items I've tried both ends of the price range on almost everything in my hair routine, so instead of picking one, I'm putting them side by side. Splurge or save, both routes get you to genuinely good hair. You know your budget better than I do, so pick whi...>ᴗ•) !

˚₊⋆Scalp & Treatment⋆₊˚
This is where good hair actually starts. A few of these have a direct high-end and drugstore option side by side, and a couple are just already worth it at their price.
The shampoo that made me actually enjoy wash day again.˚ ༘ ✧

What I switched to once Aura Botanica got discontinued, and it fills the same spot in my routine. ☾⋆⁺₊

Kérastase | Nutritive 8H Magic Night Hair Serum for Dry Hair
For when the Kérastase bottle is running low and payday isn't close enough. (ㅅ´ ˘ `)
It works overnight while you sleep instead of adding another step to your morning. It still functions as a heat protectant, which was the part I worried it would ski...
L'Oreal Paris | EverPure Bond Repair Oil-in-Serum Hair Repair for Strength and Shine
I switched to this on the months I couldn't justify the Kérastase price. (๑•́ -•̀)

˚₊⋆Styling Tools⋆₊˚
The tools are where the price gap gets the biggest, so I wanted to be honest about which gaps are worth paying for and which ones aren't.
The tool that made me stop owning five separate hair tools⋆𐐂𐐚⋅
Versatile. You can switch out the head attachments depending on what you're doing with your hair that day, and it's genuinely worth it if you want one tool that does several jobs.
Dyson | Airwrap i.d. Multi-styler and Dryer Straight+Wavy Hair
The one that made me question why I almost spent $600 in the first place.
It has the same concept as the Airwrap, one tool that dries, smooths, and curls depending on the attachment. Very versatile and flexible

The college-budget answer to a tool I couldn't otherwise justify.
A 2-in-1 curling wand and titanium flat iron in one tool, covering a lot of the same ground at a much more realistic price.
