According to my crystal ball, I see a new holy grail hair product in your future.

If you've ever found yourself battling flyaways, feeling defeated by dull strands, or desperately wanting to rejuvenate those edges, your routine might just be missing a good hair oil. Finding the right hair oil can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack, but fear not. Whether you’re on a quest for an oil that can tame frizz, provide eye-catching shine, promote growth, or bring back to life dry or damaged hair, we’ve got you covered. Here are some of the best hair oils to consider, including a reparative K18 oil for color-treated strands, a nourishing Cécred oil that's great for sealing in moisture in textured hair, and a Briogeo scalp oil that's game changing for wash day.

Kerastase Elixir Ultime oil, which one reviewer swears is "witchcraft" since it seemingly shape-shifts to address whatever your hair needs. Whether you're using it as a pre-wash treatment, a pre-blow-dry protector, a finishing touch, or a midday touch-up, this oil is a multitasking miracle. It leaves your hair silky smooth, with a shine so dazzling it could rival glass, all without any greasy residue.  

Promising review: "Give it a chance, might just change your hair life! 😊✨ My go-to! Never greasy, my hair always feels so soft. I love giving this time to sink in on my hair — with the right care, it leaves my hair silky and not wet looking, lightweight, soft, and smelling good. The scent isn’t overpowering. I’ve tried a lot of hair serums and I’ve come back to this one every time. I’d say it’s worth the cost because the quality never disappoints me! It does last me a good time. I do use a leave-in conditioner before blow-drying, then add approximately a pump and half of the serum and put it through my mid to ends, I have thick hair and this is enough for me. I apply more when I feel I need to but it’s just enough, still never wears my hair down. Give it a try, the serum knows what it’s doing 😉." —Ks

Get it from Amazon for $32+ (available in two sizes and a refill) or Sephora for $32.

A TikTok-famous Mielle scalp and hair oil, formulated with biotin, jojoba, rosemary, and mint to give your scalp that extra boost and potentially help promote hair growth. Just add a couple of drops to your edges, bald spots, sparse eyebrows, or anywhere else that could use some extra love. Reviewers with alopecia swear by this, with some even noting they saw a difference as soon as four weeks!

According to the Cleveland Clinic, some researchers have found rosemary oil to be as effective at encouraging hair growth as Rogaine. And read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair.

Promising reviews: "Legit magic in a bottle. Wish I could order this stuff by the gallon. Took a chance on this because I was desperate, having already spent so much money on luxury and drugstore products with little results. I use this as a pre-treatment on my scalp and ends before I wash my hair. Scalp has improved dramatically. I feel like there’s not as much breakage/fallout, and my ends are fuller. (This is after like six months, but my scalp was better immediately.)" —Claire Blanchard

"I hardly write reviews...but this one deserves to be written about!! My hair was falling out a LOT, and somehow just with the FIRST application onwards, I started seeing less fall. And now, after four months, I can see hair growth as well, and my hair is already looking thicker!! And I’ve been using it only once a week.. just a few drops and massaging in. Omg, how can anything be so simple and yet so effective!!! Amazing! Amazing!!! Whoever invented this... hats off!!" —Dee

A K18 Molecular Repair oil made for hair that's dry, brittle, color-treated, and damaged from that super tight hair tie you keep in 24/7. It's supercharged with a highly concentrated K18-patented peptide that dives down to the molecular level, repairing and reinforcing your hair's natural moisture barrier, reducing frizz and flyaways, and bringing your locks back to life with extra shine. 

Promising reviews: "My first two drops were yesterday as soon as I opened the package and I'm absolutely shocked with the results in my hair. I'm not exaggerating at all. My ends look beautiful and healthy, and overall my hair feels so soft. I'm very obsessed with this brand." —Michelle

"This is 100% worth the price!! This stuff has absolutely saved my hair. I'm a huge fan of the K18 mask to start with, and after going a little too hard while touching up my blonde highlights, my hair was in major need of repair. I got this as it had the oil included and OH MY GOD can you tell the difference. Both of these products are absolute powerhouses! If your hair has any damage at all or is in need of moisture I can't recommend it enough! Definitely expensive but worth it." —Izzie A

Get it from Amazon for $27+ (available in two sizes) or Sephora for $27.

A silicone-free Bread Beauty Supply Hair Oil Everyday Gloss that (to put it simply) ate and left no crumbs. This oil leaves your strands looking JUICCYY with a high-definition gloss (but no sticky residue) that'll have people stopping you to ask your secret. Reviewers also call out the scent, saying it smells like strawberry Lip Smackers — sweet, nostalgic, and oh-so-yummy.

Promising review: "This hair oil is DIVINE! It is indeed lip gloss for your hair and I absolutely love it. I didn't realize how dry my hair was before applying the oil (a little goes a long way). The packaging is luxurious. The oil is great quality. It is worth every scent and now my staple. This is my first purchase from the brand and will likely explore other products." —GL

Get it from Ulta for $14+ (available in two sizes) or Sephora for $20+ (available in two sizes).

