Hair raisers

We always have a “good hair day” when we suds up our tresses with Suave’s Tropical Coconut shampoo. Bonus: The island-y scent takes us worlds away from frigid, gray Chicago. $1 at Walgreens (locations around the city, walgreens.com).

ONE Bath & Body’s solid conditioner hair biscuit is the ultimate space saver and travel-friendly bath product. It even smells good, too. $7 at Walgreens.

Not only does Burt’s Bees Hair Repair Shea & Grapefruit deep conditioner detangle and polish up your locks, the citrus oil and extract leaves them smelling perfectly fresh, too. $8 at Target (locations around the city, target.com).

Part of the recently launched Full Repair line, John Frieda’s Touch-Up Flyaway Tamer goes on like clear mascara and actually smooths down those unwanted flyaways. It’s the easiest solution for hat hair we’ve ever tried. $10 at CVS (locations around the city, cvs.com).

Despite its “super hold” description, Salon Grafix Shaping Hair Spray still allows you to fine-tune your ’do after a few generous spritzes. Plus, you can forget about the crunchy residue other cheap options leave behind. $7 at Walgreens.
