32 Hair Products That Are Basically Bottles Of Magic
An Ogx leave-in conditioning cream to apply to your towel-dried hair for a magic trick. *Voila*, defined, bouncy curls that'll put a little extra pep in your step because of the way your curls bounce when you walk.
A bottle of TikTok-famous Elizavecca hair treatment that contains ceramides and collagen to help give your hair shine and make it smooth in just five minutes. This stuff is *chef's kiss* mixed with a little witchcraft and seriously rivals the famous Olaplex treatment.
A Moroccanoil treatment to hydrate your beautiful mane. This detangling, conditioning, and smoothing oil will increase shine and have you spotlight-ready. You should probz start making space in your phone for all the BOMB selfies you'll be taking once you start using this stuff. And careful, people might start calling you a witch once they see your hair transformation.
Mielle's (TikTok-famous) Rosemary Mint strengthening oil made with biotin and moisturizing oils like jojoba, rosemary, and mint that can help stimulate and nourish your scalp while also strengthening and promoting hair growth at the root. I know they said a magic flower grew Rapunzel's hair, but let's be serious, it was probz this stuff.
Some Cécred shampoo and conditioner for anyone whose hair is practically *begging* for some extra hydration. The hyaluronic acid-infused shampoo + the conditioner (which is packed with lightweight, nourishing oils) will leave your hair smooth, shiny, and easy to detangle. Plus, the conditioner only has to stay in your hair for one minute to work its magic (instead of 3–5 minutes, like most other conditioners). Wash day just got much easier and quicker.
I have both of these, and they're both 100,000/10. I've had them for a while (and loved them), and I only used them when my hair was curly, but I just used this magical combo to straighten my hair for the first time, and omg omg omg. Guyssss, my hair has never ever looked/felt better. I ran out of my ol' faithful Chi shampoo and conditioner, which I normally use when I'm gonna straighten my hair, and in such a mid-shower crisis, I thought *What the heck, let me use my Cécred products instead and just hope for the best*. I was absolutely SHOOK when I straightened my hair and it turned out bone-straight and silky. The results are, dare I say, better than my favorite reliable seven-year shampoo and conditioner. The products smell incredible, and my hair feels extremely clean after washing with these. Annnnd, my hair feels SO moisturized. I feel like after washing with Chi products, my hair looks and feels suuuuper dry. But with the Cécred shampoo and conditioner, my hair didn't even need moisturizer or anything, but I def added my Cécred nourishing oil to set things off, make my hair smell like literal heaven, and add a lil' extra moisture and shine. This shampoo + conditioner combo is literally the definition of perfection. They work the shampoo from Cécred for $16+ (available in two sizes) or Ulta for $31 and the conditioner from Cécred for $16+ (available in two sizes) or Ulta for $31.
An Arctic Fox semi-permanent hair dye so you can switch up your color after you make that drastic decision to dye your hair because you had a bad day. Happens to the best of us. It's made without peroxide and ammonia to help avoid damaging your strands and works best on pre-lightened hair, although many reviewers say it somehow gives a pretty nice tint to dark hair, too! One word: sorcery.
Or a Kristin Ess Rose Gold Temporary Tint for anyone with commitment issues and the desire to constantly have a new 'do. Just spray this on your wet hair after shampooing, wait two minutes, rinse, and — *voila* — beautiful rose gold locks for the next two to three washes. As Ariana Grande says, it's just like magic.
A Brazilian keratin treatment that'll make Glinda look like an amateur. You'll get all the perks of a professional one — soft, shiny locks for up to six months, reduced frizz, and salon-quality results, but minus the harsh chemicals. Who's been rubbin' genie lamps, cuz that's the only logical explanation for how well this stuff works.
A Cantu curling cream made with coconut oil, shea butter, almond oil, avocado oil, olive oil, and mango seed butter — all the things your hair finds yummy and hydrating. Hair's at that ~ehh stage~ after washing and drying? Bring those curls back to life like the Sanderson sisters brought back Billy Butcherson without needing to re-wash or consult with a spell book.
