Oribe Power Drops Hydration & Anti-Pollution Booster, $58
Ever wish you could give the hair products you already know and love that extra boost of protection? Now you can. These supercharged, highly-concentrated serums can amplify the protective powers of your current hair care products. This version (they also make drops for Damage Repair and Color Preservation) provides a deep dose of hydration and defense against environmental pollution while delivering much-needed conditioning. Add a few drops to your existing styling product or use alone on damp hair. Either way, to quote Olivia Pope, "It's handled."
Lubricity Labs S Total Style 10-in-1 Styling Cream, $19.20
Sometimes you need a product to do it all, and this styling cream is certainly up to the challenge. Heat protection? Check. Adds shine? You bet. Protects hair from heat styling with providing lasting hold? Oh yes. Not only does this hard-working product smooth, prevent frizz, detangle, condition and strengthen, it also blocks external pollutants from wrecking your hair. Oh, and it works for all hair types and it's safe for chemically-treated and colored hair. In short, you probably need it.
The best thing you can do about pollutants is to get them off your hair and scalp before they can do more damage by clogging pores and continue their free radical reign of terror on your strands (well, maybe not that serious, but you get the idea). This shampoo, named for the best day of the week, is intended to provide a once-weekly dose of deep cleaning that removes accumulated pollutants, debris, product, dirt and oil with an astringent mix of Panax ginseng root, rosemary and sage leaf extracts. It leaves behind a cleaner scalp and a great start to the week for your hair.
Kiehl's Olive Fruit Oil Deeply Repairative Hair Pak, $25
Pollution-damaged hair is in desperate need of hydration and repair, so keep a mask on hand to repair and restore ASAP. This hair treatment is just what you need: packed with avocado and olive fruit oil, it delivers moisture and restores strength and shine for a healthy appearance. Used regularly after a good cleansing regimen, it can help prevent future damage from environmental stresses and, you know, that regular styling routine.
Pollution-sacked hair is dry and overworked (we tend to like those hot styling tools, regardless of our environment) and this rich, nourishing shampoo is the cure. The formula is packed with a deeply nourishing blend of vitamins and moisturizers that deliver conditioning along with lustrous shine, while litchi extract protects hair from pollution damage as well as oxidative stress. Hair is left shinier, cleaner, stronger, better.
