Best for Curly Hair

Leave-in Conditioner Cream: ELEVEN Australia Miracle Hair Treatment


Curly hair often craves moisture and can be prone to frizz. Enter: a leave-in conditioner cream. This miracle worker boosts hydration, detangles, and softens, giving you more defined curls and less frizz. Look for creams containing amino acids and nourishing oils to help lock in that much-needed moisture.

Avoid using harsh sulfates and silicones in your haircare routine to help maintain your curly hair's health and bounce. Instead, look for products with natural, nourishing ingredients that won't weigh your curls down.

Best for fine hair

Volumising Spray: Kevin Murphy Bedroom.Hair


If you have fine hair, your goals might include reducing frizz, boosting volume, and keeping oiliness at bay. A volumising spray can help achieve this by adding texture and hold. Look for light formulations and apply to hair that's at least 50% dry (ideally closer to 80%) to prevent dilution.

Fine hair can easily get weighed down by heavy products. Opt for lightweight conditioners, mousses, and serums specifically designed for fine hair. Remember to focus on the roots when applying volumising products to avoid making your hair look greasy or flat.

Best for straight hair

Shampoo & Conditioner Duo: O&M Original & Mineral Hydrate & Conquer Shampoo & Conditioner


Straight hair can sometimes struggle with dryness, frizz, and falling flat. A shampoo and conditioner duo containing argan oil and keratin can be your saving grace. Argan oil moisturises and promotes healthy scalp regeneration, while keratin strengthens and smooths hair, giving you a sleek, shiny look.

To avoid heat damage, let your hair air-dry as much as possible and use heat protection sprays when styling with hot tools. Regular trims will also help prevent split ends and keep your straight hair looking healthy and smooth.

Best for coarse hair

Hair Balm: Aesop Rose Hair & Scalp Moisturising Masque


Coarse hair often boasts beautiful volume but can also suffer from dryness, breakage, and frizz. A hair balm deeply penetrates the hair shaft to repair damage and quench dryness. Apply after washing to lock in moisture, reduce frizz, smooth strands, and boost shine.

Coarse hair can benefit from regular deep conditioning treatments to maintain hydration and combat dryness. Also, consider using a wide-tooth comb instead of a brush when detangling your hair to prevent breakage and damage.

Whether you have curly, fine, straight, or coarse hair, these must-have hair products, along with a few helpful tips, can help you get the most out of your haircare routine. Your hair deserves the best, and investing in the right products will ensure it stays looking and feeling fantastic.
