The world is going through a lot right now and between social distancing, work from home Fridays turning to every day, and our favorite stores and businesses closed for the next few weeks, it can be easy to fall into a funk. For us hair-obsessed people out there, however, there’s a bright side. While we’re stuck at home, we have tons of time to test out those “I’ll try it later” products we’ve had our eye on for months.
If you’re searching for the perfect hair products to try during quarantine, we’re here to help! From hair masks to air-dry products, read on for seven of the hair products our Hair.com team has been loving.
Total Results Curl Please Super Defrizzer Gel
An anti-frizz curl gel.
Jelani Addams Rosa, Senior Editor: Matrix Total Results Curl Please Super Defrizzer Gel
Plan on giving your mane a break from shampoo? Us, too! For her naturally curly hair, Hair.com senior editor Jelani Addams Rosa is using Matrix Total Results Curl Please Super Defrizzer Gel to keep her ringlets in check and help them last longer between washes.
Why She Loves It:
“I've been loving the Matrix Total Results Curl Please Super Defrizzer Gel. When I first tried the product, I wasn’t sure I was going to love it because the gel felt so thin—but don’t let that fool you! The formula is super lightweight so it doesn't weigh my curls down, but has enough hold so I can go a whole week without having to restyle my hair (which is exactly the kind of low maintenance product I need for this quarantine)!”
Matrix Total Results Curl Please Super Defrizzer Gel, $17.00 MSRP
Styling Airdry Glotion Multi-Benefit Styling Spray
A multi-benefit styling spray that works as an air dry spray.
BlowDry Glotion

Jessie Amato, Associate Editor: Biolage Styling Airdry Glotion Multi-Benefit Styling Spray
If you, like Hair.com’s associate editor Jessie Amato, still like to keep your styling time to a minimum, pick up an air-dry product like Biolage’s Styling Airdry Glotion Multi-Benefit Styling Spray.
Why She Loves It:
“I’ll be honest—even when life is running business as usual, I don’t do much with my hair. That being said, after being home for nearly two weeks, I didn’t want my strands to look and feel lackluster every day. I’ve had Biolage Styling Airdry Glotion Multi-Benefit Styling Spray on the backburner for a while, and now that I’ve tried it, I’m absolutely obsessed. It leaves my fine, wavy hair smooth, tames my frizz, and adds just enough body to make my hair look presentable for my video meetings.”

Noelle Chehab, Senior Director Of Social Media And Content Production: Kérastase Resistance Masque Force Architecte Hair Mask
While you’re spending time chilling at home, why not finally indulge in a hair mask? If you’re looking for the perfect one to add to your quarantine routine, social media director Noelle Chehab recommends Kérastase Resistance Masque Force Architecte Hair Mask.
Why She Loves It:
“Since quarantine, I finally tried the Kérastase Resistance Masque Force Architecte Hair Mask, and I'm obsessed. I'd previously tried the Resistance Ciment Anti-Usure Conditioner and loved the results, but the mask is giving my hair next-level strength and softness...I've also been skipping blowouts, so the effects of the mask are really noticeable!”
Kérastase Resistance Masque Force Architecte Hair Mask, $56.00 MSRP
One United All-In-One Multi-Benefit Treatment
A mult-tasking treatment spray that helps you manage, protect and enhance hair.
Savannah Maroney, Content Producer: Redken One United Multi-Benefit Hair Treatment Spray
The best quarantine hair products are the ones that give our manes a break from our usual routines—so says content producer Savannah Maroney. That’s why she’s been loving Redken One United Multi-Benefit Hair Treatment.
Why She Loves It:
“During this strange time of social distancing, I am trying to take advantage of the fact that no one will be seeing my hair for the next few weeks by giving it a much-needed break. For me, this means cutting back on the amount of products and heat that I am using on my hair...One way that I am keeping my hair healthy without overloading it is by using a multi-benefit spray, like Redken's One United, to help protect and nourish my strands. This product provides 25 hair boosting benefits in one treatment, so it's making my hair care routine a breeze.”
Redken One United Multi-Benefit Hair Treatment Spray, $25.00 MSRP
Reflection Fondant Chromatique Conditioner
A gentle conditioner for brittle, color-treated hair.
Hydrate Shampoo
A deeply hydrating, color-preserving shampoo for normal to thick dry, color-treated hair.
Reflection Bain Chromatique Riche Shampoo for Color-Treated Hair
A shampoo that preserves hair color and prevents color from fading.
Jackie Burns Brisman, Assistant Vice President, Content: Kérastase Reflection Fondant Chromatique Conditioner
Hair.com’s assistant vice president of content Jackie Burns Brisman has two hair care essentials she’s been sticking to—Kérastase Reflection Fondant Chromatique Conditioner and Pureology Hydrate Moisturizing Shampoo.
Why She Loves Them:
“I had high hopes that I would give my hair a break from the hot tools during this time, but I found after a couple of days of not doing my hair, it was actually taking a toll on my overall mood. During this time where everything isn’t normal, I wanted to incorporate one thing into my routine that was for me—and that’s 100% doing my hair. That said, I have been using this time to try things I’ve collected over the last few months of working at L’Oreal, I found Kérastase Reflection Fondant Chromatique Conditioner in the bag I packed before heading home for quarantine, and it’s definitely a new favorite. My hair gets so shiny after I use it and blow dry. Another new favorite is Pureology’s Hydrate Moisturizing Shampoo. I had it sitting on my desk for a while and brought it home in my bag. Basically, both of these are incredible for making my dry, color-treated hair look shiny, feel soft, and smell great—and right now a good head of hair is a win I’ll gladly take.”
Kérastase Reflection Fondant Chromatique Conditioner, $34.00 MSRP
Pureology Hydrate Moisturizing Shampoo, $30.00 MSRP
Extreme Strengthening Shampoo for Damaged Hair
A rich hair-strengthening shampoo for damaged hair and split ends.
Extreme Strengthening Conditioner for Damaged Hair
A strengthening, detangling conditioner for damaged hair and split ends.
Taylor Smith, Editorial Intern: Redken Extreme Anti-Snap Split Ends Hair Treatment
Dealing with split ends? You’re not alone! While the salons are closed, our editorial intern swears by Redken’s Extreme Anti-Snap Split Ends Hair Treatment to keep her split ends in check between trims.
Why She Loves It:
“I was supposed to get a haircut this week to cut off my split ends. With hair like mine, which is coarse, thick, and wavy, I need a haircut every few months and of course I didn’t plan accordingly with the possibility of quarantine...In the meantime, I’ve been using Redken Extreme Anti-Snap Split Ends Hair Treatment. It’s helped strengthen and smooth my ends against breakage so I can hold off my much-need haircut a few more weeks.”
Redken Extreme Anti-Snap Split Ends Hair Treatment, $22.00 MSRP
