I’ve been known to launch into 10-minute diatribes about how difficult it is to turn my mass of coarse, frizzy tresses into a silky, shiny waterfall. I’ve tried just about every product out there—or, at least, I thought I had. And then, after a recent Reddit scroll through popular beauty products and trends, I discovered a very helpful thread on beauty products for the “softest hair ever.” Well, consider my interest piqued.
I’m no stranger to Reddit; I’ve already dug into the world of unsexy beauty products and been influenced to try multiple popular mascaras. But this most recent scroll definitely seems like my greatest windfall yet. Some hair products, like my beloved Amika Soulfood Nourishing Mask, popped up multiple times, which made me feel like I’ve been doing at least something right in the soft hair department. But I definitely discovered multiple other products that shoppers raved about because, simply put, they work.
Curious about which soft hair products Reddit users can’t stop buying? You’re in luck. I dug deep into the thread to uncover these 10 must-have products, starting at just $5.
L’Oréal Paris Elvive 8 Second Wonder Water, $11 (Originally $12)
Verb Ghost Oil, $34
OGX Extra Strength Hydrate & Repair Argan Oil of Morocco Hair Mask, $17
L’Oréal Paris Elvive Hyaluron Plump 72H Hydrating Conditioner, $5 (Originally $6)
Redken All Soft Shampoo
Amazon
I had actually forgotten about Redken’s All Soft line until I scrolled this Reddit thread—but as soon as I did, I remembered that I used it at least a decade ago and it totally transformed my hair. And I’m not alone; one Reddit user said they’ve been using it for six months and their hair is “so much softer now [with] visibly less damage.” That’s thanks in large part to argan oil, which helps to cleanse, soften, and nourish every strand from root to tip. Plus, it’s racked up a whopping 17,000-plus five-star ratings on Amazon. Looks like I’m re-adding it to my soft hair arsenal, stat.
Amika Soulfood Nourishing Mask
Amazon
A friend with similar hair recommended this hair mask to me almost two years ago, and it’s become one of my most treasured products ever since. In fact, I also turned my mom onto it, and she now buys it in bulk, too. We both love that it softens and smooths hair within only five minutes, has the most buttery and rich texture, and makes the need for conditioner obsolete. (That’s something I never thought I’d say.)
Multiple Reddit users recommended this mask, and one person said it makes hair “sleek and hydrated and very soft.” It’s a favorite of thousands of Amazon shoppers, too, who said it made hair “healthy and easy to manage” and they felt the difference “immediately.”
Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula Moisture Boost Shampoo
Amazon
Want to soften your strands on a budget? This shampoo from Palmer’s is only $6—and it packs a major moisturizing wallop. The rich, creamy formula is non-stripping, color-safe, and helpful for all curly textures. Plus, it’s formulated with the brand’s signature Moisture Boost System, which helps repair dryness and damage with hydrating coconut oil. One Reddit user, who’s used it in tandem with the Moisture Boost Conditioner for almost 10 years, said “nothing suits [their] dry hair like this combo” and they’re “always going back to this staple.”
Davines Oi All In One Hair Milk
Amazon
This leave-in conditioner has earned over 11,000 five-star ratings on Amazon; more than 9,000 shoppers purchased it this month alone. In fact, it got so many rave reviews across both Reddit and Amazon that I found myself immediately adding it to my cart. As someone who depends on leave-in conditioning sprays for soft, manageable strands, I’m definitely intrigued by this one, which contains beta-carotene-rich roucou oil, provitamin B5, and a functional amino complex that help control frizz, hydrate, protect, and soften hair. Speaking of those reviews, Reddit users said it “actually changed” their hair, it’s “never been so soft and shiny,” and it “smells really nice.” It definitely ticks all my soft hair boxes.
