The JVN Complete Instant Recovery Serum ($29, originally $43) is made to reduce split ends, smooth and restore hair, and protect hair from heat styling. "If you just wore the same T-shirt, day in and day out, all the time, it's going to be tattered. It's not going to hold up well. You need to do something to condition and help to strengthen the integrity of the structure of the hair. So using some sort of buffer to help infuse the hair with strength from the elements is really important," Van Ness says.
Pro Tip: Van Ness recommends starting with a grape-size amount and adding more depending on the thickness and porosity of your hair. Use this before your other products or on its own when your hair is damp or straight out of the shower.
