Rihanna didn’t drop a new album, but at least her most loyal fans, the Navy, can celebrate the launch of Fenty Hair. Like with her game-changing Fenty Beauty makeup line and travel-friendly Fenty Skin offshoot, Fenty Hair prioritizes her inclusivity.

“Creating products that were easy to use, no matter your hair type or texture, and that included repair in every step and could keep up with me, was crucial. From my curly people to those who love protective styles, to those with straight or wavy hair or short hair or long hair, there’s something for you,” Rihanna says in a statement.

Fenty Hair is a natural extension for Rihanna since the star is known for embracing bold lewks. She first gave fans a taste of her risk-taking edgy style in 2007 when she switched up her signature long blond tresses for her iconic angular black bob cut by Ursula Stephens during her “Good Girl Gone Bad” era. At the Fenty Hair launch party, the Bajan pop star debuted her blond pixie cut. “Hair has always been very personal to me — my hairstyles have been markers of my evolution and growth over the years — so launching Fenty Hair was something I was really passionate about,” she says.

The fashion, beauty, and music hitmaker is also hands-on with her gorgeous hairstyles, so it’s no surprise she had an active hand in launching Fenty Hair. At the 2018 Grammys, Rihanna dressed like a Spanish flamenco dancer with big, bouncy hair inspired by Diana Ross, Donna Summers, and Bianca Jagger. Her hairstylist, Yusef Williams, told me Bad Gal Riri selected the orchid tucked behind her ear to complement her hot pink Adam Selman dress.

The debut Fenty Hair collection includes eight must-have products for Rihanna — and everything costs $36 or less, so you can afford to gift yourself (or a very lucky loved one) each item without exceeding your gifting budget. Here’s the rundown on all eight Fenty Hair products, including how the key ingredients can help improve your tresses.

All the Fenty Hair products are sulfate-free and color-safe, making them must-haves for those who dye or highlight their tresses and don't strip their hair.

Scalp care is the foundation for healthy hair. Rihanna’s gentle shampoo hydrates and repairs tresses with the collection’s signature Replenicore-5, a blend of amino acids, proteins, and antioxidants that helps repair split ends and minimize breakage. The shampoo helps soften, smooth frizz, and detangle. Plus, it boasts a warm amber meets floral aroma, so your hair can smell as luxe as Rihanna’s tresses.

<p><a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=74968X1596630&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffentybeauty.com%2Fproducts%2Fthe-rich-one-moisture-repair-conditioner%3Fvariant%3D42113726316589&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.biography.com%2Fbio-buys%2Fa60998511%2Frihanna-fenty-hair-launch%2F" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Shop Now;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Shop Now</a></p><p>The Rich One Moisture Repair Conditioner</p><p>fentybeauty.com</p><p>$29.00</p>

Conditioners are non-negotiable; they help replenish hydration in the hair. The Rich One melts on contact, allowing strands to soak up all the reparative, de-frizzing, and conditioning benefits. Like the shampoo, this conditioner contains the Replenicore-5 to help strengthen hair. It’s also infused with green coconut water for lightweight moisture and conditioning without weighing down your hair.

<p><a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=74968X1596630&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffentybeauty.com%2Fproducts%2Fthe-richer-one-moisture-repair-deep-conditioner%3Fvariant%3D42113726447661&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.biography.com%2Fbio-buys%2Fa60998511%2Frihanna-fenty-hair-launch%2F" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Shop Now;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Shop Now</a></p><p>The Richer One Deep Conditioner</p><p>fentybeauty.com</p><p>$29.00</p>

Naturally, Rihanna uses both conditioners but will swap them out depending on how parched her hair is on wash day. Regardless, she credits them with hydrating and leaving her hair smooth and silky-looking. For more intense hydration, look no further than this hair mask: It’s the supercharged version of the previously mentioned conditioner. They both contain Replenicore-5, but this hair mask melts into the hair even quicker and offers noticeably more moisture. It also contains wild mango butter to help further condition and nourish hair.

<p><a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=74968X1596630&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffentybeauty.com%2Fproducts%2Fthe-comeback-kid-instant-damage-treatment%3Fvariant%3D42113726513197&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.biography.com%2Fbio-buys%2Fa60998511%2Frihanna-fenty-hair-launch%2F" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Shop Now;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Shop Now</a></p><p>The Comeback Kid Instant Damage Repair Treatment</p><p>fentybeauty.com</p><p>$110.00</p>

Dealing with fragile, brittle, or delicate color-treated hair? Rih’s got you with this hair treatment. In addition to Replenicore-5, baobab seed and chia seed extracts help strengthen, nourish, and improve hair bonds. The best part? It’s a fast treatment, requiring only a 3-5 minute commitment. If you’d use it as a leave-in conditioner, that’s totally cool: Just be sure to apply it to freshly shampooed hair for the best results.

