Kinky, curly, or straight, coarse or fine, thick or thin, long or short, full or limp – there are all types of hair out there. Duh, right? What's sad, though, is that even though we all have a different hair type, it seems like you only ever see the same old hair care products on the shelves. That's boring, plus it's a disservice. So, forget about all the names you know. I've gone digging for some underrated but unquestionably fabulous hair care products that might give your locks a little extra bounce.
