There’s nothing simple about a random search on Ulta’s website. Trust me, I’ve tried it. Even if you zero in on just one type of product, like hot tools, you’ll be hit with pages upon pages of results and eventually, find yourself looking at things that have absolutely nothing to do with what you were initially searching for. It’s both a beauty and curse because more often than not, you end up discovering something that would actually do your routine some good. Personally, I’ve found that the best hair products at Ulta 2021 are discovered this way.

Because while reading product reviews can be informational and highly amusing, it’s a time-suck that most of us don’t have time for. So in an effort to at least make your hair journey a bit more efficient, I’ve got a rundown of the Ulta hair products that continue to don the best-seller badge. They’re a hodge-podge of well, everything; from color-protectant shampoos and conditioners to non-crunchy gel and multifunctional hot tools. Some won’t cost more than an expensive lunch; others…not so much. But overall, there’s a motley crew that covers an impressively wide gamut of needs. Keep scrolling for a closer look.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.
