream serves as an indulgent treat for thick, hydrated curls. Despite its dense texture, it delivers lightweight, silky results. A small amount goes a long way to achieve soft, defined ringlets that last for days. Celebrity hairstylist Bridget Brager notes, "This curl cream adds moisture right upon application and creates a protective layer for each ringlet, leaving curls looking vibrant and glossy instead of hard or 'crispy.' I use it on wet hair before diffusing and for taming flyaways on dry hair."

      **Best Scalp Oil**

      **SheaMoisture Rosemary & Vegan Collagen Strengthening Scalp & Hair Oil**

      This adaptable hair oil stimulates follicles beautifully. Apply one to two drops for a daily treatment that won’t leave hair oily, or use a larger amount for a pre-shampoo treatment combined with a soothing scalp massage. We noticed new baby hairs developing over time.

      **Best Shine Treatment**

      **Oribe Mirror Rinse Glass Hair Treatment**

      Experience unparalleled shine with this incredible in-shower treatment that works in just a minute, creating hair that looks as if it belongs in a commercial.

      **Best Dry Shampoo**

      **K18 Biomimetic Hairscience Airwash Dry Shampoo**

      This dry shampoo has even won over skeptics. Though the non-aerosol formula feels somewhat "wet" upon application, the translucent microbeads effectively absorb excess oil without leaving a white, starchy residue. Additionally, it features advanced OdorBind technology to neutralize unwanted odors. Dr. Robinson states, "This lightweight refresher utilizes K18's peptide technology to revive hair between washes, keeping odors and excess oil at bay without compromising moisture. It's perfect for hectic days."

      **Best Mousse**

      **Crown Affair The Texturizing Air Dry Hair Mousse**

      Many have avoided mousse because of memories of stiff, crunchy strands, but this airy formula delivers a touchable hold regardless of how much you use. We refer to it as effortless hair in a bottle.

      **Best Bond Building Treatment**

      **Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate 24/7 Night & Day Hair Serum**

      True to its name, this bond-building serum can be applied around the clock and multiple times a day if desired. We love it as an overnight treatment that results in smoother, shinier hair by morning. Its light, airy texture ensures it won’t leave your hair greasy or stain your pillow.

      **Best Hair Mask for Shine**

      **Fable & Mane Shine Hydrating Hair Mask for Fine to Medium Hair**

      Our editors have raved about this glossing hair mask (the luxurious texture, frizz-taming benefits, and delightful chai scent!), transforming dull hair into shining silk. Dr. Robinson praises it,
