I don’t know when it was decided that adults had everything figured out. I mean, I still don’t know what to fill in for my W-2. Similarly, I never have a clue on what to buy for my hair, unless I’m at a salon and a stylist is giving me the exact link for a product. But, by some miracle, I spotted a hair care guide in the last place I’d think to look: Amazon. As a shopping editor, I’m online looking for deals and customer-loved items 24/7, so I pay a little bit more attention to commerce hubs than most normal people would. Because of this, I spotted an easy-to-miss section on the retailer’s beauty page.
As you scroll down past the callouts for Indie Beauty products and the section filled with customer-loved items, you see a rainbow advertisement for hair type guides. I thought, “This is too good to be true,” as I clicked on the “relaxed” section. But low and behold, what I found was seriously impressive. The page has everything from leave-in conditioners to repairing serums, all specific to that one hair type. Plus, the majority of items have higher than a 4.5-star customer rating, so you know that real people back the products up.
