Launch List: The Best Hair Care Launching in December

Hundreds of products come across our desks every month, but not all of them deliver on their claims or live up to the hype. (Not everything that goes viral on TikTok is a miracle worker.) This is our exclusive curation of the best-in-class hair-care products receiving rave reviews from our team and hitting shelves right now.

Oribe Brushes & Combs Collection ($50–$125)

When I opened the box full of these tools, I gasped—they are even more beautiful than they look in this photo and truly works of art. Designed to last a lifetime—these are not brushes and combs you let your kids get their hands on—they are Italian-made, hand-finished and evoke old-world marble sculptures, but there’s also something really modern about them too.

“The quality of all of the tools in the collection is impeccable—they are made to last forever,” says Stacey Ciceron, global educator for Oribe. “My favorites are the Wide Tooth Comb and the Hair Pick. They are a great investment, especially for those with highly textured hair, as the durability of the brushes and combs show that I could easily use these for a lifetime, on both myself and on my clients.”

Stripes The Root Of It Ectoine Calming & Thickening Scalp Serum ($50)

Formulated with perimenopausal women in mind, this hydrating scalp serum is a great option for anyone experiencing dry or thinning hair. Its star ingredient is ectoine, which the brand says “uses smart-targeted hydration to distribute love and moisture to thirsty strands.”

“Our estrogen levels drop during menopause and it can really create dry hair,” says founder Naomi Watts. “You take about two to three full pipettes and distribute them right onto your scalp, and then massage your scalp slightly. It feels so good and increases circulation. It also smells great—sandalwood and musk. Leave it on for 15 minutes—just enough time to check your emails and do whatever you need to do—and then pop into the shower and rinse it off.”

SALTAIR Beach Blonde Purple Shampoo and Conditioner ($12 each)

When you feel the weight of this bottle in your hand and you smell the gorgeous floral scent (notes of orange flower, pink jasmine, fresh plum and fresh gardenia), you’ll wonder how on earth it’s just $12.

Brand-new to SALTAIR’s recent foray into hair-care, this purple duo utilizes orchid and violet flower extracts to banish brassiness in blonde, highlighted and gray hair, helping to keep color in check between salon appointments. Plus, the addition of kukui nut oil leaves hair feeling smooth and nourished.

Hair Repair Bar by Giojé ScalpFacial ($55)

In 2019, trichologist Giovanny Jorge opened her New York City salon on Bleecker Street, Hair Repair Bar by Giojé, and the word spread about her signature hair repair treatment for clients with both oily and dry scalps. Then the pandemic hit and she realized there needed to be an at-home version, which you see here.

This two-piece kit comes in a Dry Scalp formula, which moisturizes and gets rid of flaking, as well as an Oily Scalp formula, which works to reduce excess oil from the hair follicles so they can “breathe” and function optimally (aka healthy hair growth no more greasy roots!).

L’Oréal Paris Elvive Hyaluron Plump Hydra-Flash Wonder Water ($11, launching soon)

When I first tried L’Oréal Paris’s OG Elvive Wonder Water back in late 2020, I was hooked. In just eight seconds, my dry, lifeless hair was resuscitated. Now, the brand is launching a new Wonder Water as part of its Elvive Hyaluron Plump Collection, which features a patented new technology and 72 hours of hydration.

This silicone-free, sulfate-free lamellar treatment essentially feels like water and penetrates the hair to seek out damaged areas and flood them with moisture and amino acids. The result? Shinier, softer, bouncier, more beautiful strands.