A Moroccanoil treatment oil with a jaw-dropping 76,000 5-star ratings, ready to tackle those annoying hair troubles like dryness, frizz, and flyaways. A little goes a long way to achieve softer hair, and some reviewers even notice their color-treated hair got a boost. And for some extra razzle-dazzle, you can either warm up the oil or apply it and sit under a hair dryer for a deep conditioning treatment.

Promising reviews: "I have natural hair, 4b/4c, and this oil kept me from losing all my hair do to extreme breakage from heat styling. It helps keep my hair straight. If it would get frizzy, I would apply a tiny amount and wrap my hair in a duby, and it will look nice again. Try this product because it is worth it. Buy the small size like I did. It lasts forever." —Hanna

"Wonderful to keep your hair ends healthy and moisturized. I have very, long fine hair and my daughter has curly, coarse hair, and it works great for both of us." —J.l.g.415

"This has been a game changer for my hair. My hair is thick and very wavy/almost curly. I am in the ocean and in the humidity every day, and my hair soaks this stuff up. I put on a generous amount to wet hair and let it mostly dry, then brush and put in a braid for the best results with my hair. It also smells amazing! Also great for post-haircut ends." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $20+ (available in three sizes).

A Cécred nourishing hair oil using the powers of 13 luscious oils, all working together to seal in moisture and reinforce textured hair’s lipid barrier. It actually absorbs into your strands like magic instead of just sitting on top, leaving your protective styles and silk presses looking fire and feeling even better.

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Jordan Grigsby loves this stuff: "I finally got my hands on this bad boy, and oh, baby, it is incredible. I've been trying to figure out how to style my curly clip-in extensions and make them match my real hair, but nothing has been working. I did a braid-out three times and it just didn't look right, I was literally ready to give up and just straighten my hair again. That is, until I added this. This and the moisture-sealing lotion work ridiculously well together; they're the most magical duo ever for curls. My braid-out turned out so perfectly, I'm still in disbelief. Plus, my hair isn't oily!! It absorbed so well. I put it on one side of my hair at a time, and its definition difference was wild. My curls haven't looked this curly in years. I also use it on my straight extensions to help my hair blend seamlessly with them, and it works perfectly."

Promising reviews: "I have thick, long, coarse hair. I am of Asian decent. I've tried many hair oils. They look and feel nice after, but my hair feels dry and looks it the next day. I shampoo my hair twice a week, so I wanted something that lasted. I used a few drops of this on my damp hair and even a smaller amount after. This has been the best so far. I recommend this product if you have thick and coarse hair." —Angie

"The Nourishing Hair Oil is the best oil I have ever used on my 4C hair. It absorbs so well into my hair and scalp, keeping my hair so soft. A little does go a long way." —CoCo

Get it from Ulta for $22+ (available in two sizes).

An Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil that's been referred to as "liquid gold," and your split ends will drink it up, leaving your hair looking more polished with fewer flyaways. This miracle-in-a-bottle also doubles as a heat protectant (up to 450 degrees F) and seals your ends so you can feel a lot more confident when using your hot tools.

Promising review: "Liquid gold!!!!! I use a tiny bit on my end twice a day (dry hair) and it’s totally restored the softness, shine, and manageability of my hair in less than a month. I love the packaging too. I have fewer tangles and my hair is stronger, plus the ends are shiny which has never happened in my life. I don’t have damaged hair so I don’t know about the damage repair, but I did have really dry, brittle, frizzy hair and this has totally fixed all that. Let me say, WORTH IIIIIT." —Christine

A spray bottle of Verb Ghost Oil that deserves its own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Infused with moringa extract, this oil hydrates and fights frizz without weighing the hair down, leaving you with bouncy and voluminous locks.

Promising reviews: "I have long, 4a textured hair that I blow out straight in the winter. I use this oil as a finisher after blowing and/or flat ironing AND I use this on the ends of my hair every single day. This has been a game changer for me. No split ends means I've had tremendous hair retention this year and this oil probably deserves 75% of the credit. Nice smell. Good moisture. Great protection. Also it doesn't lay on top of hair, it melts into hair, which is why most could use it daily. Will be buying this product forever!" —Lisa Lang Blakeney

"This stuff is amazing. I have fine hair, but a lot of it. This doesn't weigh it down at all. One pump is all it takes for my shoulder-length hair. It's a miracle and a total game-changer for me. Worth EVERY PENNY." —K. Garvey

Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in three sizes and as sets).

A lightweight JVN Complete Oil perfect for defining those bouncy curls and luscious waves, adding just the right amount of oomph without weighing them down and losing volume. Plus, reviewers are raving about its ability to "scrunch out the crunch" from gels, leaving your locks soft and touchable.

