The Drugstore Hair Products You Need, According to InStyle's Beauty Team

"Confession: My name is Erin and I’m addicted to heat styling. Since I can’t bear to part with my hot tools, I spritz on this protective spray before styling to prevent damage and frizz. I love that it doesn’t leave behind any product build up or residue which can make strands feel and look dirty,."—Erin Lukas, Beauty Writer

"This stuff is a dream when it comes to lifting the gunk out of my second-day hair, as opposed to superficially masking it. Plus, there’s virtually zero product build-up, no matter how many times a day I spritz."—Dianna Mazzone, Assistant Beauty Editor

"I discovered this stuff by accident last year during a trip to Ireland. I had accidentally left the dry shampoo I was currently using at home, so I picked this up at a nearby drugstore, and it's been my go-to ever since. I love how the product absorbs oil on contact, but still leaves my layers soft enough to run my fingers through. The sweet cherry fragrance is a nice touch, but is subtle, so it won't clash with the fragrance you're wearing."—Marianne Mychaskiw, Associate Beauty Editor

"If you've yet to experience the wonders that coconut oil can do for you beauty-wise, this shampoo and conditioner combo is the perfect gateway for adding the oil into your routine. Aside from smelling absolutely divine, thanks to said coconut oil, it leaves you with the softest hair ever."—Erin Lukas, Beauty Writer

"I'm a pretty big fan of coconut oil in its raw form—it seriously fixes every hair or skin issue out there—so I love that Suave's oil treatment is infused with the stuff, especially considering that it keeps my dry ends fused together. I like to apply a few drops to wet hair as preventative armor against the dryer, then run a few more drops through after styling to amp up the shine."—Marianne Mychaskiw, Associate Beauty Editor

"If you ask me, Pantene’s Expert Collection holds it own against products in the double-digits. I apply the Intense Hydration Conditioner like a mask on days when my fine, fragile strands feel particularly parched."—Dianna Mazzone, Assistant Beauty Editor

"The perfect hybrid between a gel and a cream, this versatile product smooths my waves and gives it some hold without it getting crunchy or greasy."—Sheryl George, Beauty Editor
