Ali LaBelle

Mane Medium Hot Round Brush

My hair has literally never looked better thanks to this thing. The hype is real!!!

The Belle Brush Smoothing Brush

I have succumbed to Mason Pierson fever before- who could resist that baby pink?- but after watching a Nicola Coughlan beauty routine (natch) I ordered this brush from a small Irish company and it does everything it claims to. Somehow it’s the only brush that makes my hair sleeker, rather than expanding it into one of those wedge of cheese hats people wear at sports games. Plus, it’s roughly 1/6th the price of that premiere snob brush!

Erin Boyle

Conscia Solid Shampoo & Conditioner

not just the best solid shampoo and conditioner, but the best shampoo and conditioner period. smells so good. works so well. it's not cheap and so i sometimes try to quit it, but i always come crawling back for more. (20% off with the code ERINBOYLE)

Mia

Phyto CURLS Gel-Cream 150ml

just found out my hair is not just wavy & frizzy. made my hair dry into perfect curls, not crispy, no frizz & i didn’t do any steps other than scrunching this into sections of my hair :) very nice

Ali LaBelle

Undo No. 1.5 Claw Clip

I genuinely cannot express how much I love my Undo clips. The 1.5 size is the perfect size for someone with a bob (me), and they feel sturdy and fancy and come in the best colors.

Samin

Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel

My gel soulmate. I use it in the shower after leave in conditioner or hair balm, add it to SOPPING WET hair, and it helps curls stay cool, prevents unwanted frizz, and extends the lifespan between washes. (I really notice a difference here when I use any other gel.) I don’t know why it’s so good, but it is.

Silverplated Calla Lily Hair Pin

She thinks Georgia O’Keefe “had it all figured out,” has a Mary Oliver quote stuck above her desk and is in a legal battle with her neighbor because she refuses to trim the branches of her Bottlebrush tree that straddles the property line.

Katie Bowes

Petit Vented Brush

I have never owned a Yves Durif brush but word on the street is they are THE BEST in the universe.

Alyssa Coscarelli

Arrowroot Dry Shampoo - Talc & Alcohol Free | Ceremonia

Just as effective as it is cute! This dry shampoo powder is dispensed through this adorable little puff. Small enough to throw in your purse or gym bag. Smells so good! Loving this for second day hair/bangs.

Samin

New Wash RICH

Takes a minute to learn to use properly, (I wish they said on the bottle to have your hair SOPPING wet before using, and then to WAIT two minutes before trying to detangle) but once you do, nothing else will do for curly hair.

Hannah Harvey

Oribe Hair Care Impermeable Anti-Humidity Spray

i have pin-straight heavy slippery hair that defies all manner of texturizing and hold sprays. BUT! this one will keep my hair styled for days, even in nyc summer when the air is 80% water. can never be without it

80s Squiggle Hair Claw Clip in Tortoise Sage

She loves Memphis furniture, misses her chunky 90s cordless phone and would enjoy making out with a Safdie brother.

Lauren Servideo

r&co dry shampoo paste

Wait how did I not post this til now?? Holy grail and $23 for a tub that will last you at least a year. This is necessary if you have fine hair and also if you have bangs. Not sure how they did this and in all my years of amateur beauty testing, I’ve never come across another paste as effective as this for giving me the clean grit I want for my hair. USE SPARINGLY!

Samin

Olaplex Hydration Mask

I don’t mind the color of my new gray hair friends, but the crazy texture makes me crazy. This helps hydrate and tame them a bit.

Geren

BondiBoost Clarifying Scalp & Hair Rinse

Full disclosure I was gifted this and also full disclosure I have already ordered a replenishment. Feels like an extra step in the mix for haircare but I've found over the two months I have been adding this layer to my wash and soften routine that my scalp & hair are so much lighter and softer. I have been on location in Canada with a sauna in our cottage and have been going off label to apply before a 15 min sauna and it's FANTASTIC. Take this to the gym, or if you're lucky enough to have a haamam or sauna use it there. I like the rest of their range as well and will keep it as a part of my rotation but THIS is a superstar...

Spine Hair Clip

She’s not a regular trauma surgeon, she’s a cool trauma surgeon

Eleven Miracle Hair

Curly hair wonder product from Australia, lovely lightweight leave-in conditioner that weighs down my curls. Pop it in my gym bag as a catch all hair product. The scent is young and summery. IMO the pump bottle is better than the spray bottle.

Samin

Inexpensive Curl Brushes

One in the shower, one in my travel kit, one in my swim bag. They detangle without pulling out your hair! I won’t get my hair wet unless I have one around. (Sorry for Amazon link! I’ve also found similar brushes at Marshall’s/TJ Maxx)

Dylan

Weleda Revitalising Hair Tonic

a few drops of this rosemary goodness for hair and scalp health!

Londyn Harris

Taliah Waajid Curly Curl Cream

THE BEST. If I were to use only 1 hair product forever it would be this one. It’s one of the only leave in conditioners I’ve found that keeps my hair soft and moisturized for days, and I never need to use a gel with it because it does such a good job defining my curls and minimizing frizz. I am obsessed.

Peyton Dix

OUAI Anti-Frizz Curl Styling Cream

A bit of a heavier leave in but curls will be BOUNCY and HYDRATED and smell like the beach beach lets go get away. People forget smelling good is a full body experience. It’s not just about what’s on your neck or inner wrists. It’s all over and being close enough to get a whiff of someone’s hair is just sexy to me. This blends so well with the rest of the scents in this collection.

The Quarrelsome

The Harlequin combs from Officine Universal Buly are so happy-making. The Quarrelsome is best for my hair, but there are lots of options. I once gave personalized combs to every family member for the holidays. They come in pretty velvet pouches.
