The Best Hairstyling Products of 2019

Don't let the name of the product confuse you. While it hydrates like an oil, it's actually a non-hold gel formula that tames frizz and leaves behind a glossy finish without weighing down hair. 

Curls are hydrated thanks to powerful moisturizing ingredients like capuacu butter and Brazil nut oil, while Bumble and bumble's "HydraSculpt Blend" works to provide definition and separation. This award-winner can be used when air drying or with a diffuser, too. 

It's at-home hair color in a box, redefined. This little kit delivers dye (um, there 45+ shades to choose from), activator, shampoo, conditioner, and application accessories (like latex gloves, mini cups, cleansing wipes, etc) for only $25. Bonus: The site offers a quiz that's super helpful in picking the absolute best hair color for you. 

Would you take cupcakes out of the oven without an oven mit? Probably not, so you shouldn't go to town with hot tools without a heat protectant spray for your hair. This one is made with a shockingly lightweight compilation of oils, including argan, coconut, macadamia, and sweet almond, providing ample smoothing and hydrating power. 

This kit makes at-home balayage a reality thanks to a horseshoe-shaped tool, which helps you paint on the color in a way that mimics how the sun would naturally hit (and therefore highlight) your hair. Also included, a toner, which fine-tunes the shade of your choosing. 

Dry shampoo: It's the secret to making a blowout last one more day, or totally skipping a wash because that snooze button is way too tempting. Either way, we suggest reaching for this fast-acting, oil-absorbing, editor-beloved formula. Spray about eight inches away from your roots and gently massage to eliminate any white cast. 

In addition to a blend of shine-enhancing ingredients like jasmine, edelweiss- ower, lychee, sandalwood, cassis, bergamot, and argan extracts, this light oil also holds Oribe's gorgeous signature scent, which basically doubles as perfume.

If your fine hair always falls flat, this award-winning spray belongs in your shopping cart. Activated by heat, the formula uses wheat proteins to give hair lift at the root, helping your hair appear fuller. 

A true haircare multitasker, this protein-packed styling cream provides a boost of hydration, strength, and shine to your hair. While expensive, a little dollop goes a very long way. 

The brainchild of the KarJenner's mane woman (Jen Atkin), we can bet you've seen this little bottle on Instagram. But it's not just famed for its chic and photogenic packaging. The mist enhances the definition of waves as your hair dries naturally. To use it, mist a generous amount on your hair when wet and let it air dry. Scrunch if you want a tousled, messy vibe. 

There's five million frizz-fighting products out there, but most of them are meant to be applied on wet hair. That doesn't really help you at 3 p.m. and right before a big meeting. But Living Proof came to the rescue with this spray, which gets rid of frizz in seconds on dry hair. It's kind of miraculous. The light-as-air spray seals cuticles and provides shine with oils that don't weigh down the hair. 

Elnett is everything, editors and hairstylists agree. This strong-hold spray locks in styles, but it's easily brushed out and won't leave your hair feeling tacky or sticky. Not much compares, honestly.
