There are so many great hair products on the market these days! From shampoos, hair masks to tools, the options are endless! But, as important as it is to have your hair look good on the outside, it’s just at important that you nourish it from the inside out! One tip I would have would be to not use a ton of hair products every day. I have very thick, heavy hair and for me it just weighs it down even more. Plus, the less products I use, I have found I can go even longer between washes- so that’s a plus!!! Here are a few of my favorites that I use daily!

L’Oreal Paris Elvive Total Repair 5 Repairing Hair Care Collection– While I am sure my hairdresser would prefer I use shampoo and conditioner from the salon, these are my go-tos! I’ve used several L’Oreal hair products over the years and this line is my favorite. I color my hair and put heat on my hair all the time and I feel this really keeps it healthy from all I put it through. Best part, it’s at your local drug store or grocery store and very affordable!

SheaMoisture 100% Virgin Coconut Oil Leave In Treatment– I LOVE this product AND my hairdresser approves so it’s a win/win! It’s all natural ingredients and smells fantastic! It also works as a protectant so I use it while my hair is wet right before I style it to protect it from the heat. It keeps my hair super soft for days and never feels weighed down.

CHI 44 Iron Guard Thermal Protection Spray – While the SheaMoisture leave in treatment serves as a protectant, I still will lightly spray my dry hair with this thermal protectant before using any other heat products. You don’t have to use a lot, but it’s certainly a step you don’t want to miss! A less expensive option is Garnier Fructis Style Sleek & Shine Flat Iron Perfector Flexible Hold Straightening Mist. It can protect your hair up to 450* of heat and is about half the price!

Garnier Fructis Style Flexible Control Hairspray– Garnier has some really great products out there! I’ve been using this hair spray for YEARS and have been extremely happy with it. I started buying it for my daughter for when she needed hair spray for a dance competition and I liked it so much I started buying it for myself. I don’t like to use a ton and this gives just enough to finish your look!

Revlon Salon One-Step Hair Diio

Revlon Salon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer- I am sure you have heard about this tool by now and it’s worth the hype! I love how easy this is to use and it smooths out my hair. I would definitely recommend that your hair by 75% dry before using it. For me, I have very thick hair and it can take some time to dry and this method works best for me.

Chi Original Ceramic Flat Iron- Most everyone either has a Chi or has used one. I’ve used other flat irons in the past and I always go back to this one. It heats up quickly and is has an automatic shut off. I’ve even learned how to curl my hair with it to give it a beachy wave! Another great flat iron is from L’ange. I purchased a flat iron last year for my daughter from and she really likes it!
