We're excited to share that three Function of Beauty products have been nominated for Marie Claire's 2026 Hair Awards.
Every year, Marie Claire assembles a panel of beauty experts to evaluate some of the most innovative products across the haircare industry. Products are rigorously tested for performance, formulation, user experience, and results before finalists are selected. This year's winners will be announced on MarieClaire.com in September 2026.
We're honored to see three Function of Beauty favorites recognized among this year's nominees.
An incredible panel of expert judges will be putting every nominated product through rigorous testing. They will be slathering, sniffing and sampling every product so that they can curate the list of the most innovative and high-impact products on the market. All winning products will be announced on marieclaire.com in September 2026Function of Beauty Nominees
- Formulated specifically for wavy hair, this conditioner is made with argan oil to nourish hair and boost moisture without weighing it down.
- This TikTok viral mousse helps you achieve instant, long-lasting waves without frizz or stiffness (2x the volume and 24-hour frizz control). Made with aloe vera to boost moisture and apple fruit extract for hair softness, this cloud like foam provides flexible hold and soft texture without the crunch or stickiness.
- A hybrid style treatment that acts as a leave-in treatment and styling cream all in one! It is made with castor seed oil & moringa oil to hydrate and define curls, and sugarcane-derived hemisqualane to reduce frizz, enhance elasticity and prevent hair breakage. It provides 80% curl retention and 24 hour frizz control (when used with full Function of Beauty Curly product regimen). It leaves no crunch, stiffness, or sticky residue, plus UV & thermal protection.
Why This Recognition Matters
At Function of Beauty, we believe hair isn't one-size-fits-all.
Different hair structures behave differently. Wavy hair has different moisture needs than curly hair. Fine hair responds differently to styling products than coarse hair. That's why every formula we create starts with understanding how hair works and what it needs to perform at its best.
We're incredibly proud to see products developed with that philosophy recognized among Marie Claire's 2026 Hair Awards nominees.
We'll be eagerly awaiting the results alongside you when winners are announced this September.
Until then, we're celebrating the hair science, innovation, and personalization that got us here.
