Marie Claire Beauty Awards winners seen on TODAY
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
CeraVe Ultra-Light Moisturizing Face Gel
This affordable find is worth all the hype as it contains three essential ceramides, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin all day. Plus, the lightweight gel texture is smooth to apply for an easy glide (no tugging!), and add a protective layer for the skin barrier.
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 Alchemy Resilience Conditioner
Don't just conditioner your hair — strengthen, shield and restore your strands with Oribe's Hair Alchemy Resilience Conditioner. The product does this thanks to its curated blend of chia seed, bio-fermented bamboo leaf and other nourishing ingredients. They equally work to improve the hair's integrity by creating a protective layer around your strands.
Skinbetter Science AlphaRet Overnight Cream
While it is a splurge, this award-winning cream combines a retinoid with an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) to create a unique formula that combats common aging concerns, such as fine lines and wrinkles, with no irritation.
