ESSENCE 2011 Beauty Awards: Hair Styling
By · Updated October 29, 2020
01
Finishers: Best Shine Serum

Creme of Nature Argan Oil Gloss & Shine Polisher ($7, drugstores). We loved that just a dollop on wet hair gave us sleek, glossy style.

02
Finishers: Best Twist Cream

Avlon KeraCare Natural Textures Twist and Define Cream ($15, avlon.com). It left hair so shiny we didn’t even need to use a separate moisturizer.

03
Finishers: Best Pomade

Dr. Miracles
Follicle Healer Energizing System ($5, drugstores). The best of both worlds — a styling pomade and a hair and scalp treatment with essential nutrients for healthy hair growth.
