From nervously trying your first at-home haircut [1] to compulsively studying TikTok tips for less-than-clean hair, chances are you've done at least one different thing [2] in your beauty routine [3] while you've been staying home. And, if so, you're not alone.
We analysed the data of what hair-care products POPSUGAR readers have been buying while social distancing these past few months, whether newly embracing all the ways to style a bun [4], or giving hair a heat-styling break. Of course, there are top-rated shampoos and conditioners, but there are also new products [5] for anyone who needs a little help adding or maintaining colour, or dealing with hair that's suddenly dry [6] and prone to breakage.
See the Sephora hair-care products people have been buying the most while socially distancing, ahead.
Drunk Elephant Cocomino Glossing Shampoo

Moroccanoil Colour Depositing Mask
Pick up this Moroccanoil Colour Depositing Mask [9] ($7-$28) if you're looking to enhance your current hair colour — or add a pop of colour [10] like rose gold or aquamarine. Each tube doubles as a deep conditioning treatment thanks to hydrating argan and apricot kernel oil also inside.
Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! Strengthening Treatment Hair Oil
It may be a fairly new product [11], but this Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! Strengthening Treatment Hair Oil [12] ($30) is already popular for its work bonding split cuticles and also protecting hair against future damage with nourishing ceramides and essential fatty acids.
dpHUE Gloss+ Semi-permanent Hair Colour and Deep Conditioner

Bumble and bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Heat and UV Protective Primer
The sun protection inside this Bumble and bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Heat and UV Protective Primer [15] ($13-$28) can prove extra helpful when the weather heats up, but the detangling leave-in treatment still protects dry, brittle hair from hot tools year-round.
Moroccanoil Treatment Light
This frizz-fighting Moroccanoil Treatment Light [16] ($15-$44) is the lighter-weight version of their iconic formula [17] — so it brings desirable softness, shine, and strength to finer hair textures without weighing styles down.

Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner
Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner [20] ($14-$28) deeply hydrates hair while also making it more manageable, shiny, and stronger as those broken bonds that lead to breakage are helped to mend with this product as well.
Olaplex No. 6 Bond Smoother Reparative Styling Creme
Not only does this Olaplex No. 6 Bond Smoother Reparative Styling Creme [21] ($28) hydrate and strengthen all hair types, it also speeds up blow dry times to result in smoother, less frizzy styles in the end.