Promising reviews: "I use this to break my gel cast after my curly hair routine. It is very lightweight but surprisingly effective. It made my hair shiny and soft. I have thick, coarse hair, but it is also a mixture of 2b/c and 3a. Definitely recommend for this purpose! I bet it works well after you have straightened your hair for extra shine. Light and not greasy at all." —Madison

"I have wavy to curly long hair that has become more frizzy and course as the grays come in. I have tried so many products (hair oils, serums, leave in conditioners, etc.), but none seemed to work well. This product is legitimately amazing! My hair is shiny and silky without being weighed down or greasy. I am so glad I gave it a try!" —Amazon Customer

RŌZ Santa Lucia Styling Oil because we love our curling irons and straighteners, but the last thing we want is for our hair to be looking "fried, dyed, and laid to the side." This oil protects luscious locks from heat styling up to a sizzling 450 degrees *and* it's also your secret weapon against humidity. We wouldn't want all your hard work to go to waste as soon as you step outside!

Promising review: "I absolutely love this hair styling oil recommended by my stylist. I use it every time I air dry my hair, and it wonderfully tames frizz and leaves my hair feeling smooth and manageable. It’s lightweight and doesn’t weigh my hair down, making it perfect for everyday use. I’m already on my second bottle and definitely plan to keep using it — it’s made a noticeable difference in the texture and appearance of my hair. Highly recommend for anyone struggling with frizz!" —V Martin

A Bondi Boost oil described as a "weightless oil" that not only gives your locks that enviable shine but also tames frizz like nobody’s business and protects against heat up to 450 degrees F. It's the finishing touch you need for your hairdo to flourish. *chef’s kiss* 

Promising review: "This oil is amazing. Not only does it smell so so good but it also has so many benefits. I love that it's a weightless oil that helps with frizz and dead ends, but it’s also a heat protector!! I will never go back to my other heat protector. You won’t regret buying this. PS: If you pair it with the leave-in mask, it leaves your hair super soft and shiny." —Matthias Ortiz

A Dr. Groot scalp tonic — a Korean haircare gem that features a concentrator spray nozzle so you can deliver that rosemary and peppermint oil, biotin, and hyaluronic acid goodness right where you need it most. It's formulated to tackle dryness and promote overall scalp health, which is the secret sauce to improving hair thickness and retention.

Promising review: "This tonic is amazing! It feels super refreshing on my scalp — like a cool minty tingle that wakes everything up. The smell is so nice too, kind of herbal and clean, not too strong. After using it for a couple of weeks, I’ve noticed way less hair falling out and even some new baby hairs starting to grow. My scalp feels way healthier and less itchy, and it doesn’t leave any greasy feeling at all. I also love that it doesn’t have sulfates, silicones, or parabens. Definitely adding this to my regular routine — so glad I found it! —Hyunjoo K.

A Gisou honey-infused hair oil that helps your hair hold onto moisture while smoothing, strengthening, and conditioning your strands with coconut and almond oils. The honey scent is light and lovely, with one reviewer saying it has a hint of rose. It’s noticeable without being too in-your-face, unlike some other oils that can be a bit extra.

Promising reviews: "Perfect for curls! I was a bit skeptical about this hair oil because I have never found an oil that works for my fine 3a curls, but this is the best hair oil on the market! It hydrates the hair and leaves it shiny but not weighed down or greasy. Plus the smell is to die for. I wish I had tried this oil sooner!" —Louiebylizzie

"Thumbs up for fine thin hair. I have fine, thin hair and I really like this oil. I don’t use much, one drop is plenty for me... This is the first and only oil I’ve used that gives my hair beautiful SHINE without weighing it down, just soft bouncy shiny healthy hair...I’ve tried tons of hair oils over the years and this one is my favorite." —Lernzy

"Not so oily, which helps a lot, especially with my 4c hair. Smells really good…and improves shine for long hours." —oasare

Get it from Amazon or Sephora for $25+ (available in two sizes).

A Briogeo pre-wash oil, a game-changing new addition to your "wash day" routine. This treat preps your dry scalp and thirsty strands before you even hit the shower. You can either apply it for 10–15 minutes before washing or go all out and leave it in overnight for some next-level nourishment. Trust me, your hair will thank you with all the shine and smoothness.

Promising review: "I ran out of my other scalp pre-shampoo oil and wanted to try something new. I read through soooooo many reviews trying to find what would be worth the money and landed on this one! I’ve been using this the night before washing (also using it with a microneedle stamp) for four weeks now and have noticed so many new baby hairs/growth! Very excited to see how those grow out and fill in my hair fullness." —M. and S. Cioffi

Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in two sizes).

An Honest Amish beard oil reviewers say worked when nothing else did. It's praised for its moisturizing properties, making beards shinier and softer without that greasy feel. It also conditions the skin under your beard to help prevent dandruff.

Promising review: "This is my first time properly growing a beard, and this product was recommended to me by a barber due to its quality. The smell is attractive and its effectiveness is noticeable after just a few days. The ingredients used as well make all the difference, especially when it comes to something that you are going to be applying/moisturizing/conditioning/soaking into your skin. Don't skimp out because something else is a few dollars cheaper, or comes in different scents, make sure you are taking care of your beard and especially your skin! The biggest problem I started facing with my beard, especially while just generally growing it, was that I started getting 'chin dandruff.' This cleared that up predominantly in a few days, and my beard is left feeling extremely smooth, clean, and free. I will forever be a life time customer of Honest Amish." —Joshua Kaylor
