It may be an exaggeration, but my hair is my treasure. way It’s a lot more money than I’d like to admit to looking vibrant, shiny, and healthy. There is no limit (almost no limit) on how much you can spend on
That’s why I’ve been obsessed with Function of Beauty since its launch in 2015. This brand’s bespoke shampoo and conditioner is still a staple in my showers, even after years of use. My hair is less frizzy, more manageable, and healthier overall, but $50+ on hair care (even custom-made) isn’t an easy feat for everyone. I understand not.
Luckily, Function of Beauty has launched a new line of personalized hair styling products that are a fraction of the price of the original product and are only available at Target. It features one styling product designed for each hair texture (straight, wavy, curly, coily) and can be enhanced with dedicated boosters to address a wide range of hair issues including frizz, brittleness and dullness. To name a few. The base styler is $13, while her 2-pack of boosters is less than $4 a pop. That means you can get custom hair styling products for less than $20.
our team Instyle With so many different hair types and textures, Function of Beauty sent us a line to test for ourselves ahead of launch. Each team her member chose products that matched their texture, infused her two boosters that matched her hair needs, and incorporated the styler into her two-week hair routine. Each editor provided focused feedback on their respective stylers, so below you’ll find detailed reviews of each product based on hair texture.Plus, find our overall thoughts on the line as well. can do.
Features of Beauty Soft Bounce Texturizing Hair Spray

Goal
Straight hair tends to flatten faster than other hair types. That’s why Function of Beauty has formulated a lightweight texturizing spray that won’t weigh down your hair type. Made with coconut sugar and rice protein, it adds volume and leaves your strands feeling soft instead of crunchy. The fast-acting spray only needs to be sprayed onto damp hair. After that, he can blow dry or let his hair dry naturally.
For commerce writer Bianca Kratky (who added the Volumize Booster and Thermal Protection Booster), her favorite thing about the spray was how it held up her hair. Feeling“Since I don’t normally use styling products, I was worried that my hair would feel sticky or clumpy, but it didn’t,” she says. “This product blended into my hair very seamlessly and didn’t leave an unpleasant hairspray feeling.”

That said, Kratky didn’t see a big difference in the volume of her hair while air drying (she thinks it’s because it’s so thick and heavy). Especially regularly for additional thermal protection. “Compared to other customizable hair products on the market, this is a steal,” she says. I like the points.”
How Beauty Zero Gravity Styling Hair Mousse Works

Goal
When you think of hair mousse, you might imagine a thick, thick cream. When it comes to Zero Gravity Styling Mousse, you can erase that preconceived notion because its cloud-like texture is an airy lather, not a thick cream. Infused with aloe juice and apple extract, the multi-purpose formula creates weightless volume, minimizes frizz, softens strands and enhances natural waves.
As someone with fine, waist-length hair, my hair usually seems to get heavier almost instantly, so it’s been difficult to incorporate any kind of mousse into my hair routine, but this Zero Gravity Styler I added Color Protection and Shine Booster to the formula and noticed that my hair color stayed vibrant longer (as someone who has dyed red hair, it’s been very effective for me). It is important). The most striking difference in my hair is its manageability.

Especially in winter, hair tends to get tangled with coats and mufflers, but with this mousse, you don’t need to brush after removing layers. This is a complete game-changer for me because, in addition to keeping my strands smoother, it has also reduced the almost inevitable hair breakage I get each winter.
As for the definition of waves (it’s a wave hair product, after all), I’d say my hair is more beachy when I let mousse run from root to tip and air dry, but when I blow-dry it’s not much of a difference. No drying, so you have to keep that in mind too.
How Beauty Super Shape Curl Hair Cream Works

Goal
People with curly hair know the drill. Styling products are absolutely essential to ensure your ringlets are defined, well-moisturized and frizz-free. If so, Function of Beauty has developed SuperShape Curl Cream especially for you.
Moringa oil and cane sugar work together to tighten and define your natural curl pattern while adding shine, deep conditioning and overall manageability to your ringlets. Apply 2-3 pumps (depending on hair length) to damp strands from root to tip, scrunch upwards and blow with air or a diffuser.
Senior Commerce Editor Chloe Anello tried both routes. She let her hair air-dry while testing this line, diffusion-drying, and recommends the former for best results: “My hair actually looks better when air-dried.” she says. “It was a lot more lifted and defined.” apart from).
“My hair is so fine that it’s hard to find products that nourish my curls without weighing them down too much,” explains Anello. She believes curl creams work better for those with coarser hair textures, but if you’re looking for something personalized for your needs, this product is definitely something to try. Says it’s worth it.

Goal
As mentioned above, most curls have all Products to keep them looking their best and feeling their best — but if your hair happens to be tight and coily, styling gels are a must to keep them smooth, soft and defined. The main ingredient in this light gel is carob seed oil. Not only does this deeply condition, but it also refines and strengthens hair without leaving it feeling flaky or frizzy.
Our commerce writer Rinne Halpern has 3B hair. For years, she’s had a tried-and-true routine down pat, but this gel (she’s infused with curl-defining and deep-conditioning boosters) has redone her beloved go-to product. “I immediately noticed an improvement in the definition of my curls, and my curls felt very light and bouncy,” she says. It’s rarely achieved in combination with frizz-free strands (my biggest pet is crunchy curls, but this was not the case).”
Halpern was initially apprehensive about the gooey texture of the gel, but after applying it, she says, “it penetrates well and gives you crisp, super soft curls.” .
This is a personal preference, but one change she makes is the packaging. She prefers it to come in a pump or squeeze bottle for mess-free application.

What we all weren’t total fans of was the scent.It’s a fruity, mango-forward scent with a slightly synthetic odor and is very strong when first applied. Halpern says. That being said, it wore off quickly and, despite the fruity flavor, it didn’t deter me from finally using the product.
