Master the Salon Blowout With These 15 Hair-Straightening Products

If Olaplex isn’t in your hair care routine, what are you doing? Just as the brand’s cult-favorite shampoo and conditioner strengthen your hair bonds and prevent damage, the No. 6 Bond Smoother’s mission is the same. What’s great about this formula is it does wonders for color-treated and chemically-processed hair.

What people are saying: “Wet or dry I use this product to help smooth out my hair. It has my hair feeling so much less tangled and much more easy to finger comb.”

By now you should already know that the Dyson Airwrap is hair sorcery. A hefty price tag, sure, but included in the box is every attachment needed to dry, curl, smooth, and volumize your hair.

What people are saying: “I have NEVER liked my hair…until now! All the attachments are excellent and offer great versatility to achieve any look. My thin hair has volume! My overprocessed hair shines and looks and feels healthy! I have not had a bad hair day since I purchased this...I also have not touched a blowdryer, flat iron, or curling iron since I purchased this! It’s an investment but I promise it’s worth the $$$$$ and a game-changer! There is a learning curve so play with it! If I can do my hair with beautiful results and get compliments, you can too!”

Best for thick hair, this formula smoothes hair in just one step without the need for extra heat styling tools. Plus, it imparts a healthy shine without feeling greasy.

What people are saying: “This stuff is liquid gold. It definitely cuts down the amount of time it takes to blow-dry my hair. But the real plus is it makes my thick hair sleek and silky [and gives it a] got-a-blowout feeling after I straighten it with a flat iron.”

Even the driest of hairs can find relief in this miracle formula from Kérastase. With “discipline” being the operative word here, this product protects your hair from heat damage, frizz, and humidity so you can live your best life a little longer.

What people are saying: “This product is a game-changer. It leaves my hair smooth and super shiny. It also helps to tame frizz and does not leave an oily finish. I can tell that this product is of high quality and definitely worth it.”

Aveda’s top-quality products put every consumer in the salon chair, even if you’re standing in front of your bathroom mirror. Mimic the salon look with its Smooth Infusion line, infused with nourishing butters and oils to strengthen the hair, and a plant polymer shield to repel moisture.

What people are saying: “So I absolutely love Aveda products! I have been using their products for over four years and I don’t plan on ever stopping. This formula works great for my hair and really does help with the frizz. I use this product a few minutes after I shower and let my hair air-dry.”

Whether you’re opting for Chris Appleton-level blowout results or are simply looking to shave your dry time in half, allow T3’s Airebrush Duo to do the hard work for you. The flat side helps to make your hair straight enough to avoid further damage with flat irons, while the round brush adds volume and body. Plus, it has a cool button and a variety of heat and speed settings for a more personalized experience.

What people are saying: “Best purchase I’ve ever made in regard to hair styling tools. Oh My God!! This left my hair feeling super soft. Usually after blow-drying my hair, it is so frizzy and just an overall busted, crusted mess. I then have to use my flat iron to tame and smooth it out. But with the T3, I don’t have to necessarily do that anymore (I have naturally wavy hair and lots of baby hairs; so I often need a smaller tool—like flat iron—to touch up the front pieces). Bottom line this product is amazing!!”

Those with frizzy hair dread the moment they have to step foot outside their home to brave whatever weather threats their hairstyle. Humidity stands no chance against this gem from John Frieda, which has a heat-activated formula that keeps hair smooth and tamed for up to three whole days.

What people are saying: “I have naturally curly/wavy and frizzy hair—it’s thin though, but as soon as I walk out with a straightened look, it starts to puff up. I read good reviews on this and am stunned. I just got back from brunch and my hair is still flat and smooth! Nothing has been able to hold my hair like this before and I’ll definitely be buying it again. A great value for a good product.”

Blow-drying and styling your hair post-wash day is a battle in itself. Luckily, Garnier created a styling cream that does most of the work in the shower so you cut to the chase and get straight to styling.

What people are saying: “I absolutely love this product!!! It helps to blow-dry my hair so much faster and keeps it smooth with much less frizz. I don’t even have to get the flat iron out anymore! Such a timesaver. I used to buy it at Wal-Mart, but they don’t carry it anymore, no one does and I have looked everywhere. SO HAPPY I can order it on Amazon now.”

Oribe products are basically a spa for your hair. Think of this cream as the warm blanket wrapped around you before you drift off into serenity. Your hair is enveloped in Oribe’s Signature Complex—a house blend of watermelon, lychee, and elderweiss flower—along with hydrolyzed quinoa and Yacón root juice and other ingredients that strengthen the hair while protecting it from heat damage.

What people are saying: “I recently picked this up on recommendation of a friend and have not looked back since. This product has quickly become an essential in my haircare routine and I will certainly be repurchasing after it runs out. It leaves my hair feeling soft, glossy, and helps me to achieve a straight look without leaving my hair frizzy.”

When used in tandem with the other Press Agent products in the line, the finished result will look just as good as a blowout or press from a professional. But this serum can also stand on its own, courtesy of a formula that seals cuticles, tames frizz, and protects against UV rays.

What people are saying: “This one really blew me away. I applied a lightweight leave in conditioner and then used this serum as my heat-protectant and styler. My blowout was so soft and easy. And when I flat-ironed it, I applied a bit more and—wow the shine, wow the bounce—and very little reversion even in that misty rainy weather. Highly recommend—so glad I found it!”

One small pump deposits a cure-all solution that fights frizz, softens hair, adds shine, and more.

What people are saying: “This green cap serum is the best. I have thick, semi -ourse hair. It calms my ends and bang tips. And makes my hair shiny and soft. Don’t need to use much on damp wet or dry hair. I blow-dry [and am] ready to go.”

If a silky, bouncy finish is what you desire, Biosilk’s cult-favorite Silk Therapy is the product for you. The brand has many iterations, but this OG formula has amassed a following for its salon-caliber results.

What people are saying: “I’ve been using this product for 28 years. I and my daughters can’t live without it!! A couple of times when I couldn’t find it at the stores, I ended up buying something else to hold me over. After, I learned to always buy the big bottle (saving $) and to always have an extra one in my cabinet. I have the traveling bottle as well and before I go anywhere, I make sure to fill it up. My hair feels unhealthy without it!!!”

Just about every silk press tutorial on the interwebs features this glossy baby blue flat iron. The thin, flat ceramic design gets as close to the root as possible to get your hair—no matter the length or density—sleek and straight in one pass. (Trust us.)

What people are saying: “These are the best flat irons ever. The cord has an amazing length, they heat up super fast, and they are easy to clean. Worth every penny.”

The title alone list so many claims to smooth, straighten, and heal your hair, but the proof is in the reviews. Not only does this balm protect your hair from damage, but it’s so lightweight that it helps maintain volume and body, too.

What people are saying: “I use this product nearly daily. My stylist recommended it. I apply two or three pumps to hair outside of the crown. I have naturally straight, fine, shoulder-length hair with long layers. My hair is super smooth with this. No need to use a flat iron; this product does the work without the extra heat. Highly recommend!”

This spray from R+Co acts as a shield for your hair. The formula is water-repellent (so your hair stays straighter longer) with a silkening effect, thanks to a nourishing cocktail of sunflower, acai, and pequi oil.

What people are saying: “I spray this on my hair in sections while I blow-dry. It helps dry my hair quicker and makes it smooth and silky. I have a high volume of fine, curly hair that’s usually very hard to manage. I use a lot of heat styling tools and this spray helps keep my hair soft and manageable.”
