It’s no secret, there are a ton of hair care products on the market that just don’t deliver the results you expect. There are thousands of hairsprays, mousses, and serums out there, and sifting through all the options can be nearly impossible. And most of us are guilty of occasionally choosing a product based on the prettiest bottle, the best scent, or a TikTok review.
Luckily, there are stylists out there who’ve tried every shampoo, spray, and paste to find the best products for their clients (and themselves). We spoke to some of those experts to get their top picks.

Kerastase Densifique Densimorphos Hair Mousse
Stylist Kate Hartnett of Element Salon Green Hills explains that while there’s no “one size fits all” approach to hair care products, your stylist can help you find the right products for your hair type.
“My go-to product for fine, low-density hair is Kérastase Densifique Densimorphose Hair Mousse,” she says. “Infused with hyaluronic acid and glucopeptides, this lightweight formula plumps up and hydrates each strand of hair, adding volume and strength. I love it because it thickens hair but also makes it soft and lightweight!”

Davines Renewing Shampoo and Conditioner
“We’re a Davines salon, and we love the Davines Renewing Shampoo and the Davines Renewing Conditioner,” says Eric Marshall Wright, owner of Eric Marshall Salon in Nashville. “They’re part of an anti-aging line with spinach, and the conditioner is made to be used on the scalp, which is often forgotten about as a conditioner because we’re taught not to put conditioner on the scalp. This line helps solve that problem. We really love it.”

Shu Uemura Tsukishape Blow Dry Spray
“Shu Uemura’s Tsuki Shape Blow-Dry Spray gives hair shape and hold, helping your blow-dry last longer,” says Rosa, a stylist at Escape Day Spa and Salon in Nashville.
This heat-activated spray has a lightweight texture that won’t weigh your hair down, so you can add volume without worrying about your hair feeling like it’s loaded with product.

Davines Oil All-in-One Spray
“We love Davines OI All-in-One Hair Milk Spray! It’s a multi-tasking spray that protects, moisturizes, detangles, and softens hair. It’s the perfect foundation for a beautiful blowout,” says Kayla Fontaine, Brentwood store manager at The Blowout Company.
This popular spray is also popular for its scent, which leaves your hair smelling elegant.

R+Co Control Flexible Paste
Stephanie Trail, owner of Nashville salon Nfuse, is a fan of R+Co Control Flexible Paste, especially for her male clients who want to add more dimension and style to their look. “It’s great for guys who like to change up their style throughout the day,” Trail says. “It always goes back to normal.”

Oribe Cream for Style
“I also love Olive Cream for Style,” says Stephanie. “It has plenty of hold for the fine hair around the face that can be tricky to style, and for hair that gets super frizzy on humid days. I can straighten it or comb it with a round brush for volume and it stays in place all day.”

Xenagen Densifying Hair Serum
If you’re looking for volume in your hair, Holly Rexroat, master stylist and director of education at Style House Salon in Nashville, has the answer: “One of my favorite products is Zenagen Densifying Hair Serum. It adds density and volume to your hair. Give it a try!”
She also says that as a busy mom six months after giving birth, the product has been a lifesaver: “Time is limited, so the convenience of just a few drops once a day fits perfectly into my routine.”
Need another reason to try this serum? Holly explains that it’s water-based, so it won’t leave your hair feeling sticky or oily. Plus, Zenagen was founded in the South, in Brentwood, Tennessee.

Olaplex Dry Shampoo
“Another must-have in my busy mom routine is Olaplex Dry Shampoo,” says Holly. “I’ve used dry shampoo for years, but I always struggled with the white residue it would leave on my dark brown hair. With Olaplex, I don’t have to worry about that anymore – it leaves no white residue behind, which is a game changer.”
She explains that over time, she’s noticed that she needs less product to see results on her hair. “It helps balance the oils on your scalp without clogging your pores,” she explains. “And the best part? It’s the only dry shampoo that’s always available in a convenient travel size!”

R + Co. Dirt Pomade Stick
“R + Co. Dirt Pomade Stick adds the perfect finishing touch. It has a hairspray-like hold to tame any flyaways. It’s perfect for a sleek ponytail without feeling heavy or sticky. It’s the perfect way to start or finish off a great blowout or style,” says Kayla of The Blowout Co.

Kerastase Elixir Ultime
Comilla Cinar, a stylist at Escape Day Spa and Salon in Nashville, uses Kerastase Elixir Ultime on many of her clients. “Apply Kerastase Elixir Ultime to wet hair,” Cinar says. “It adds amazing shine, tamps frizz, adds strength, and is a fantastic detangler.”
