Uncertain times have come between you and your hairstylist, your hundred-dollar haircuts and treatments, not to mention your costly hair care products.
Never fear. You’ll come out of this economic slump with your tresses looking good enough for a shampoo commercial.

Here are Style.com’s recommended products from your favorite stylists.
