Every year, SELF releases the Healthy Beauty Awards, highlighting the best new products for your skin, hair, body, mouth (yes, mouth), and more. As with our previous Healthy Beauty Awards, products were judged based on a set of criteria determined by a board of dermatologists and then tested and reviewed by a team of SELF editors, doctors, derms, influencers, and enthusiasts. Together, we find the best products from the last year—and let you shop all our faves.
Below, you’ll find this year’s award-winning shampoos and conditioners that kept our hair soft, shiny, healthy, and bouncy. They soothed our scalps, added volume to our strands, defined our curls, and they contain ingredients that actually do the work. Among them you’ll find hair-care mainstays like Joico, Olaplex, Cantu, and Head & Shoulders next to up-and-comers that you’ll sprint to add to your wash-day routine. Enjoy the fruits of our labor below—it’s good hair days from here on out.
