Hair Care

Hi all, I’ve had a lot of questions about the hair products I use, so in lieu of a tutorial today, I thought I would share them with you all. Many of these products can be purchased at a local drug store and although I know there are more luxurious products out there, these work great for me and fit my budget.

1. Suave dry shampoo. I typically only wash my hair 1-2 times a week, so this dry shampoo works wonders. I’ve tried more expensive brands and while I like them, I like the $2.89 price tag of this brand just as much.

2. Redken Heavy Cream. Since I have long hair and since I use heated tools to style it most days, it’s important to get moisture back in it. It also helps split ends in between salon appointments. Although $15-16 seems like a lot for conditioner, this bottle has lasted me quite sometime.

3. Kenra Clarifying Shampoo.  We have hard water in our apartment, so  this clarifying shampoo helps remove the dulling deposits and keeps my color bright. Typically, I use this once a week ($22.00).

4. L’Oreal Colorist Collection. Again, I typical use this once a week mixed with a little bit of other shampoo since it doesn’t really suds. It helps keep the blonde highlights blonde as opposed to turning golden ($33.00).

5. Redken Hair Cleansing Cream. Once a week to keep the moisture in (just as #4) ($11.00).

6. A comb. I don’t even own a brush anymore. Since I shed more than my own dog, I tend to lose less hair when using a comb. Plus, its better for getting tangles out.

7. Organix Moroccan Oil Spray. I use this after I get out of the shower and just spritz some into my wet hair before blow drying.

While there are a few others I use sporadically, these are my go to items that I consistently go to.

What are your go to hair products?

    I'm always so interested in hair that can be saved with dry shampoo! I feel like I have to be using it wrong or something because I can't go a day without washing my hair!

    There must be something wrong with my hair because I can barely go every other day without washing my hair. No matter how much dry shampoo I use, it still looks & feels super oily. =(

    I laughed when I read number 6. I shed more than my dog too! (Also switched to a wide tooth comb, best decision ever.)

    I use KENRA shampoo and conditioner for colored hair and really like it. It is more expensive than the drug store brands but a little goes a long way. I have to pick up a wide toothed comb like yours, as I shed like crazy too!
