Halloween is a week away, but you may already be seeing the scary effects of fall: dry, brittle, and uninspiring coifs. This time of year, the weather can be brutal on our hair. Thankfully, we know of a few potions that can magically transform fried-looking tresses into silky smooth strands right before our eyes.

You don’t need a book of spells to cast out dry hair demons. All you need is a spritz of our favorite glossy hair serums. In the gallery below, we’ve rounded up the best products to make your curls sparkle and shine and even glow in the dark.
