Redken Elastic Works 09$17.99Redken Elastic Works 09 gives wavy hair well-defined curls that manage to stay bouncy and soft, not crispy or crunchy. I applied it to damp hair and diffused while scrunching. Surprisingly, my waves came out as loose curls that were low on frizz, as opposed to kinky curls that were stiff or frizzy. Straight hair types can u...More

Help can be found in this mid-weight curl-defining lotion, which consolidates smaller curls into smoother, defined sections. As hair dries, a wheat protein/aloe mix contracts to hold cur...More

Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream with Pure Olive Oil$26.50Instead of coating hair in a slick shine like the name suggests, a recommended pea-sized amount (I used two) of this olive oil-based leave-in conditioner softens, shines and moisturizes without weighing strands down. Missing from the petite tube are the smell and greasy finish associated with UVA/UVB sunscreen. The cream is...More

Alterna Hemp Straightening Balm$12.90This light lotion is a safe option for O.D.-ers who just can't stop at a nickel-sized dollop of straightening cream (like me). Worked through wet curls before a blow-dry, it renders hair slippery and round-brushable without an oily silicone effect; my blow-out remained nicely un-wavy all day. As for claims its hemp seed oil...More

Aveda Brilliant Universal Styling Creme$16.00"Universal"? Um, only if you live in a universe full of coarse-haired people. If you do, apply this thick cream to dry hair to infuse with moisture and shine via coconut, aloe and jojoba, plus a mega dose of that classic Aveda scent (people always comment -- it's that sniff-tastic). For those wi...More

Alberto VO5 Extreme Style Weightless Volumizing Mousse$4.29Big hair that holds overnight -- really. Applying this fragrant mousse is both fun and awkward; mild pressure on the whipped-cream-can tip releases a puff of mousse the size of a lemon. (You'll need three of those.) Unless you spray directly on roots (beware product overload), it can be challenging to work mousse into roots...More
