The 5 Hair Staples Every Woman Should Have in Her Arsenal

hair essentials

Once upon a time, a woman’s hair regimen required a vanity table, a sterling silver brush, and 100 nightly strokes. These days, that equation sounds gloriously simple—because one glance at the dozens of sea salt sprays, shine serums, dry shampoos, and anti-frizz creams lining the shelves of your favorite boutique can make narrowing down a morning beauty routine feel like advanced science. Which got us thinking: Is there a handful of well-edited products that every woman, regardless of hair type, truly needs in her arsenal? For the answer, we turned to editorial whiz Esther Langham, whose own easy, pulled-together aesthetic signifies a woman who’s got her daily hair issues on lockdown. Here, she shares the essential tools that she stashes in her own pro kit.

“A hair dryer is one of the most essential tools in every woman’s arsenal. My personal favorite is the Sedu Revolution dryer. It has the power and heat of a professional model, but it’s still compact and lightweight. With the amount of time and energy you’ll save with it, it’s worth the investment.”

“Alongside your hair dryer, the right brush is also a must. The ones by Mason Pearson are my all-time go-tos. They have a range for every hair texture, and the quality of the bristles really do make a difference. Not only are they great for styling, they’re the perfect brush to detangle hair, wet or dry.”

“I prefer creams to serums because they are better for a wider range of hair textures, and, depending on what you need, varying the amount you use will help achieve different goals. This cream penetrates the hair and gives it a richness. Whether you just need a little bit for taming a few frizzy strands, you want to smooth out curls, or you need to bring moisture back into dry ends, this is the cream for every kind of woman.”
