What would you give to know which hair products are going to bring you amazing results, without all the waste of precious money and time trying out a range of expensive options? Stand on the shoulders of intrepid women who have experimented before you and check out these tried-and-true splurge-worthy hair products. Great hair is sometimes all you need to have an upbeat attitude and a successful day, so add some of these worthwhile products into your hair regimen before tomorrow and feel your spirits rise.

Hairbrush

You may be surprised to learn that something as simple as a hairbrush, with no heat and no chemicals, is important to splurge on, but it’s true! Even when we give our hair a break from other products, we still brush it, and each brushing brings potential for serious breakage. You need a brush that stimulates the scalp for new growth and disseminates the natural oils from your head throughout your hair. The most recommended brush is the Mason Pearson brush, which you can find for $151 at Neiman Marcus.

Flat Iron

You have likely heard from numerous stylists and websites how important it is to have a quality heating product. Poorly constructed irons and curlers can cause immense amounts of damage. Even if they don’t, they won't deliver that smooth, professional style you wanted. Don’t waste another morning wrangling a cheap flat iron and getting frustrated. Spend money on a quality flat iron, like one with ceramic plates. The GHD Classic Styler Ceramic Hair Straightener for $185 at Folica can iron out any curls, or give your tresses a fun flip, depending upon your style, safely.

Hairdryer

Whether you go curly or straight, the hair dryer is likely your first styling tool after showering. Just like with the flat iron, this hot temperature product can vary widely in safety and effectiveness. A prime hairdryer will minimize the heat damage and keep your drying time brief. The SEDU Revolution Pro 4000I Dryer, for $160, is one of the fastest dryers on the market. It doesn’t hurt that its small shape makes it easy to travel with and store.

Oil

If you've never tried it, get yourself some Morocconoil Oil Treatment immediately and bask in the results. Rich in argan oil, just a little bit of this product will give you silky tresses that are free from frizz. At $40.80 a bottle, this long-lasting addition to your haircare will not disappoint.

Styling Cream

Smoothing your hair into that perfect style can be a challenge made even more frustrating when your hair product fails and your style falls apart. Don’t let this keep happening to you! Invest in quality styling products to keep your hair obeisant and gorgeous. The Shu Uemura Art of Hair Cotton Uzu Defining Flexible Cream, for $38, gives strong hold without turning your hair into a sticky, inflexible helmet. If you have a short haircut, curls that need defining, or piece-y bangs, then this is a splurge product you cannot live without.