A sulfate-free biotin shampoo with tons of 5-star ratings from people who swear by its effectiveness. It works on all hair types, including colored hair. This stuff can help stimulate hair growth and make your hair look thicker with regular use. Starting to believe Mr. Potter had something to do with this one.
An Xmondo color-depositing hair mask by Brad Mondo to keep your hair color looking oh so fresh. If you hate when your bold, vibrant hair starts to look all dull, but don't wanna dye it and cause damage every other month, this is def the holy grail product you've been searching for. It helps lock in water molecules to retain moisture and restores damaged fibers to strengthen dry hair, all while taking your faded mane and making it look freshly dyed again.
Promising review: "Wow, color me impressed! I was hesitant to buy this because, most of the time, anytime a celeb or influencer comes out with their own line of anything, it's mediocre nonsense. But I was swayed after reading the reviews. I had grey hair in the past and used Overtone and another big brand name that you can get at Ulta, and they did an okay job at helping me keep the grey in between salon toner visits. I just recently went back to grey again, and this time, I thought I'd try this one to help between salon visits. Applying it was easy, and I left it on for 20 minutes. As soon as I started washing it out, I was EXTREMELY surprised by just how darn soft my hair was! It's not lying when it calls itself a mask because it rivaled my other hair masks in my bathroom. Better than my Sol de Janeiro mask and better than my Coco & Eve mask. I also noticed that it wasn't straining my bathtub or tiles, nor making a big purple mess, which was not the case in the past with other purple 'pigment depositing' grey hair masks. Overall, I'm SO pleased! Brad really pulled it off. Not only is the color output very much like it advertises it will give, but it's not lying when it says it's a nourishing hair mask. Cheers to Brad Mondo!" —DanaGet it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in 14 shades).
A Briogeo leave-in conditioning spray that'll help you say *au revoir* to that frizz!

A well-loved "defunk" spray by Uncle Funky's Daughter with lavender, some sort of magic potion, and rosemary to get rid of hair odor without absorbing your hair's natural oils.

Promising review: "I never write reviews, but this stuff is too good. Postpartum hair loss and the unruly regrowth had me looking like Hagrid from Harry Potter. I was looking for something to improve my overall hair health so I could live out my hot mom dreams, but I hate the feeling of product in my hair. The vitamin essence was marketed as being 'weightless', so I took a leap of faith, and WOW. First of all, everything about this stuff is luxurious, even the packaging. I love that you can use it on wet or dry hair. I used it on my dry, sweaty, post-workout hair and then ran my styling brush over it, and the before and after is alarmingly good. Even after the first use, my hair just FEELS healthier. And the best part is that it genuinely does not feel like I have any product in my hair. Zero grease, zero build-up feeling. Is it cheesy to call it 'liquid gold'? Whatever, I'm doing it anyway. Liquid golddddd." —KelliGet it from Amazon for $21.
An Eden BodyWorks leave-in conditioner to moisturize your tresses and clump your curls together for some impressive, bouncy curls, no sorcery involved. You'll be doing Beyoncé hair flips all day.
Mane Club One Hit Wonder — a 10-in-1 spray that LITERALLY does it all, but won't cost you the price of 10 products. Like, you know how the witches in AHS: Coven had to pass all of the Seven Wonders tests to become the Supreme? Yeah, this stuff is the Fiona Goode of hair products. It'll detangle, take care of frizz and split ends, and provide heat protection (up to 445 degrees).
A conditioning spray by Honest to help you untangle your hair and leave it smelling like orange and vanilla, mmm, heavenly. It's made with a blend of argan oil, shea butter, and quinoa extract for some seriously soft locks.
A wildly popular Nizoral anti-dandruff shampoo that uses ketoconazole 1% (could be some sort of magical potion but is *actually* an antifungal) to relieve your itchy scalp and help fight dandruff. Ah, just imagine — hair without those dreadful flakes. No more scratching your head and wondering if anyone else saw the lil' snow showers that fell from your scalp (we're all guilty of this).
John Frieda Midnight Brunette shampoo to help make dull brown hair look more vibrant and glossy. This'll help lock in some much-needed moisture and then bam! Rich, lustrous hair.
