Let's talk about hair! I know more about hair products than one should for not working in cosmetology. I have tried basically everything and have a stupid collection of products to show for it. As of right now, I love the products I am using so I wanted to share my routine.
Starting with shampoo/conditioner -- I only wash my hair 2-3 times a week. The remainder of the week I am soaking my roots in dry shampoo. I mentioned in my YouTube video, I love Dove Volumizing Dry Shampoo - i'ts my favorite because it smells amazing and doesn't leave build-up. I just spray it on my roots and work it in with my fingers. If I'm feeling frisky, I'll blow-dry my hair flipped upside down and then pin it up with my roots teased a little (Snooki style) to hold the volume. When I do wash my hair, I use the kit below. It's like $20 for the shampoo and conditioner and it's the best. It keeps my hair silky smooth and really cuts back on the frizz and static. I don't recommend the conditioner on your roots if you have fine hair -- i just condition the ponytail length of my hair.
Next - leave-in conditioner. For years my hair wouldn't grow. I am sure it had to do with years of over-processing and bleach, but after I went to college I started using It's a 10 -- it's been years since I used anything else. It's quite possible the best hair product of all time. I never have too many tangles and there are 10 benefits to using it. I have tried knock-offs or off-brands posing to do the same thing,but nothing works like It's a 10.
Given my tangles issue, I use a tangle-free brush. I don't have to worry about my hairbrush getting stuck half way down my hair and I'm not left with a hairbrush full of hair. I love this one!
After I let my hair dry (typically while I am doing my makeup), I use this Kenra Blow Dry spray on my ends and at the nape of my neck. It's where my hair is the heaviest and takes the most amount of time to dry. I'm not sure what is in this spray, but it smells so good and cuts my blow dry time in half. This is amazing if you have a lot of hair and not a lot of time to dry it.
Once my hair is dry, I will either straighten it or curl it. Sometimes I let it go if my hair is cooperating. I love spraying dry finishing spray on my hair to set it. My favorite is this Oribe Dry Texture spray. It's great for giving you hair a little grit so if you tease it, the tease will stay. A great "dupe" is the Rusk Dry Texture Spray I have pictured below. This is great too - smells amazing, and its a more controlled spray so you can put if moreso on the roots and work it in for some volume.
On the in-between days or before I style my hair I will put some Organix Moroccan Oil on the ends. I have tried high-end oil, but I always come back for this. You can pick this up really anywhere and it's less than $10. The bottle lasts FOREVER.
