Your hair is one of the first things that people notice about you, so we know the value of having perfectly presentable tresses 24/7. In the sea of hair products that promise you lustrous locks worthy of a shampoo commercial stint, it's hard to find the best one that will work for your hair type. To make good hair days an everyday possibility for you, we came up with the Female Network Hair Awards last year. On its second year, we road-tested over a hundred bottles and tubs of hair products to discover the real champions of silky, smooth hair.
For the first part of Female Network Hair Awards, we list down the top shampoos, conditioners, and hair treatments. Read on to find out which should be in your hair arsenal!
