My Hair Care Routine

Todays post will be my hair care routine including cleansing/conditioning, treatments, and styling products. I'll start with shampoos. The one I use every time I wash my hair is Redken All Soft, which is my favorite shampoo because the ends of my hair are dry since I have naturally blonde hair and have to dye it a lot. This leaves my hair super soft and shiny and never weighs it down. Along with that right now I also use the Dove nourishing oil care shampoo because I'm trying to use it up. It is actually a really good drugstore dupe for the Redken shampoo. 

The conditioners I use once a week are the L'oreal excellence cream conditioners that comes with that brand of hair dye. I just save up all the little ones from boxed dyes because they work really well on dry ends or as a kind of moisturizing mask. Every time I wash my hair I use the Herbal essences honey I'm strong conditioner which is just a great hydrating conditioner that smells really good. While I have the conditioner in my hair I layer on the Garnier Sleek & Shine argan oil treatment and let those sit for 5 minutes. I just recently started doing this, and my hair has never looked better.

Last is the Redken all soft heavy cream, which I use once a week. You put it on after you've washed your hair and it is still damp, leave it on for 5 minutes (or longer if you want) and then rinse off. It leaves your hair super soft and kind of seals split ends.

Styling/Treatment products

Garnier sleek & shine anti humidity hairspray-This is one of the best hairsprays I have used because it doesn't leave your hair crunchy, works very well on rainy or humid days, and doesn't smell bad. I rely on this when it rains and I don't even have to worry that my hair will get frizzy.

John Frieda luxurious volume dry shampoo (volume refresher)-This actually has been used more than my Suave dry shampoo mentioned below, but they are both great for different reasons. This one is the kind that leaves a grey tint though. I spray this on my roots, leave it on for about 5 minutes, depending on how oily my hair is, and then ruffle my hair with my fingers and then brush it out. 

Suave dry shampoo-This was one of the first I tried because I hated the Tresemme one (it smelled so bad it made me cough). This is good for quick touch ups, as it doesn't leave a grey tint and absorbs quickly. It does smell kind of strong, but it's not necessarily a bad smell, unless you are sensitive to smell.

Tresemme 24 hour body mousse-The only mousse I have ever liked. I usually find that mousse makes my hair crunchy, or just never really does what its supposed to. This one makes your hair super big (this is the kind of stuff you can get huge Texas hair with) and doesn't make hair crunchy. 

Redken smooth lock heat glide (heat protectant)-I just recently picked this up when my hair dresser used it on me. I usually don't like heat protectant sprays, I guess because I've never found a good one. I like this idea more than a spray because it adds shine to your hair and softens it all while protecting it. 

John Frieda straight answer straightening spray-I have naturally wavy hair, so I have to use a spray like this when I blow dry my hair. You just spray it throughout your hair, comb it through, and blow dry. My hair actually stays straight for two days when I blow dry with this stuff. It also stands up to humidity and rain well. Even if you have straight hair, this is still a great product just to make your hair smooth when you blow dry.

Garnier triple nutrition nutrient spray-This is actually the first hair product that I have used the whole bottle of, that's how much I love it. I used the it's a 10 spray before but it was super expensive ($16 for a tiny bottle that ran out fast). So I tried the drugstore counterpart, and it's even better! I use this when my hair is damp and I just spray it on the ends and ruffle my fingers through to distribute it; or I use it on the ends of my hair when I put it up in a bun at bedtime, so I wake up with nice smooth waves.

Well that was a huge post, but those are my favorite hair products. Let me know what your's are in the comment section :)
