Got2b Oil-Licious Styling Oil, $5.99
 



If frizz and static are your main concerns this time of year, you'll love this oil. It's a blend of argan, Marula, and white grape seed, and it can be used on damp or dry hair. We suggest rubbing a few drops between your palms after you heat style, and smoothing it over flyaways and ends. Your hair will look great even after you pull off your wool hat

Motions Marula Natural Therapy Hair & Scalp Oil

Motions Marula Natural Therapy Hair & Scalp Oil, $6.19
 



Thanks to its antioxidant properties, Marula oil, which comes from the Marula tree in Africa, is a rising-star ingredient in the beauty industry -- it's positioned to oust argan from the top spot. And this hair oil is loaded with it. The Marula protects hair from damage; plus, there's honey for shine, and chamomile to soothe scalp irritation. Even though Motions products are generally designed for coarse hair types, if you use a small amount this one will work even on fine hair.

L'Oréal Professionnel Mythic Oil, $32


We try not to be swayed by pretty packaging -- waiting, instead, to judge products on how they perform. However, when these beautiful bottles of Mythic Oil hit our desks, we couldn't help but fall in love with the pretty Moroccan designs. Fortunately, you can judge these bottles by their covers -- they work! There are four versions: Rich (for thick hair), Colour Glow (for colored hair, obviously), Nourishing (light enough for everyone), and Reinforcing Milk (for detangling).
Kérastase Elixir Ultime, $54
 
Kérastase kicked off the hair oil craze earlier this year with their Elixir Ultime, a multitasking serum that can be used as a treatment before you shampoo, a leave-in conditioner before you style, or as a shine enhancer on dry hair. It's a blend of four different oils -- maize, Pracaxi, camellia, and argan -- which have antioxidant properties, as well as smoothing and hydrating benefits. Women -- us included -- swooned.


Even though the original is plenty amazing, Kérastase just launched three new versions, each for specific needs. First, there's Elixir Ultime Rose Millénaire -- an oil so light it feels like water -- for fine hair. Then, there's Elixir Ultime Moringa Immortel, which has bonus calcium, iron, and magnesium for damaged hair. And finally, there's Elixir Ultime The Imperial, which has Imperial Tea for extra UV protection for color-treated hair. We sense even more swooning happening soon.

Kinerase Ultimate Night Moisturizer , $125 


Why it's great: If one look at that price tag didn't give you immediate heart palpitations, you've passed the first test. For ladies unafraid to drop a pretty penny on an ultra-moisturizing night cream, it might be worth foregoing those weekly mani/pedis this month to afford a bottle of Kinerase Ultimate Night Moisturizer. One Totalbeauty.com reviewer gushed, "I love how it really helps my dry areas (my under-eyes, around the nose and lips) and stays soft throughout the day."

According to most readers, the product works best for those with severely dry or temperamental skin. "I have very dry, sensitive, blotchy skin and it has completely evened out not only the tone, but the texture as well," raved one happy user. "I have never had such flawless skin in my life." Although the cost certainly renders this high-end derm product off the table for some, our readers recommend that critically dry-skinned gals give Kinerase Ultimate Night Moisturizer a shot -- there's a big payoff in results for that price. *At time of publication

Readers love the refreshing scent, wrinkle-smoothing action and budget-friendly price of this deliciously rich product. Although a few readers reported the occasional breakout and criticized the formula for its thickness, most consumers go gaga for the product's firming and nourishing qualities. "A thick rich cream that absorbs and doesn't leave me greasy!" another Totalbeauty.com reviewer reported. "And those fine lines around my eyes are really disappearing!! Fabulous to find a great product without the fancy price tag!" Need we say more?
