1 & 2. Shampoo and Conditioner to max out your shower benefits
This powerful combo uses an Ayurvedic blend containing turmeric and ginseng to help reduce hair loss up to 33 percent. It keeps your scalp healthy to prevent hair loss, and thickens your hair strands. The shampoo removes build-up that can clog pores (thus blocking hair follicles!) and renews your scalp with wintergreen-derived salicylic acid. Meanwhile, the thickening conditioner contains soy protein and naturally derived amino acids that mimic your hair's building blocks to help weightlessly thicken hair from within. You can check out a trial kit, which also includes a scalp revitalizer, for just $8. (Aveda.com)

6. When you need a dry shampoo
Herbal Essences Body Envy Dry Shampoo: Dry shampoos are great, but it's important to know they aren't all made the same.

Herbal Essences celeb hairstylist Charles Baker Strahan explains it: "Tapioca expands as it works and coats the hair to literally make it thicker — it's not just a second-day hair product but an amazing styling tool to build body that lasts as it effectively absorbs oil."
