How to Find The Best Hair Product
About this video
The Gazette team provides a comprehensive guide to selecting hair styling products by analyzing hair type, desired style, and product characteristics rather than relying solely on brand names or price points. They explain how to evaluate product ingredients using third-party databases, caution against potential conflicts of interest from stylists, and emphasize the importance of testing products on individual hair to find the best fit.
Key takeaways
- The Gazette team argues that price and brand reputation don’t guarantee a product will work for your hair—understanding your specific hair type (texture, density, moisture level) is essential first
- The Gazette team recommends evaluating products based on three key characteristics: hold, density, and shine, rather than relying on product category names which lack standardized definitions across brands
- The Gazette team suggests consulting the EWG’s Skin Deep database to research product ingredients and identifies potential marketing hype, while also testing multiple products on your own hair to determine the best choice
