11 Hair Products Every Woman NeedsIs your bathroom a black hole of pastes, pomades, and shine sprays? Here are the only essentials you really need for fabulous hair |
There are currently 2,084 hair products on ulta.com, and I've tried almost all of them.
I'm a beauty editor after all, so this comes with the territory. And while testing every new hair product that hits the market is a serious job perk, the one little downside is that my bathroom is overflowing with flat irons, curl creams, spray foams, scalp exfoliators... you get the drift.
This isn't just a beauty editor's plight, though. Most women I know are on a quest for amazing hair, which leads them to buy and try an obscene amount of hair products.
Click here to see the only 11 hair products you really need.
Obviously we don't need hundreds of hair products. So, to weed through the superfluous and pull out the essentials, we talked to five pros: Celebrity hairstylist Sarah Potempa, celebrity colorist and owner of Juan Juan Salons in Beverly Hills, Calif., Jennifer J., owner of Marco Pelusi Hair Studio in West Hollywood, Calif., Marco Pelusi, Head & Shoulders celebrity hairstylist Sunnie Brook Jones, and celebrity hairstylist David Babaii.
What they gave us: A complete list of the only hair products every woman really needs. Read on to see if you've got everything they recommend and get ready to toss anything else taking up space in your bathroom.

Oh gosh!! word to the wise, never ever buy tresemme fresh start! after following the directions on the back of the bottle step by step my hair turned out even greasier and itchier. Plus it makes your hair white. trust me it does. I have blondish hair with natural undertones and natural highlights and this made me look like i had roots galore! i really wanted to like this product as i usually do with tresemme products but i just had to leave this one behind due to the horrible results.

I'm crazy about hair oils. My favorite hair oil is josie maran argan oil hair serum. Honestly, i'm not too crazy about dry shampoos but maybe it's simply because I have yet to find one that truly does it's job.

Many of the products suggested in this article don't even have any reviews on your site. It seemed as thought the most out-of-this world expensive version was offered and the most cheapest was mentioned. A middle ground product with some actual customer reviews would have made this article relevant.

Pequi oil is very flammable. So I never use it. Especially with heat styling.

Leave in conditioners and dry shampoos are great!
