Hello, August. Sure, this month may signal that summer is winding down, but we're not speaking those negative vibes into existence just yet. Instead, we're focusing our energy on all of the amazing new hair-care, skin-care, and makeup launches coming our way. There's still plenty of fun to be had with cool hair dyes, styling tools, and repairing products to fix it all if you've been experimenting a lot.
On the list of things to get excited about this month are a few really cool collaborations, including one between fan-favorite hair-dye brand, Hally, and a well-known YouTuber. Plus, folks with curly hair can keep their wash-and-go fresh for a few days longer, thanks to a new curl-enhancing product from Amika. And if you haven't done so already, now would be a great time to hop on the shampoo bar bandwagon to try out a new solid co-wash from Ethique.
Check back throughout the month for details on other new product launches, including other curly-hair-specific newness and a major fragrance collaboration between two beloved brands. For now, keep scrolling to see the rest of the best new hair-care products to snap up in August.
Be sure to check back weekly for new hair-care launches that are dropping this month. (Trust us, you don't want to miss out.)

Complex Culture Smoothing and Straightening Brush
The expansive hot-tools market continues to transform our at-home styling routines. If you're looking for a quick and safe smoothing session, try this new heated brush from Complex Culture.

It's particularly good for slicking curlier textures without losing volume. Within the bristles are flexible grip pins that hold the hair in place as you move it through, so you'll get smoother hair in fewer passes.

Fable & Mane SahaScalp Amla Soothing Serum
Saltwater, chlorine, and sun exposure are all things that can leave your scalp skin vulnerable to dryness and irritation.

Vitamin C-enriched amla in the treatment also helps protect the scalp from future dry-out.

Nou Low Porosity Leave-In Conditioner
Getting the moisture balance right for high- and low-porosity hair can be tricky. But Nou, a new brand for textured hair, meets the hydration needs for both. This Low Porosity Leave-In Conditioner imparts moisture with coconut oil since the ingredient more easily absorbs into tighter woven cuticles. There's also a formula specifically for highly porous hair, which helps seal moisture in with the help of hydrating shea butter.

The end of summer is an ideal time to focus on scalp care, and Nécessaire is making it incredibly easy with The Scalp Duo.

Once you've cleared away the product buildup, dirt, and sweat with the shampoo, work the conditioner through hair from roots to ends.
