Hey guys, hope you are all well. Today I'm going to share some hair products and tools that I have found work best for my hair. I have quite thin natural blonde hair that tends to be dry at the ends and oily at the scalp. Since my hair is so fine I find my hair gets greasy super fast and these products have helped to manage that. I hope you find some of these products helpful!
This shampoo and conditioner were recommended to me by my hairdresser. I was finding that since I am in pool water teaching swimming lessons that my hair had become very brittle and would fall out easily. Since using this combo my hair has become less dry and fragile and it all around looks better. You don't have to use much of either- about a quarter-size for the shampoo, and a pump and a bit for the conditioner. The smell is also a huge bonus- I always feel that whenever there is mint in a product it makes you feel extra clean.
These two products are ones that I definitely do not use on a day-to-day basis. The
conditioner is a very heavy one, you have to use the absolutely smallest amount to avoid weighing your hair down. When your hair dries it just feels so soft and looks so healthy. I use it about once or twice a week.
The
shampoo is a cleansing one so it cuts through all the product build-up in your hair that your regular shampoo may not have been able to get rid of. Since I use dry shampoo and other things in my hair I find that using this twice a week helps to clean my hair completely and make it feel light and grease free for a few days.
This product has been a saving grace for my dry ends, it adds a lot of moisture but is still weightless. I use about a dime sized amount, and I run it through the ends of damp hair. When your hair is dry there is no frizzy-ness and it is easy to manage and style.
Sea salt spray is something I have recently gotten into and it is amazing. It is great if you want some texture to freshly washed hair, or to add some oompf to second day hair. I spray it generally just everywhere (flip your hair upside down to volumize underneath too) and then scrunch my hair to add some volume and work the product in. I have tried a few different brands and I like the
Lush one the best, it doesn't make your hair crunchy, and leave a nice fragrance behind.
Dry shampoo is something I simply cannot live without, it changes your hair from a giant grease-ball to something that can be seen by people in the real world. I like the
Batiste one because it doesn't leave a residue and is easy to brush out. I spray this down my roots, crown, and side of my face, if I want more volume I part my hair down the sides of my head to lift underneath the hair. It does leave a white cast so you have to really work it in, but it is well worth it. If you have brunette hair they do make one that is tinted brown.
This product is perfect for controlling any pesky fly-away hairs. Some pieces of my bangs like to stick straight up so this helps to make me look like less of a cockatoo. I take a tiny amount and work it between my fingers to warm it up and then run it through the hairs that need to be tamed.
This brush has made brushing my hair such a breeze, whether it is wet or dry. It doesn't pull your hair at all, it just glide through smoothly and leaves you tangle free. It is definitely worth buying if your hair tangles easily.
Let me know if you try any of these products, or have any recommendations for me to try!
Hope you all have a great Sunday!
