The Best New Hair Care and Hair Accessory Launches of December

On days when you have a little extra time before hopping in the shower, treat yourself — and more specifically, your hair follicles — to this pre-shampoo treatment. The Scalp Booster by Philip B is a self-heating elixir that helps stimulate your scalp and foster a more growth-encouraging environment. The citrus-centric formula is especially effective with every-other-day use.

As far as we're concerned, hair accessories are an extension of jewelry, which is why we're all for splurging on the Lele Sadoughi x Stoney Clover Lane Mixed Pearl & Crystal Knotted Headband. Truly the star of this collaboration, it features a mixture of faux pearls and iridescent crystals atop a wide swath of nylon in the prettiest colors, like lilac (seen here), and lime. You'll find yourself topping off nearly every outfit with this beaut. 

The rumors are true: 4A to 4C curls have finally found their perfect shampoo. Imbue Coil Awakening Sulphate Free Cream Cleanser creates a rich lather without drying out hair, so curls are strong, detangled, and well-defined. You can thank baobab oil and cupuaçu seed butter for all that fortifying moisture so many other shampoos can't seem to provide to super curly hair.

As comfortable as it is chic, the You Go Natural x Urban Outfitters T-Shirt Bun is a dream turban for natural hairstyles. The full-coverage style is lined in a hydration-retaining, gentle satin, while the exterior is the softest cotton. With several solid and patterned options, it's hard to resist snagging a few of these vintage-y accessories.

Head & Shoulders has always been an expert in scalp care, and now, the brand is getting into the hair loss-reversing game with its new Scalp X Minoxidil Hair Regrowth Treatment. The proven over-the-counter formula, formatted as a topical leave-on aerosol foam, helps stimulate growth with consistent use. And thanks to this three-pack, it's that much easier to make sure you're using it regularly. 

Africa's top hair-extenstion brand, Darling, is finally available in the U.S., and the styles are so beautiful and natural-looking that you'd never imagine they'd be so affordable. Take the Flexi Rod Curls Crochet Hair Extensions, seen here — you get three packs with two 14-inch, pre-looped pieces each for just $30. They can be styled in so many ways, and with the right care can last indefinitely.

One of the ingredients in Vegamour's Enso Overnight Restoring Mask seems to be a brain, considering it actually adapts to the needs of the hair it's being used on. There's no brain listed, though (thank goodness, honestly), so its seemingly customized damage repairing abilities can be chalked up to a smart blend of peptides and botanical oils like that of meadowfoam and baobab seeds that help reduce frizz and increase moisture. And we're definitely not mad about the aromatherapeutic scent blend of jasmine, ylang ylang, and yuzu.

Once you experience one silk hair accessory, there's no going back. You simply must surround your hair in the satiny fabric's gentle, smoothing ways. The Locks & Mane 100% Silk 3-Piece Scrunchie Set With Pillow Case completely understands this, which is why, in addition to a traditional fluffy scrunchy in silk, it also contains two skinnier silk scrunchies, none of which will dent your hair like typical hair ties. And because your hair truly deserves the best treatment even while you sleep, it also comes with a silk pillowcase (which your skin will thank you for, too). 

If you've always wanted to try Virtue but haven't been sure where to start, let someone with constantly excellent hair be your guide. Jennifer Garner's Healthy Hair Bouquet brings together three of the actor's favorite products from the hair-care brand, and we must say, she has great taste. You get the Restorative Treatment Mask, the Healing Oil, and the 6-in-1 Styler, all of which contain the damage-repairing proprietary Alpha Keratin 60ku.

Keyshia Cole has teamed up with Red by Kiss to create Silky Stylez, a collection of glamorous protective accessories. This Glitter Scarf is a head-turner with its reversible holographic finish and versatile styling options — think top knots, a low roll, a bow, and more. The lightweight must-have comes in five super pretty colors, and at just $8, you'll definitely want more than one.

If you have yet to make the switch to solid shampoos and conditioners, the Spinster Sisters Rosemary Mint Conditioner Bar may just do the trick. This block of wholesome goodness melts into hair to provide the moisturizing and conditioning benefits of cocoa butter, shea butter, coconut oil, jojoba oil, argan oil, and honey while leaving behind a refreshing, minty scent.
