beauty: my absolute favorite (can’t-live-without) hair products.

Isn’t it funny how as you get older, your value for certain things can completely change? Up until the past year or so, I barely thought twice about the products I used on my hair - it was often a matter of what was on sale at the drug store.

But lately, I’m finding myself becoming a bit of a hair snob. That’s mostly because after over 10 years of blonde-ifying myself, I can tell that my hair needs a bit more TLC than I’ve been giving it.

So here are my top favorite (can’t live without) hair products right now + why I love ’em!

1) Oscar Blandi dry shampoo (powder). I think I may have shared how much I love this dry shampoo before, and it’s still my favorite (and I’ve tried just about all of them). I definitely prefer a dry shampoo POWDER over a spray - for me it absorbs any greasiness way better than the sprays do. I throw in a little sprinkle throughout the day (even if my hair isn’t necessarily dirty) because it adds an extra bump of volume, and it smells great too.

2) Kerastase Resistance Bain Force Architecte shampoo. This is my newest favorite, and I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to start using. It’s not the cheapest shampoo in the world, but it has done WONDERS for repairing my hair, which has been weakened from years and years of highlighting. I’ve heard from a handful of hair professionals that this is the best on the market for reconstructing damaged hair, and I definitely recommend it too.

3) SachaJuan silver conditioner. I’ve shared before how I use Shimmering Lights purple shampoo/conditioner, and I do still recommend those for maintaining a great shade of blonde, but this SachaJuan silver conditioner gives that same tone while being less harsh.

4) Oscar Blandi Dry Texture & Volume Spray. I fall into the “bigger the better” camp when it comes to hair, and since my hair is on the thinner/lighter side I can use all the help I can get. This OB Texture & Volume spray is great for adding some oomph throughout your hair from root to tip. I love adding it *after* I use my curling iron, but before finishing with hair spray. It’s another product that’s great to carry around with you if your hair tends to fall flat throughout the day.

5) Bumble and Bumble Invisible Oil Primer. Every so often I let my hair go au naturale, but - let’s be real - there will never be a day that I don’t use my beloved blow dryer + curling iron. To lessen the blow, I make sure to apply this primer to my hair before using heat tools. It adds protection and also makes my hair smoother and softer.

6) Oscar Blandi Jasmine Oil Serum. Simliar to the previous B&B primer, I apply this to my hair when it’s still wet (typically right after I get out of the shower, followed by combing it through). It’s just for that extra layer of protection + moisturization for my hair, and it adds a great shine.

7) Big Sexy Hair Powder Play. Once again, I’m all about the volume. I’ve mentioned before how much I love this product, and it’s still my favorite volumizing powder out there. It’s on the sticky/tackier side, so I typically only use it when I want a more dramatic bump of volume. All you need is a tiiiiiny bit applied to your roots, and it makes such a huge difference.

Please note I was not compensated for this post - these are all genuinely just my favorites!
