Even the most expensive hair product in the world means nothing if it doesn’t address your specific hair needs. From thick to thin and curly to straight, we’ve made a list of the best products for every hair type.

If your hair is CURLY:

Curly haired girls need products that moisturize hair and reduce frizz. Kerastase Nutritive Bain Oleo-Curl Shampoo does just that by blocking humidity and leaving hair perfectly soft and supple. After shampooing, give your curls the moisturizing they need with DevaCurl One Condition. This ultra creamy conditioner provides maximum hydration and work with all types of curly hair. Once out of the shower, look no further than Bumble and Bumble Curl Conscious Defining Creme to keep that wild mane in check all day long.

If your hair is THIN:

It’s hard to have a good hair day when your locks are limp and dull. Add some volume to your hair with Paul Mitchell’s Lemon Sage Thickening Shampoo. This shampoo plumps up fine hair to give you a healthy, voluminous look. Those with thin hair know how difficult it can be to find a conditioner that adds shine without weighing hair down. Kiehl’s Rice & Wheat Volumizing Conditioning Rinse is the perfect balance; it moisturizes hair without being too overbearing. And once you’ve achieved a gorgeous, full-looking head of hair, keep it looking that way all day long with Frederic Fekkai Full Blown Volume Lightweight Styling Whip
