"I LOVE Tigi Bed Head Rockaholic Fun Times Flexible Hairspray. Soft hair that doesn’t move, perfect for ponytails. Totally stays in place all day without looking like your hair is frozen, and doesn't have an odor some others do!"
- Alyson, The Average Girl's Guide
"My hands-down favorite product is UNITE's 7SECOND Leave In Conditioner/Detangler. I've never used a product on my hair that works so well. This detangler is a bit on the expensive side for me, but a little goes a long way and one bottle lasts for a few months. I strayed to a different product over the summer, used it once, and went back to my old standby."

"Mine would have to be Carol's Daughter Monoi Anti-breakage Spray. My hair can have a mind of its own. It snarls really easily and can get super dry. A healthy dose of this really helps the curls!"
- Emily, Capital Style
"It's got to be Bumble and bumble White Hair Powder (dry shampoo). I got it at Salon 46 in Old Town and it's been a life saver this year. With a new baby and a 4 year old to look after, time is of the essence. I wash my hair 1-2 times per week, then touch up with this to create different looks and styles. It's absolutely BRILLIANT! I like the added texture it gives my hair, and really with this, you don't need much hairspray to keep hair in place. I look fresh and ready to go!"
- Maria, Very Busy Mama
"My all time favorite beauty product of 2013 has to be the Garnier Volumizing Anti-Humidity Hair Spray. After looking for, finding and loving a John Frieda version that was discontinued (how could they??), I was at a loss with what to buy as I am just not really a beauty product kind of woman. I tried this Garnier on a whim (well that and I had a coupon) in the #2 and I loved it enough to try the #3 which has turned out to be my complete go-to. It has just enough hold to still style a look but can also nail down all those stray hairs or get you that hair to make you closer to God. Favorite product, hands down. And it's under $4!"
