While Georgia may be reopening hair salons this Friday, most of us who have been fending for ourselves when it comes to our hair will be doing so for many weeks and possibly even months to come during quarantine. And while we miss our stylists and the way they lay our hair, one of the key things many of us are likely missing about hitting up the salon is having an expert opinion when it comes to our hair’s health.

Maintaining our manes, whether straight, kinky, or in protective styles is no easy feat, but making sure our strands sustain their strength is absolutely crucial to retaining growth and achieving shine and luster. By now, we’re certain you’ve gotten your shampoo and conditioning game down, but if you’re still in need of a product to deliver the smooth and shine you’re used to without sacrificing your hair’s strength and elasticity, check out these five oils that promise to do just that.MIELLE Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil
