For defined, effortless-looking waves, contained curls, or some conditioning hold for a blowout, look no further. John Masters’ leave-in conditioning mist with green tea and calendula hydrates the strands upon contact, easing tangles, taming frizz, and protecting hair from the elements. Spritz generously on clean, wet hair and comb through before styling.

It’s not perfume, but it could be—the beautiful blend of essential oils in Reverie's styling balm will give you that good-hair smell and add some hold to locks, too. The texture is more whipped than dense, which makes it perfect for hair of all thicknesses. Add a small amount to your palms, rub them together, and distribute product on the ends of damp or dry hair.

Perfect for all hair types, Rahua’s leave-in treatment works triple duty, adding shine and texture to lackluster strands while nourishing them. With its rich, creamy consistency, a little goes a long way, the palo santo scent will give you an aromatherapeutic boost. Add a little to midshaft and ends for an effortless, undone look, or for a more put-together feel, it's perfect for smoothing fly-aways.

Made free from sulfates, parabens, synthetic fragrances, phthalates, and triclosan, the dead sea salt and essential oils in this spray work to refresh second-day strands. While it purports to be a dry shampoo and salt-spray hybrid, it becomes a different product entirely. The lemongrass is revitalizing, the salt provides a light hold, and plant extracts breathe a little bouncy revival into limp, deflated waves.

Made without parabens, silicones, alcohols, and dyes, Love Beauty and Planet’s hair spray is vegan, cruelty-free and Earth-friendly. The mist itself is powered by air pressure rather than flammable greenhouse gasses, excludes animal products and all animal testing, and is formulated with ethically sourced jasmine, organic coconut oil, and natural coconut milk. The coconut oil acts as a natural de-frizzing agent while coconut milk nourishes the hair. This is an excellent, more natural alternative to traditional hair spray.

It's not your typical hair oil—Playa's ritual hair oil is more like a serum. A beachy-smelling blend of coconut, kukui, sunflower seed, and apricot oils provide a nutritive but light flexibility to the hair, making it perfect for piecey, loose waves or tight coils alike. Not only does it add movement and shine, but it protects the hair from elements like sand, salt, sea, chlorine, and environmental stressors.

While R+Co isn’t 100 percent natural, it’s the best silicone-free shine-inducing spray we have ever tried! Evening primrose, olive, andiroba seed, and marula seed oils give the hair a protective coating without any sticky silicones, and it imparts a woodsy, gender-neutral scent that makes this a favorite among everybody. Use it to finish styled ‘dos or add a bit of luster to dull hair on the daily. 

Neon Lights Dry Oil Spray, R+Co ($29)

Honey and hair typically don’t mix, but this oil by This Is Comb is a glorious exception. The manuka honey is delivered by way of manuka-infused olive oil—so it’s not at all sticky—and is strengthened by manuka oil, which is extracted from the manuka tree. Combined with other plant-based oils like jojoba seed, broccoli seed, lavender extract, and rosemary, this oil nourishes the hair without weighing it down. Use a little on wet hair, on the ends of dry hair, or to tame frizz and flyaways.

The Oil, This Is Comb, $79

A hair gel that never reads crunchy, yet it offers a strong, flexible hold. Organic honey acts as a natural resin for your strands, while aloe vera provides some slip and keeps the strands silky. Rooibos tea, nettle extract, and rosemary extract also offer antioxidant benefits and shine. Work the mixture on damp hair from root to tip, then air-dry or style as desired.

I Create Hold, Innersense ($26)

This curl-enhancing cream contains chia seed oil, shea butter, and flaxseed oil for their moisturizing, nourishing benefits, as well as rice amino acids to seal down the cuticle and prevent frizz. The texture, true to its name, is a thick custard-y confection—but your curls will look shiny and effortlessly springy, never sticky or heavy.

Curl Charisma Chia + Flax Seed Coil Custard, Briogeo ($26)

This alcohol-free hairspray features players like tapioca starch, flax seed oil, and red raspberry seed oil to finish off your style with shine and volume. Even on wet hair, it never dries down crispy or sticky, and it leaves a light, fresh scent on your strands.
