Our hair is the crown that we wear every day. It can help to showcase our personality style and can be influenced by our cultures and beliefs. We must care for it and use products that help to enhance its natural beauty. As a practicing cosmetologist, I have tried many, MANY products and I am here to tell you which products I have found that are tried and true and work wonders for all clients.
Looking for voluminous, fuller hair? This product is absolute magic and gives your hair volume for (literally) days! When sprayed at the root, Davines Naturaltech ™ Replumping Hair Filler Superactive uses hyaluronic acid to add volume to the hair, creating lift and movement for all hair types. When sprayed throughout the hair strand, this product fills the cuticle helping to add thickness to the hair shaft, creating fuller individual strands of hair. This allows for the entire head of hair to feel thicker and look fuller while adding gorgeous shine and luster as well.
Amika is a wonderful hair care line. They use natural products to formulate their hair care line and create sustainable products. Amika Soulfood Nourishing conditioner adds protein and moisture into the hair to create smooth, silky locks. This condition can be used as a daily condition as it is light enough that the hair will not be weighed down. It can also be used as a deep conditioner to add moisture and nutrients. Just apply to the hair, wait 10 minutes, and rinse. Your hair will feel soft and healthy and will benefit greatly from the nutrients provided by this product. If you are looking to get a salon-quality deep conditioner, this is the product for you. It is also meant to be used on any hair texture as every texture can benefit from extra moisture.
Every head of hair could benefit from a good oil treatment. Oftentimes, oil treatments are a service that is performed in a salon but with more and more clients wanting to achieve salon-quality hair at home, brands are working to make that easy. MorrocanOil is a haircare line centered around moisture for all hair types. Their line is formulated with argan oil from the argan fruit tree. The brand has created its MorrocanOil Oil treatment to replace salon performed oil treatments. This product can be used as a daily moisturizer for the hair, helping to reduce frizz and protect against split ends, or as hot oil, treatment to add maximum moisture into the hair, and coat the hair follicle with protective oil.
If you are looking for a good dry shampoo that does not leave a heavy residue on the hair and adds volume, Living Proof Perfect Hair Days Dry Shampoo is the one for you. It adds volume at the root creating ample movement throughout the head and does not leave a sticky residue that many dry shampoos produce. It only has to be applied once and you’ll feel fresh and clean all day!
Curls require maintenance and products that can help to define and reduce frizz however it is difficult to find a product that does not stiffen the curl and make them hard to the touch. Kenra Curl Defining Creme #5 helps to separate and define curls without leaving them crunchy or hard. It works to reduce frizz and add moisture into the hair with a humidity-resistant formula. This formula helps to control shine with a soft, touchable finish.
We all know that blondes tend to go brassy, and for many, the brassiness can set in quickly. This can help with both natural blondes and blondes produced in a salon. It is always good to have a shampoo that helps to reduce the amount of time spent in a salon. AG Sterling Silver Shampoo has a purple tone helping to reduce or tone out the brassiness or yellow tones that can develop in blondes and helps to maintain the color in between salon visits. Use it one time and any blonde will notice a drastic difference to their color.
As a licensed cosmetologist, I swear by It’s a 10. It is an incredible hair care line that reaps with benefits. My favorite product of all time is It’s A 10 Miracle Leave-In Spray. The product instantly repairs dry, damaged hair, adds shine, controls frizz, seals and protects hair color, and prevents split ends. It helps to stop hair from breaking and creates silkiness and shine. It’s A 10 Miracle Leave-In Spray helps to enhance the hair’s natural body and doubles as a thermal protectant. It can also be used as a detangler, just shampoo, condition, rinse, and spray! If you have just one hair product in your bathroom, make sure it’s this one. It really is 10 products wrapped into one bottle.
The perfect party favor! This cream helps to give you smooth, shiny, healthy-looking hair and it smells great! Tigi’s After Party controls fly-aways and helps to reduce frizz. After Party helps to smooth the hair cuticle and add immense shine to the hair. It also has a very strong fragrance and when used can reduce smells that have collected in your hair. If you’ve spent the night on the town and don’t have time to wash your hair, spread some After Party throughout your locks, it will eliminate any smell from the night before!
