Just a few drops along your mid-lengths and ends are enough to smooth frizz, revive dullness, and leave your hair looking effortlessly polished every time.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo pumps of the Oribe Gold Lust oil are all it takes to keep my hair shining all day long. After towel-drying my hair, I pump a quarter-size amount into my palms and work it through the ends, and run a comb through a few times to lightly distribute the product to my roots. If my hair is looking a little dull after drying, I’ll add one more pump once I’m finished styling.\u201d\u2014Kassidy Silva, social director<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Loved for its lightweight feel, this argan oil-based formula smooths, detangles, conditions, and boosts shine without ever tipping into greasy territory. (The treatment even comes in a Light version for superfine hair.) Furthermore, it\u2019s also infused with linseed extract, which is rich in fatty acids that leave hair looking glossier on contact. Use it on dry hair to smooth flyaways and frizz, or work it through damp strands to help speed up drying time and give them that silky, brushable feel when using a round brush or straightening brush.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cMy hair is on the finer side but comes with plenty of frizz and flyaways, so I basically need a hair oil within arm\u2019s reach at all times. This one has been a staple in my routine since way before my 20s. I first bought it for the divine amber scent, but I kept repurchasing once I realized how well it tames my hair without weighing it down. I keep the full-size bottle in my bathroom and a mini at my desk for emergency touch-ups.\u201d\u2014Lily Wohlner, commerce writer<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Molecular Repair Hair Oil<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Why it’s worth it:<\/strong> A winner in the Splurge category of the 2023 Best of Beauty Awards, K18’s Molecular Repair Hair Oil works to address frizz on two levels: first, by reversing structural damage caused by heat styling and salon treatments through the brand\u2019s namesake K18 peptide, and second, by conditioning hair with natural lipids, like avocado and sunflower oils. Whatever your hair concerns, Lazaro Lambertucci, a New York City-based hairstylist and colorist, confirms that the K18 Molecular Repair Hair Oil is “weightless and amazing for all hair types.\u201d (Not just damaged!) It also helps prevent future<\/em> damage by providing heat protection up to 450 degrees. This multitasking oil can be applied to damp hair before styling or used as a finishing oil.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cMy head of bleached, dryness-prone hair needs a hardworking oil, and K18\u2019s gloss-enhancing formula fits the bill. My dehydrated hair usually needs a hefty drench of oil to feel anywhere near soft, but this oil leaves it feeling silky-smooth after just six drops. I also love the lightweight feel; it doesn\u2019t leave any residue behind but gives my hair glass-level reflection.\u201d \u2014Jennifer Hussein, former commerce writer<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n<\/p>\nAllure<\/em> commerce editor Sarah Han applying Fable and Mane HoliRoots Hair Oil<\/p>\n<\/span>Sarah Han<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhy it\u2019s worth it:<\/strong> Not all hair oils are meant to be used before washing. Inspired by Ayurvedic hair oiling, a 5,000-year-old practice in India that involves massaging warm, herb-infused oils into the scalp and strands to nourish, Fable and Mane\u2019s HoliRoots Hair Oil is designed to be worked into the scalp section by section before your shower. Leave it on for at least five minutes\u2014or overnight\u2014for stronger roots, reduced breakage, boosted circulation, and deeply hydrated, healthy-looking hair. Key oils like castor, olive fruit, jojoba, grapeseed, and sesame, along with Ayurveda classics like ashwagandha and amla (which are known to stimulate keratin production), work together to nourish strands and calm the scalp. Rest assured: Despite being packed with oils, you won\u2019t find any residue in your scalp post-shampoo. Rather, your strands will feel softer, silkier, and stronger.<\/p>\n\n
