The Hair Care Products you Didn’t Know you Needed

Everyone wants healthy, shiny, shampoo-commercial worthy hair. Coming from someone who had dead ends, dry, brittle hair all through high school, I can honestly say that since I chopped and started investing more time and care into my hair, I’ve seen a real difference. I have fine hair that I wash every 2-3 days, so this is just what works for me. But these products are my new favorites and have been a game-changer!

  1. Biolage ColorLast Shampoo

I have color-treated hair, so this shampoo helps make the color lasts as long as possible. It makes my hair feel nice and light; it doesn’t weigh it down at all, and the smell is amazing! Even if you don’t have color-treated hair, Biolage is a great brand with lots of other products for different hair types.

2. LUSH American Cream Conditioner

LUSH is also a great brand, especially when it comes to ethics and brand values. LUSH is completely against animal testing, uses recycled plastic for its bottles, and is 100% vegetarian and 95% vegan. The American Cream Conditioner smells like strawberries and vanilla, and makes my hair super soft and weightless!

3. Moroccanoil Treatment Light

Put this Moroccan oil treatment on damp hair on wash day- it will make your hair so shiny! Even 118% shinier, according to the Moroccanoil website. A little goes a long way with this, so don’t use too much or your hair might become greasy. The treatment linked is meant for fine or light-colored hair, but they have the same product in a regular formula as well. Worth a try!

4. SRI Infrarose Curler

If you like to curl your hair frequently but don’t like the heat damage associated with it, this is the curler for you. This curler uses infrared technology to help with frizz and heat damage to keep your hair strong and healthy. I curl my hair about 3-4 times per week, but this curling iron is safe for daily use. I’ve had this curler for about a year now and it’s amazing!

5. Dove Smooth and Shine Heat Protectant Spray

This spray is very cheap and keeps your hair smooth and shiny even when it’s curled. It’s one of my favorites because of the amazing price and quality! It also doesn’t make your hair greasy and keeps it nice and light.

These products work great on my hair, and I would recommend trying them! These are all great brands too so if you’re in the market for any new haircare items check them out!
