Editors' Pick Winner: Rahua Hair Wax
Why: This adds defined, piece-y texture and hold but (shocker!) shampoos out easily. Quite simply, we're in love.

Honorable Mention: Tigi Bed Head Up Front Rocking Gel-Pomade

Readers' Choice Winner: Tigi Bed Head Manipulator
Why: "Because of Bed Head Manipulator, I love my curly hair! I have tried almost every product to get the perfect curls and this alone is the bomb. You only need to use about a nickel-sized dollop for medium-to-long hair. I put it on when my hair is still wet, no blow dry and get perfect curls. The little jar lasts me about a month and a half with everyday usage. So it is a great buy in my book!"

Honorable Mention: Paul Mitchell Foaming Pommade

Editors' Pick Winner: Dr. Dennis Gross Root Resilience Anti-Aging Scalp Serum
Why: First, our faces and now, our scalps: We didn't think we needed a dermatologist-created anti-aging treatment for our scalp -- until this came along.

Honorable Mention: Psssst! Clarify & Shine Scalp Treatment

Readers' Choice Winner: Pantene AgeDefy Advanced Thickening Treatment
Why: "I just replaced my husband's usual shampoo and conditioner in the shower with this and after his first use he said, "OK, what's the new stuff you've got me using? Look how much better my hair looks!" Now that he's been using them and the serum daily for a couple of weeks he's even happier with how it's working and I have to agree that his hair actually looks noticeably healthier and thicker! If that's not a glowing recommendation, I don't know what is!"

Honorable Mention: Nioxin System 1 Hair System Kit

Editors' Pick Winner: Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Shampoo
Why: This dirt- and oil-repelling, volumizing shampoo left us begging for more. Quite simply, this breakthrough product is the best shampoo we've tried in years.

Honorable Mention: L'Oréal Paris Professional Mythic Oil Shampoo

Readers' Choice Winner: Dove Nourishing Oil Care Shampoo
Why: "Even with thick, dry hair, this shampoo cleaned and moisturized my waves. Fabulous. I hadn't yet even purchased the conditioner and my hair was left soft and frizz-free. Awesome for a drugstore purchase."

Honorable Mention: Pantene Pro-V Normal-Thick Hair Solutions Smooth Shampoo

Editors' Pick Winner: Vidal Sassoon Pro Series ColorFinity Shampoo
Why: This shampoo's advanced formula seals off strands to protect against the color-fading oxidation process.

Honorable Mention: L'Oréal Paris Advanced Haircare Color Vibrancy Nourishing Shampoo


Readers' Choice Winner: Pureology Hydrate Shampoo
Why: "By far the best shampoo I've ever used. That's right, ever. I've never been able to style my hair using only a blow dryer (and no straightener). Now I can! My hair is so unbelievably smooth! Not only that, but I feel better knowing the ingredients are natural, vegan and actually good for my hair (and body). I've noticed the acne on my back is clearing up since I've started using the Pureology product line. Probably because it's not made from fillers and other crud that clog pores and weigh down hair."

Honorable Mention: Redken Color Extend Shampoo

Editors' Pick Winner: Redken Diamond Oil Shatterproof Shine Intense
Why: A dime-size amount of this serum is all it takes to get a head full of seriously shiny, supermodel-esque hair.

Honorable Mention: Matrix Total Results Blonde Care Flash Filler Sheer Mist

Readers' Choice Winner: Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum
Why: "This is a lifesaver. My damaged hair looks so shiny and radiant after I use this product. Initially, my mother had bought this and let me try it. I was instantly in love. The smell is so fresh, yet subtle and not overbearing so it won't conflict with any perfume you may be wearing. It does last a long time, and has such a smooth feel to it. It's honestly the best product of this category that I've tried."

Honorable Mention: Aveda Brilliant Emollient Finishing Gloss
