Trader Joe’s cosmetics section is filled with all kinds of dupes for your favorite beauty products and the new Trader Joe’s Hair Oil is no exception.
Said to be a dupe for the Olaplex Bonding Oil No. 7., Trader Joe's Hair Oil is a salon-quality hair oil sold for just $5.99 a pop. This highly beneficial haircare product is packed with ingredients like argan oil, moringa seed oil, chia seed oil, and vitamin E, all of which help to fight frizz and tame pesky flyaways. The oil also helps to protect hair from heat – up to 450°F to be exact – so it's especially handy for those who use a hair straightener and curling iron. Best of all, Trader Joe's Hair Oil boasts a pleasant vanilla scent.
