There's no better feeling than going to the hair salon looking like an absolute mess and knowing that you're going to walk out a new person.

We can't think of a trend that's had a more meteoric rise than barrettes in 2019. They're suddenly everywhere: on the red carpet, on the runway and most definitely on your Instagram feed. Picture a way to wear them and it probably exists; whether that means stacking pearl-studded clips, velvet bows or even oversized rhinestone confections that wouldn't look out of place on Queen Elizabeth I (yes, I).

For soft, manageable, beautiful strands, it's important to choose the best leave-in conditioner for your hair type. A good leave-in conditioner can help detangle strands, reduce fly-aways, tame frizz and keep curls soft and smooth; a leave-in conditioner that's too heavy can weigh it down or leave it looking greasy.

As the start of spring draws near, you're probably dreaming of a fresh new cut or an exciting new hair color to welcome the warmer weather. No matter how short or bright you go, it's important to have the right products on hand to help maintain your new look. And while there are definitely some go-to hair products we all rely on, a host of ingenious new options have already launched this year. Read on for 11 new hair products that will definitely help you start spring with a bang.
Changing your hair color is a great way to freshen up your look for a new season and rainbow hair colors like rose gold remain popular choices. But let's be real: Heading to the salon for a trendy dye job is expensive and time-consuming. After all, shades like rose gold and pastel mint fade fast, so you're looking at regular touch-ups. Luckily, there is a solution and it involves minimal effort (or money) from you. We're talking about temporary hair color sprays.
We all love getting pampered at the salon, but when we're trying to save a few bucks, only the best at-home hair color products will do. We don't want a disaster on our hands that ends up costing even more than if we'd just gone to the salon in the first place, right?
Is it just us, or have collarbone cuts been everywhere lately? From your favorite stars to the runways, the versatile look has definitely been making the rounds over the past few months. It's easy to see why, too — the look is so versatile; it works on just about everyone. Plus, it's not as much of a commitment as a bob or a pixie, but still feels like a major chop.
Frizzy hair does not discriminate. Whether it's winter or summer, humid as hell or painfully dry, it affects everyone — no matter what type of hair you happen to have. Gaining control over those pesky flyaways and unwanted horizontal volume takes some practice, patience, and yes, some kickass products. But do you need to spend oodles on said products? According to the three celebrity hairstylists we spoke to, the answer is a resounding, "Nah." Here are some of their favorite frizz-fighting hair products... and not a single one will give you sticker shock.
There are few things more key in life than a good hair tie. Those little black elastics have been a permanent fixture on our wrists for years now: Dependable and always ready to swoop in and save the day whenever you need to get your hair out of your face.
If you thought tangled and dry locks were only a summer issue, think again: Damaged hair knows no season and if you're noticing split, frayed ends, it's a telltale sign you need to give your hair more TLC. Often caused by pollution, extreme weather conditions, and heat styling, split ends are all but inevitable — unless your beauty cabinet is stocked with the right products to treat and prevent them, of course.
Looking to upgrade your hairstyle for Valentine's Day this year? We've rounded up some truly gorgeous looks from the red carpet, worn by some of your favorite celebs. Keep reading for some next-level hairstyle ideas, from simple half-up styles, to polished updos (and some satin bows and diamond barrettes, of course).
Feeling that seasonal urge to switch your hair color? It's all about cool, deep shades of brunette for winter, warm mahoganies for fall, honeyed highlights in summer — you know the drill. And now, in the early months of 2019, it's time for something entirely different: Bright white, to be specific.
Look, it happens to the best of us: Even when you're trying to stay organized, the hair products can start to pile up. It's those hairsprays that are pretty good (you know, not as good as your favorite, but too good to be thrown out). That fancy conditioner that you never use (but cost $30 so you feel guilty about trashing it). The heat protectant spray you save for "special occasions" (even though you haven't blow dried your hair in years). Sometimes it piles up so fast, it almost feels as if it's somehow procreating.
Those of us with curly hair know it can be both a blessing and a curse. When it behaves, nothing's better than having a head full of perfect ringlets or waves that cascade over your shoulders. But when it's acting ornery or piqued — look out. Thirsty, frizzy, stressed-out curly hair is never pretty. And when we try to wrestle those same misbehaving curls into submission, it only makes things worse. (Because, really, the only thing that looks worse than fried curls are fried curls that have been further fried in an attempt to make them behave.)
Frequent heat styling (not to mention color touch-ups!) can leave your locks feeling brittle and lifeless. And while a good chop can definitely help, it's also wise to rev up your hair care game and invest in some restorative and strengthening products. Seriously, the right products can leave your ends feeling as good as new: Silky, shiny, soft... the whole nine yards.
