1. Oribe Maximista Thickening Spray ($29, barneys.com). A new breed and best -in-show. Mist this lightweight bodifier over freshly-washed damp hair to add a base of oomph. Then spray a little more on each individual section as you blow-dry. Pumps up skimpy, baby-fine hair and feathery hairlines, makes shoulder-length and longer blunt cuts appear five times fuller without rollers, teasing or extensions.

2. L'Oreal EverCreme Cleansing Conditioner ($6.99, ulta.com). This super gentle, low-lather combo product has a unique ratio of 1/4 moisturizing shampoo to 3/4 conditioner. It pampers sensitive scalps and makes life for short tousled crops or medium length choppy layered cuts easy and fast.

3. Fekkai Controle Ironless Straightening Balm ($25, neimanmarcus.com). This silky light cream delivers sleek polished blow-outs with just a round brush and a good ionic dryer. No need for a follow-up flat-iron step or keratin treatments. The ideal chemical-free solution for frizz-prone hair with minimal heat-styling required and one drop does it all.

4. Oscar Blandi Pronto Invisible Dry Shampoo Volumizing Spray ($23, sephora.com). By now you know a dry shampoo stretches time between shampoos and blow-outs for days. This one freshens hair and relies on rice and oat starches to absorb excess oil and wheat proteins to add body. It doubles as a styling product and it goes on clear, not white, so no residue shows. Your hair won't feel coarse, tacky or wiggy. Gives over-processed, dry hair a break from heat-styling and makes sweaty scalp and hair due to a workout, brisk walk or hot sticky weather a non-issue. Flip your hair over and spray the roots before brushing through or just do your bangs and hairline as needed.

5. John Frieda Frizz- Ease Smooth Start Repairing Shampoo and Conditioner ($5.99 each, ulta.com) Love any duo by John Freida! This couple reinforces weak, stressed, damaged, wimpy or processed hair (that's about all of us right?) with silk proteins. Essential oils boost texture, restore shine and a healthier, more youthful look. They feel expensive, but, honestly you never have to spend more on shampoo and conditioner than this.

6. Kiehl's Since 1851 Strengthening and Hydrating Hair Oil-In-Cream ($25 neimanmarcus.com). A leave-in conditioner is always a good idea for very dry, coarse hair especially if it's thick or damaged. This one has triple the usual concentration of emollients like olive fruit and avocado to detangle easily after washing and minimize breakage during styling. The extra moisture and nourishment ramp up flexibility so dull hair gets back its spring and bounce. Even fragile, breakage-prone, coarse hair that's been chemically straightened and/or colored will benefit.

7. Aveeno Active Naturals Nourish + Condition Leave-In Treatment ($6.99, drugstore.com)  This post-shampoo leave-in works as a primer to heal thin neglected hair, split ends, damaged areas and/or breakage at the crown or back of the head. Spray the entire head roots to tips before using any heat or styling products. The wheat proteins protect the hair shaft and smooth over splits while humectants like glycerin lock in moisture.

8. Living Proof Full Thickening Creme ($26, ulta.com). This non-greasy cream gives flat, thinning, dry to very-dry hair lightweight fullness without a crunchy, fake-looking texture. Apply it to wet hair and blow-dry for a tousled airy look. Amazing on choppy bobs and layers

9. L'Oreal Paris Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hairspray ($14.99 for 11.2 oz, ulta.com).  This micro-fine legendary hairspray of the 1950s only became available in the U.S. in 2010. I love the way it brushes out easily, holds invisibly, has no sticky residue stiffness, is weatherproof and has the same ageless timeless gold can and glam image we do.

10. Davines NouNou Nourishing Repairing Mask with Olive Butter for Dry & Brittle Hair ($25, drugstore.com). My superstar colorist Brad Johns, Color Director of The Saks Fifth Avenue NYC Salon got me hooked on this and I'd rather splurge on this than a week's worth of lattes. A tub lasts forever since you only need a heaping tablespoon dispersed through your hair. If you're a major blond-ista like me know that this turns pale and buttery highlighted hair to silk with one use.
