    THE BEST HAIR PRODUCTS 2024 Edition on Daytime Chicago

    Whether it’s the winter weather, chemical treatments, or even hormonal changes (guys, we’re looking at you, too), we understand the struggle. Today, we’re on Daytime Chicago to share some of our favorite new hair products. Get ready for a #goodhairday every single day!

    There are a ton of serums out there that claim to work, BUT this one is clinically proven to. It even reigned superior to minoxidil in a peer-reviewed clinical trial. 

    KilgourMD The Treatment Serum
    PRICE: $89.00
    SHOP: @kilgourmd.com
    Developed by a Stanford dermatologist, the KilgourMD system is clinically proven to prevent and treat the appearance of hair thinning. It’s made up of two transformative scalp serums: The Prevention Scalp Serum (which is like sunscreen for the scalp) prevents environmentally driven aging and the appearance of hair thinning and loss of vitality that sets in over time. The Treatment Scalp Serum (which is like a facelift for the scalp) maximizes the appearance of remaining hair once the damage has already been done. The combination of the active ingredients found in the KilgourMD system was superior to minoxidil in a peer-reviewed clinical trial, with no known side effects.

    Babe Original is another brand that can give you the hair of your dreams. These gummies work while you sleep and do so much more than give you healthy hair; they simmer down stress and boost relaxation. And this Glossy Rinse makes hair so insanely shiny.

Relaxation and Beauty Sleep: These gummies aren’t just for your hair; they also promote relaxation and improved sleep with melatonin and L-theanine. Wake up with beautiful hair and a well-rested feeling, all from a delicious berry chew. *Stress Management with Ashwagandha: Ashwagandha, an adaptogenic herb in these gummies, helps manage stress, which can impact both hair health and overall well-being. Incorporating stress reduction into your daily routine has never been more convenient or tasty.

Whether you have a few extra minutes for pampering or need a quick fix, this treatment provides mesmerizing results that will leave your hair looking and feeling fabulous.

    Garnier still dominates our Shampoo and Conditioner picks with the Hair Filler line. This entire collection’s genius is that it fills in the gaps in the follicle where hair is damaged. My personal favorite is the strength repair. It whipped my over-processed hair back into shape.

    Garnier Fructis Strength Repair with Vitamin Cg
    PRICE: $9.99
    SHOP: @Amazon
    Repair hair with Garnier’s NEW 4-Step inner fiber repair collection, made to reverse the damage and fill the hair with strength. This sulfate-free Hair Filler + Vitamin Cg system is formulated with Vitamin Cg + Citric Acid + Repair Care Complex and fills weak, damaged hair with strength. Many factors can damage and weaken the hair fiber. These factors include brushing, styling tools, excessive washing, and environmental exposures like UV light and seawater. Made with Vitamin Cg — a well-known antioxidant that traps free radicals generated by external aggressors such as pollution and UV — as well as citric acid and Repair Care Complex, the system enables repair of the hair fiber and shields it against further mechanical and external damage. Fill hair with strength 7 layers deep with our system for inner fiber repair and outer visible transformation.
