Of all things, your hair — the first part of you anyone sees, even with your back turned — is worth the investment. Whether you keep it short and bleached or flowing and Gisele-like, we’ve put together an assemblage of products and accessories to keep it looking its best, from the detangling brush that clears the rattiest knots to the dry spray that gives even lifeless hair immediate texture.

The best hair dryer is whisper-quiet, dries quickly without burning your scalp, and has the sleek good looks of a Dyson vacuum.

We went and found the 12 best shampoos on Amazon, from ones for curly hair and thinning hair to dry shampoos and shampoos for blondes.

Writer Hannah Morrill loves the affordable Not Your Mother’s Dry Shampoo: “Not Your Mother’s Clean Freak Dry Shampoo has a clean and neutral scent, so if you’re layering it atop stale, smoky, or sweaty hair, you’re covered. My hair is immediately un-shiny and degreased, though not in a showy, starchy, or stiff way. Rather than feeling heavy or chock full of product, it feels clean and smooth, not unlike, well, if I’d actually bothered to wash it.”

A thick, concentrated conditioner full of gooshy stuff like macadamia glycerides, keratin, and grape-seed extract, the best hair mask offers intense hydration for damaged, thick hair.

The best curling iron works much faster than any other curling iron (usually about 25 minutes for the whole head), without any frizziness (the wand emits negative ions that block moisture absorption), and the style lasts.

This stuff instantly — as in, with just one blowout — made one writer’s processed, hay-like hair silky, shiny, and non-crunchy.

Actress Aubrey Plaza carries this bottle with her everywhere to give her super-straight hair volume and coarseness.

A drugstore dry shampoo that works just as well as — if not better than — pricier options, this dispenses in a fine mist that easily absorbs any hair oil without a fine white coat of George Washington wig powder.

We found a lower temperature flat iron that helps preserve hair color while creating straightness that lasts for days — it’s even been used on Gigi Hadid.
