Having HEALTHY HAIR once required a VOW against HEAT STYLING and a COMMITMENT to high-maintenance TREATMENTS. But NOW? Every product in your ROUTINE can be an antidote to DAMAGE. Here, our annual HAIR AWARDS highlight the BEST of the bunch.
What do all the new hair-care products in our bathrooms have in common? Nearly every formula these days works to actively repair damage, says celebrity hair-stylist Nathaniel Hawkins—from your in-shower essentials and curl gels to the dry shampoo used to refresh an old style. “New breeds of innovative technology and advanced ingredients have emerged that make achieving stronger, healthier hair easier than ever,” he adds. Even salon-level treatments are making their way into our routines, like shine-enhancing glosses and bond-repair formulas. Ahead are our 2025 Harper’s Bazaar Hair Awards winners, which include next-generation products that heal hair at every step of your routine, so you can style without sacrifice.
SHOWER REPAIR
It has been said that some of the best ideas happen in the shower, and we think that many of the best hair treatments do too.
1. Consider JVN Revive Rapid Repair Bond Gloss ($36; sephora.com) glass hair in a bottle. It doesn't just add brilliance, it also helps rebuild broken bonds and mends split ends to strengthen damaged, overprocessed hair.
2. L'Oréal Paris's hardworking Elvive Hyaluron + Pure 72H Purifying Shampoo ($6; amazon.com) uses a blend of salicylic and hyaluronic acids to exfoliate and purify the scalp while locking in hair hydration.
