Sarah's picks

BEST FOR STRAW LOCKS
AG Split End Spa Repair Serum ($24 aghaircosmetics.com) The first time I used this unassuming travel-sized product, my crispened, bleached-blond straw was noticeably shinier and smoother. In fact, when I ran my fingers through my lid of golden locks, it felt strangely similar to um... what's the word I'm looking for? Oh yeah, hair! Shine on, my fellow fried-haired sisters, shine on!

BEST SYSTEM FOR PARCHED PELTS
Bumble and BUmble Quenching Line (#38-48 bumbleandbumble.com) The label says for "terribly thirsty hair." I was skeptical. After all, in the last two years, I've gone from blonde, to red, and back to blond. For those of you haven't tried that before: Don't. It's murder on your hair. Anyhoo, this hydration system is the best I've found so far. It infused my lackluster hair with just enough luster to make it almost look real again.

Steph's Picks

BEST FOR BIG BLOWERS
The Smoothie by Blo ($24.95 blomedry.com) The Smoothie, smoothing cream gives hair that salon polish from home. Mmm, and even smells like home (when you're baking lemon tarts). It works best on wet hair and can be used to smooth out sleek looks or create soft touchable curls. TP TIPS: Hair should always be touchable or no one will ever play with it.

BEST OF OUTDOOR GODDESSES
Oribe 24K Gold Pomade ($55) and Curl by Definition ($54 oribe.com) Curl by Definition helped to transform my naturally frizzy mess into some pretty sweet-looking, sexy waves. But most impressive is the 24k Gold Pomade. Even on dark hair, it adds this beautiful golden goddess-y shimmer. It comes with directions: Add string bikini and dark sunglasses. (Soon, very soon.)