<p><a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=74968X1596630&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffentybeauty.com%2Fproducts%2Fthe-protective-type-5-in-1-heat-protectant%3Fvariant%3D42113726709805&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.biography.com%2Fbio-buys%2Fa60998511%2Frihanna-fenty-hair-launch%2F" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Shop Now;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Shop Now</a></p><p>The Protective Type 5-In-1 Heat Protectant Styler</p><p>fentybeauty.com</p><p>$110.00</p>

Heat protectants are essential for creating an invisible layer between your hair and hot tools like rotating curling irons and hair dryers. Rihanna’s heat protectant is a must-have for achieving the smoothest, frizz-free silk press, but it works equally well when you diffuse your curls and coils. It also relies on lightweight moisturizing moringa and cranberry oils to help detangle knots, smooth hair follicles, and impart a glossy finish. Most importantly, it provides up to 450-degree Fahrenheit protection to preserve your hair’s integrity.

<p><a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=74968X1596630&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffentybeauty.com%2Fproducts%2Fthe-homecurl-curl-defining-cream%3Fvariant%3D42113726873645&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.biography.com%2Fbio-buys%2Fa60998511%2Frihanna-fenty-hair-launch%2F" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Shop Now;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Shop Now</a></p><p>The Homecurl Curl-Defining Cream</p><p>fentybeauty.com</p><p>$110.00</p>

This will be your holy grail product on days you want to enhance your curls. Unlike others on the market, Homecurl helps repair split ends while giving you touchable, crunch-free curls. It’s also that girl to help fight frizz as well as hydrate and soften hair. You’ll get the best results if you apply this to damp hair, so be sure to keep your spray bottle with water close by before styling.

<p><a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=74968X1596630&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffentybeauty.com%2Fproducts%2Fthe-gelly-type-strong-hold-gel%3Fvariant%3D42113727004717&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.biography.com%2Fbio-buys%2Fa60998511%2Frihanna-fenty-hair-launch%2F" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Shop Now;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Shop Now</a></p><p>The Gelly Type Strong Hold Hair Gel</p><p>fentybeauty.com</p><p>$110.00</p>

Hair gels get a bad rap for leaving a flakey, crunchy film on hair, but Fenty Hair promises that’s not the case with their repairing formulation. You’ll experience an all-day hold and natural shine, and frizz will be a thing of the past. Know someone who likes wearing slicked-backed buns or high ponytails like Ariana Grande? This hair gel is also non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog your pores or cause scalp acne.

<p><a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=74968X1596630&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffentybeauty.com%2Fproducts%2Fthe-controlling-type-hair-thickening-edge-control%3Fvariant%3D42113727135789&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.biography.com%2Fbio-buys%2Fa60998511%2Frihanna-fenty-hair-launch%2F" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Shop Now;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Shop Now</a></p><p>The Controlling Type Hair-Thickening Edge Control Gel</p><p>fentybeauty.com</p><p>$18.00</p>

Edge controls offer many aesthetic benefits, but if you apply them incorrectly, they can damage your hair. However, Rihanna said not on my watch with her edge control product! It slicks down and smooths your baby hair and helps strengthen and thicken them, too. It provides long-lasting hold and knicks flyaways, while a blend of larchwood and red clover flower extracts fortifies your hair.

<p><a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=74968X1596630&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffentybeauty.com%2Fproducts%2Fthe-side-stick-hair-thickening-edge-tool%3Fvariant%3D42113727332397&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.biography.com%2Fbio-buys%2Fa60998511%2Frihanna-fenty-hair-launch%2F" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Shop Now;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Shop Now</a></p><p>The Sidestick 3-in-1 Edge Styling Tool</p><p>fentybeauty.com</p><p>$18.00</p>

Rounding out the collection is a styling brush that pairs perfectly with your edge control. The slim hairstyling tool features a pointed tip so you can achieve the perfect center part with ease, while the opposite end features a comb and brush with vegan bristles to smooth hairs and create gorgeous swoops. It also boasts an ergonomic design so it's comfortable to style your hair.

What’s Next for Rihanna

As for what's next, Rih is also known for her incredible manicures, so one can hope Fenty Nails will eventually be on the horizon. In the meantime, you can order all eight Fenty Hair products, restock your Fenty Skin must-haves, and experiment with some Fenty Beauty newness, including the new tinted moisturizer.
