What it is: Understanding that water varies throughout the US (why do you think pizza and bagels reign on the East Coast?) and how it can affect the health and appearance of your hair, New York hairstylist Robert Craig has developed the No More Bad Hair Days Kit, a travel-sized shampoo kit that promises great hair wherever and whenever. The little kit includes three small, ultra-concentrated shampoos for different water types (soft, moderately hard and extremely hard), a spray-on, leave-in conditioner and a dozen water test strips. Hair type is no longer a determinant as each shampoo contains a special blend of botanical ingredients that works for normal to processed hair.

How it works: Take the kit wherever you go and dip a test strip in a sample of water. Wait fifteen seconds and compare the resulting color to the colors of the shampoo bottles to assess water type and the corresponding shampoo. Spray on the leave-in conditioner after showering for a little extra pampering.
