The Hair Products That Won Our 2022 Beauty Awards

No matter your wedding vision, getting gorgeous wedding hair (like those styles you've been eyeing on Pinterest, Instagram and TikTok) requires love and devotion—as well as a little bit of help from the best hair products for your hair type. We all know that washing, blow-drying, and heat-styling often can cause a head full of split ends, dull strands and annoying "wispies" (those little broken pieces of hair that stick up from your hairline). Similar to sticking with a solid pre-wedding skin care routine in the months leading up to your day, investing in an arsenal of the best hair products for your hair type can help repair damage, revive dull color and enhance your natural hair texture, leaving you with more luscious-looking locks for your nuptials and all of the events surrounding it. Below, find our editor-approved products for every hair type and budget—and the best hair tools for any DIY 'dos you'll be rocking at your prewedding parties.
