Maybe you have friends who spend hours diligently sifting through the haircare [1] aisles of your go-to beauty retailers, or perhaps that person is you. Regardless of who it is you're shopping for, you're not going to want to miss this holiday season's most exciting hair launches.
The best haircare gifts [2] this year include best-sellers wrapped in festive new packageing, accessories that will add sparkle to your party updos [3], treatments that will revive your hair during holiday break, and minis that you can take with you as you travel home to your loved ones. Read on to learn more about this year's best haircare products and sets to gift.
Supersonic Hair Dryer Gift Edition With Red Case
Beauty editors and hairstylists alike agree: the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer was the most innovative launch of 2016. After all, it took a team of over 100 engineers to develop it. Since then, it has become a go-to for hair pros. Its highlights include a lightweight body (it weighs in just above a pound without attachments), a quiet motor, and the ability to cut your dry time in half. This blow dryer already has a sleek, futuristic body but is getting an equally sophisticated makeover for this Winter. The Supersonic Hair Dryer Gift Edition [4] ($399) features red packageing in place of its signature magenta and sits in a leather case of the same hue.
Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! Honey Moisture Deep Conditioning Mask
Not only is the bear-shaped bottle of the Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! Honey Moisture Deep Conditioning Mask [5] ($36) an adorable addition to any shower nook, but it also works wonders on different hair types. The emollient mask is packed with moisturising honey and oils (like almond and rosehip) that leave curls and waves defined, and hair feeling silky soft.
Tocca Hair Fragrance in Florence
Spritz away. The Tocca Hair Fragrance in Florence [6] ($28) is a floral scented mixture that uses a mix of oils to moisturise and leave hair with a hint of shine.
Kristin Ess Pillowcase and Mini French Pin
Protecting your hair from damage has never looked this chic. The Kristin Ess Pillowcase and Mini French Pin [7] ($15) set includes a satin pillow that not only feels incredible against your face but also prevents tangles and any excess tugging or physical damage to your hair while you sleep. It also comes with two french pins that you can use to secure a loose bun to preserve your hairstyle overnight. The best part? The kit is only $15.
Shu Uemura Art of Hair Pokémon Cleansing Oil Gentle Radiance Cleanser Shampoo
The Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil Gentle Radiance Cleanser Shampoo [8] ($57) is wrapped in an adorable Pikachu print as part of the Shu Uemura Art of Hair x Pokémon line. This shampoo is sure to delight fans of the anime, as it gently cleanses and leaves it clean, shiny, and soft.
Mason Pearson Brush
The fancy Mason Pearson Brush [9] ($105) will give you even fancier hair with its mixture of gently detangling bristles.
Justine Marjan x Kitsch Plain Patent Scrunchie 2-Piece Set in Blush
Justine Marjan's high-shine barrettes with Kitsch have prompted "oohs" and "ahhs" among beauty editors (earning them a Power Your Pretty Award [10] here at POPSUGAR). For her third collection with the brand, however, she decided to add one accessory that skips the heavy sparkle, but doesn't fail to elevate your hairstyle: the Justine Marjan x Kitsch Plain Patent Scrunchie in Blush [11] ($29).
Gucci Bloom Hair Mist
This Gucci Bloom Hair Mist [12] ($49) will have you leaving behind a dreamy, scented trail of jasmine and tuberose everywhere you walk.

The minis inside of the Drybar A Lil' Drybar To Go Travel Set [13] ($25, originally $29) make perfect stocking stuffers when you want to give the gift of great hair.
Slip Silk Pillowcase
Getting a good night's sleep is important so you look and feel your best, making the Slip Silk Pillowcase [14] ($85) the perfect gift for self-care. It creates a smooth surface for you to get your beauty sleep on, meaning you won't create friction on your skin and hair (a big cause of split ends, frizz, and fine lines) while you toss and turn.
Olaplex Holiday Hair Fix Set
Make your colour-treated hair shine as bright as some of the brightest baubles of this holiday season with the Olaplex Holiday Hair Fix Set [15] ($58).
Frank Body Non-Stop Hair Duo Kit
If you don't have the time or funds for an in-salon hair treatment, the Frank Body Non-Stop Hair Duo Kit [16] ($35) is the next best thing. The set, which includes the brand's scalp scrub and hair mask, will moisturise your hair and scalp, leaving it looking and feeling like you'd just spent the afternoon being pampered by a professional.
