Seen on TODAY | More award-winners | How we chose
Nexxus Repair & Nourish Ultra Lightweight Hair Oil
Consider this a multi-purpose oil. With just two to three drops, the reparative treatment promises to nourish tired strands, shield hair from environmental stressors (even heat protection!), calm frizz and enhance shine after styling.
Versed Press Restart Advanced Retinol Body Butter
You might be used to retinol for the face, but the ingredient is incredible for the body, too. In fact, retinol is one of the key ingredients inside this lush body butter. Overtime, Versed says users should see visibly firmer, smoother and a more even skin tone. It’s so good, we’ve even reviewed it in the past. Velvety soft skin awaits!
Fur Ingrown Microdart Patch
“Much like pimple patches, these microdart patches from Fur target ingrown hair using salicylic acid, which reduces oil, as well as cica, which mitigates inflammation,” notes Campbell. Just place it on your desired area and the patch should help clear bumps within six hours, according to the brand.
Aveda Botanical Repair Bond-Building Flash Treatment
Aveda’s Bond-Building Flash Treatment is true to its name — it really does work to fix hair in a flash. “This in-shower treatment repairs and strengthens the bonds of individual strands, resulting in hair that looks smoother and shinier after just 10 seconds,” says Campbell. Use after your shampoo and conditioner for best results.
Shark Beauty SmoothStyle Heated Comb & Blow Dryer Brush
A winner for both Shop TODAY and Marie Claire’s Beauty Awards, Shark Beauty’s Heated Blow Dryer Brush quickly styles and smooths hair with little to no heat damage. Use its unique wet-to-dry mode to boost volume, following with the Heated Comb Mode to give your hair a salon-worthy blowout.
Pattern Interchangeable Curling Iron
“Pattern’s new curling iron includes three interchangeable ceramic barrels to create curls, tight coils and waves,” mentions Campbell. “The set comes with a heat-protective glove and a heat-resistant carrying case,” she adds, noting this is a perk for those who prefer to bring their own heat styling tools during travel.

More award-winning products
Lubriderm Daily Moisture Body + Face Wash
This affordable winner is one you don’t want to miss. If you’re familiar with their body lotion line, then you can expect their body and face wash to perform just as well. Developed by dermatologists, the product “contains ceramides for extra hydration and has a light, refreshing fragrance,” explains Campbell.
The Mane Choice The Alpha Recoil & Curl Bond Repair Leave-in Conditioner
“With a formula inspired by ancient Egyptian hair care, this leave-in from The Mane Choice repairs damaged hair, strengthening it in the long term and adding immediate shine,” Campbell says. And it is perfect for those with oily, curly and wavy hair who are looking to improve curl health and pattern.
Color Wow Money Mist
Another winner from our own and Marie Clare’s awards (even a favorite of TODAY host Hoda Kotb!), Color Wow’s Money Mist will make strands look and feel expensive with a formula that is meant to improve overall hair health and shine.
Oribe Hair Care Gold Lust Dry Heat Protection Spray
“This styling spray protects hair from heat styling up to 450 degrees, repairs existing damage and softens dry strands,” suggests Campbell. “It also styles hair with a frizz-free, satin finish.” What more can you ask for from a single product?
SkinMedica Acne Clarifying Treatment
Acne treatments are useful, but can sometimes have the tendency to be over drying. To combat the issue, SkinMedica develop their Acne Clarifying Treatment Serum to fight and prevent stubborn breakouts without affecting the skin barrier with encapsulated 2% salicylic acid, niacinamide, bakuchiol, botanicals and other gentle ingredients.
