Best for: Karlie Kloss-esque Babylights
L'Oreal Superior Preference Glam Lights, $12.99

This highlighting system is virtually goof-proof, thanks to the handy applicator brush that lets you precisely control where the color goes. Instead of chunky, thick, dated highlights, you get fine, natural-looking highlights that brighten your face.

Revlon Luxurious ColorSilk Buttercream, $5.99

Four fresh shades (a blonde, a copper, a rich purple-toned brown and a light brown) give new life to this permanent hair color. The ammonia-free formula contains argan oil, plus a nourishing trio of mango, coconut and shea butters, so hair is left silky soft and conditioned.

Vidal Sassoon Salonist, $13.99

The latest color from Vidal Sassoon features a two-step process that treats the roots and the ends of hair separately. The cream comes ready with the right concentration to use on roots. Simply add the serum before applying to the ends of hair to create balanced color.

Best for: Semi-Permanent Mermaid Hair
Garnier Color Styler, $7.99

I've been in love with the idea of pink hair since I saw Rachel McAdams' colorful streaks back in 2007. Now, everyone from Katy Perry to January Jones has tried out colorful, Rainbow Brite-esque hair -- but I still can't bring myself to commit to A) permanent pink color or B) the cost it would take to get it in the salon. That's where this kit comes in.

The process is easy enough: Put on the gloves (included), then use your fingers to work the color through your hair. Let dry and brush through. After a few washes, the color fades away. And ladies with dark hair take note: You don't need to bleach or lighten your hair to see results.

Best for: Eradicating Gray Hair
Clairol Age Defy, $9.99

Gray hair is notoriously hard to dye -- that's why this kit comes with a pre-treatment that smoothes hair and helps the color saturate each strand. And the formula contains the brand's trademark ColorSeal conditioner, which helps diminish other signs of hair aging (coarseness, dullness and frizziness).
