Hairspray shields your strands from wind, humidity and other external elements that might mess up your style.

This creamy foam styler originated in France and was brought to the U.S. by L'Oreal in the early 1980s. Along with other products designed to add volume, it was widely used in the '80s due to the decade's ubiquitous "big hair" trend.

1. Mousse
   Hair spray
2. Gel
   Conditioner

While hair gel can be used to style a variety of different 'dos, it's known for its ability to create shiny, sleek looks. When applying gel, use it sparingly — alcohol is often an ingredient in this potent styler, which can damage and dry out your locks.

Ethanol, Isopropyl and propyl are three of the most drying types of alcohol commonly found in hair care products.

1. Dry and damaged
   Color-treated
2. Dandruff-prone
   All of the above

Sulfates are the cleansing agents that create a shampoo's thick, frothy lather. While they are great at removing build-up, they are harsh and can strip hair of its moisturizing oils. They also tend to fade color-treated strands and can irritate scalps that are dry and dandruff-prone.

1. Egyptian cotton
   Microfiber
2. Bamboo
   Pima cotton

Curly hair is particularly delicate when it’s wet, and cotton and terrycloth towels are coarse and abrasive. They can snag at your strands, causing breakage, frizz and split ends. A microfiber towel, on the other hand, is soft, smooth and lightweight — it absorbs water quickly and easily without any rubbing — so friction is kept to a minimum.

1. Honey mask
   Apple-cider-vinegar mask
2. Peanut-butter mask
   Avocado mask

Avocado is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E, which are both mega-moisturizing nutrients that add shine while they hydrate. Making an avocado mask as home is easy!

1. Banana clips
   Snag-free elastics
2. Bobby pins
   Alligator clips

Most elastics do not have your hair's best interests in mind. They will snag, tangle and tug, which can cause damage over time. Avoid this by looking for snag-free elastics the next time you're at the drugstore. They're made of unique elastic fibers that glide through the hair without getting stuck.

1. Diffuser
   Concentrator
2. Pick nozzle
   Thermo nozzle

When attached to a blowdryer, a diffuser circulates hot air AROUND the curl, rather than on top of it. This not only helps minimize frizz, it also adds body by boosting curls rather than flattening them.

1. Hand soap
   Air freshener
2. Fabric-softener sheets
   Hand sanitizer
