Igk Crybaby Anti-frizz Smoothing Serum
Taking a cue from skin care, this unique serum-in-oil formula absorbs quickly into your hair instead of just coating the outer layers. With prickly pear extract and coconut oil, we like to massage it through as a pre-shampoo treatment every other wash.

Naturelab Tokyo Perfect Shine Oil Mist
A heat- and color-protectant in one, this Japanese import uses botanical stem cells to guard against environmental aggressors (like the sun...and your flatiron). Mist it onto dry ends before bed and wake up to smoother, more manageable strands.
