Over the years, my hair has gone through many different eras. It's like I'm on tour with Taylor Swift. From silk presses to box braids to the (very short-lived) Naturalist era, my hair has always felt like a part of myself. These days, I'm on a quest for stronger, fuller hair and I'm not going to waste my time on products that don't work, so I'm currently on Amazon searching for hair-strengthening products that live up to the hype.
I didn't know this until recently, but Amazon's Movers and Shakers storefront is the best place to find trending products, featuring a selection of the top items shoppers purchased in the last 24 hours. In this week's roundup, I found several oil, shampoo, and treatment options that promote growth, add shine, and overall strengthen hair. I know my hair still has many years ahead of it, but I want it to stay thick, shiny, and strong through all of those years, which is why I'm shopping for these trending products, starting at $10.

Olaplex No.6 Bond Smoother Leave-in Treatment
Amazon
The term “cult classic” is overused, but I think it's fair to admit that Olaplex is more than deserving of the title. I have friends with hair types that range from kinky curly to super straight, but many of them swear by Olaplex products.
Purchased by over 50,000 customers in the past month alone, Olaplex Leave-In Treatment is a restorative styling cream that locks in moisture, strengthens hair, and tamps frizz. As a trending item already evident, Amazon customers are obsessed with the formula. One customer who struggles with thinning, breakage wrote that after using the product, her hair was “healthier, more flexible, stronger, smoother” and grew several inches longer. Another shopper looking to get her hair back in shape reported that after using the cream, her hair got a “dream style” and “shined like a brand new coin.”
I'm a picky customer when it comes to hair care products, but if a product is good enough that most of my friends and 50,000 Amazon shoppers are using it, I can't help but try it for myself.
Botanic Hearth Moroccan Argan Oil
Amazon
One of the best parts of my trip to Morocco earlier this year, besides eating endless tajine dishes, was buying all the locally produced argan oil to bring home with me. Having recently used my last bottle, I was delighted to discover that you can buy 100% natural oil on Amazon without ever setting foot abroad.
Botanic Heart's Moroccan Argan Oil, available for just $10, is formulated with a blend of hair-strengthening ingredients, including its key ingredients argan oil, vitamin E oil, and grapeseed oil. Argan oil in particular has antioxidant properties that are known to increase hair elasticity, prevent split ends, and reduce breakage. Botanic Heart's special formula aims to hydrate brittle, damaged hair and thicken it. One customer said the oil left her hair “super moisturized,” while another shopper who struggles with frizz called it a “must-have.”
Instead of spending another few hundred dollars on a plane ticket, buy this top-rated oil on Amazon for just $10.
Miel Rosemary Mint Strengthening Shampoo
Amazon
I love to get obsessed with hair care products, but I have to admit that I've never been very interested in shampoos—that is, until I started using Miel Organics' Rosemary Mint Strengthening Shampoo.
There are so many reasons to love this product that it's hard to know where to start! With growth-promoting ingredients like biotin and rosemary, this shampoo will leave your hair fuller and healthier. Plus, not to mention the spa-like experience: as soon as you lather this product up, a minty, cooling sensation spreads to your scalp and makes your shower smell like your own home oasis.
Over 60,000 shoppers have purchased this shampoo in the last month, which, combined with the fact that it is the number one selling hair growth shampoo on Amazon, is a testament to its quality. One shopper who originally purchased the shampoo to combat dandruff reported that the shampoo made her hair “thicker, stronger, and so much softer.” Another customer who has been using the product for several years reported that her hair was “fuller” than before.
While trial and error is a natural part of the beauty process, seeing what products others are currently loving is a great way to save myself and my wallet from disappointment. Below, you'll find even more customer-loved hair care products that you can buy on Amazon starting at just $17.
