The woman&home Hair Awards are back for 2026, and this year, we welcomed another incredible lineup of judges to help us test hundreds of products.
We rely on a panel of trusted, talented industry experts to help us narrow down our winners. We really put these products through their paces, testing everything from the best shampoo for fine hair, to the best hair straighteners and best hot brushes – all with the goal of bringing you the most effective haircare for every hair type and budget. Plus, all the best products to repair damaged hair.
After weeks of rigorous testing and debating, we finally named 60 products as our woman&home Hair Award winners. We couldn't have done it without the generous help of our 19 industry expert judges, so we thought you might like to get to know them a little better.
