While we’ve shared some of our favorite hair color trends and styling tutorials over the years, none of those stunning looks would have been possible if we didn’t have access to some of the best hair products in the biz. We’ve never been ones to gatekeep, so we’re gifting you with a roundup of 25 formulas that have secured a permanent spot on our vanities and shower shelves. Whether you’re looking for a new moisturizing leave-in or an innovative bond repair line, here are some of the best haircare products that L’Oréal’s Professional Products Division has to offer.
25 of the Best Haircare Products from L’Oréal Pro Hair Brands
Redken Stay High Mousse
If you’re searching for the best hair products for thinning hair, consider adding Redken’s Stay High Mousse to your styling regimen. The lightweight gel-to-mousse formula provides maximum hold with textured volume, body, and fullness for up to 24 hours—perfect for boosting even the flattest hair.
L’Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox Shampoo and Hair Mask
From color changes and dullness to frizz and split ends, washing your hair in hard water can do a number on your strands. This Metal Detox duo from L’Oréal Professionnel is our go-to anecdote. Both products contain a patented molecule called glicoamine, which helps trap and neutralize metal deposits in the hair fiber to keep your hair healthy-looking through every wash.

Kérastase Elixir Ultime L'Huile Original Hair Oil Refillable
Our ultimate wish? Having the best hair products for frizzy hair magically appear on our shelf. If that wish came true, we’d probably see the iconic Kérastase Elixir Ultime L’Huile Original Hair Oil sitting there. In just 1-2 pumps, the new and improved formula (which is now refillable!) helps control frizz, restore mega shine, smooth strands, and protect against heat.
Matrix Instacure Build-A-Bond
Hair bonding systems are among the best haircare products to help reverse damage from overprocessing (think bleaching, heat-styling, or perming). While there are plenty of collections to choose from, Matrix’s Instacure Build-A-Bond is the latest addition to the L’Oréal professional portfolio. Each product in the four-piece lineup (a shampoo, conditioner, mask, and balm) is infused with citric acid and squalane and formulated to strengthen hair from the inside while softening it on the outside.
Redken All Soft Moisture Restore Leave-In
If you’re into the skinification of hair trend, you may already be familiar with hydrating hyaluronic acid (if not, check out our hyaluronic acid explainer). You can try this star ingredient in a formula like Redken’s All Soft Moisture Restore Leave-In. This treatment helps lock in moisture for up to 72 hours and instantly conditions hair so that it’s ten times smoother.* Plus, it visually sleekens split ends, tames frizz, detangles hair, and protects hair from heat up to 450 degrees.

Redken Acidic Bonding Curls Trio
The Acidic Bonding Curls range contains some of L’Oréal’s best hair products for curly hair—namely, curls and coils riddled with damage. The three-part system, which is ideal for 3A to 4C hair types, helps restore the pattern of damaged curls, promote strength, improve elasticity, and rebuild damaged hair bonds. Head to our Redken Acidic Bonding Curls Review to watch how this trio transformed one editor’s frazzled coils.
Biolage Professional Ultra Hydra Source Deep Treatment Pack
Like a tall glass of water for thirsty hair, the aloe and spirulina-powered Biolage Professional Ultra Hydra Source Deep Treatment Pack can help replenish even the driest of hair textures. The ultra-creamy mask is best for those with medium to coarse hair textures looking for extra manageability and can be used in place of regular conditioner.
Matrix A Curl Can Dream Wave Definition
The best hair products for wavy hair should help define your pattern without adding unnecessary weight–and that’s exactly why we love Matrix’s A Curl Can Dream Wave Definition collection. The shampoo, conditioner, and scrunching spray work together to help coax out your gorgeous texture and give your waves bouncy, all-day manageability. See the results firsthand in our full Matrix A Curl Can Dream Wave Definition System Review.
Redken Deep Clean Dry Shampoo
For us, having a good dry shampoo within reach in between wash days is basically a non-negotiable. Among our favorite formulas is Redken’s Deep Clean Dry Shampoo, which helps refresh up to fourth-day hair and offers a cooling sensation for a deep clean feel.
Shu Uemura Art of Hair Ashita Supreme Intense Revitalization Hair Serum
Cheat your way to a good hair day with the help of Shu Uemura Art of Hair’s Ashita Supreme Intense Revitalization Hair Serum. Just apply this revitalizing leave-in treatment to unwashed hair for feather-like softness, gorgeous smoothness, and renewed shine.

This best-selling leave-in provides 25 benefits, including hydrating, strengthening, frizz control, and priming hair for heat styling.
