HAIR HELP!

by | Aug 3, 2016 | Uncategorized

I depend on so many hair products since I’ve put my hair through practically everything possible. Through trial and error and cos school I’ve learned what products work best for me. Hopefully this post will help you when you’re deciding whats best for you! 
First, my best piece of advice for anyone that is trying to grow their hair out: wear it natural. My hair was at it’s longest when I stopped styling it so much. 
Now lets get down to business.. I’ll be listing all the products I currently use at any given time. Keep in mind I’m a hoarder and these are NOT all necessary to have.. I’ve acquired so much through school, hair shows and a bad shopping addiction. 

shampoos
  • First pictured is the It’s A 10 Miracle Repair Shampoo, I’ve just started using this the past couple months and love it! Shampoo lasts me so long so long because I usually only wash my scalp. This shampoo is at the top of my list right now because it leaves my hair feeling SO clean even after like 5 days of product buildup. 
  • Next, I have the Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Mirrorsmooth Shampoo.
I used the normal Awapuhi shampoo for awhile before the Mirrorsmooth came out and I felt like my hair was just getting too used to it. I always keep this around for whenever I want to use something different. 

  • Third is my all time favorite, the AG Sterling Silver Shampoo. I LOVE this and use it every time I wash my hair. It has kept my blonde so bright which is extremely hard with my well water. The first toning shampoo I tried was the PM Forever Blonde and looking back at photos.. my hair was so brassy while using it. The AG also has more of a shampoo feeling, it lathers easier and leaves my hair feeling normal while the PM left my hair feeling a little weird and sticky. 
  • AG wins again with my fourth shampoo, their Cleansing Cream is so awesome for anyone that hates washing their hair (me) It’s like you are washing you hair with a conditioner… It smells so good and cleanses even better. I use this every 2-5 days between my normal shampoo which I use about every other week. 
  • Anyone that knows me knows I don’t wash my hair like at all.. my hair is so dry that it absorbs all the natural oils and just leaves it looking normal. But for the days when the products buildup is too much I use the PM Shampoo Three. Shampoo Three is made to remove chlorine, iron and minerals which I think is why I like it more than the Shampoo Two even though I’m not usually in chlorine often. 

conditioners 
  • Since my hair is dry and coarse, my favorite conditioners that I use on the daily are all masks. First being the It’s a 10 Miracle Hair Mask, I use this all over as a normal conditioner and don’t rinse it out. It doesn’t leave my hair feeling greasy or weighed down and it has helped so much since I’ve went blonde. 
  • Next I have the It’s a 10 Five Min.
Hair Repair for blondes. I use this before my normal conditioner and leave it on anywhere from 3-5 minutes after my toning shampoo. 

  • Last is the AG Moisture Mask, this is heavier than anything else I use so I only use it about once a month or when I feel I need it. Sometimes I’ll throw in the Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector with it and leave it on for 25-30 minutes before rinsing and shampooing out. 

Some more shampoo & conditioner duos I love to use on others include: 

  • Kenra Revive Shampoo & Conditioner 
  • Kenra Thickening Shampoo & Conditioner
  • PM Marula Oil 

after wash products 
  • Redken Anti-Snap.. This has saved me from so much breakage I could have had from going blonde, I use it every time my hair is damp. 
  • Without It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product my hair would be an absolute rats nest. I try to avoid raking through my hair as much as possible so when I do I always use this. 
  • Next, I have the Kenra Revive Oil. I carry this with me everywhere and use it constantly because my hair soaks it up, this is a must for any damaged hair.. It also smells like mens cologne which is a weird but awesome plus. 
  • Last is the Agadir Argan Oil Spray Treatment, I use this on my hair wet or dry whenever. This does’t weigh my hair down and smoothes out my frizz when I wear my hair natural. It also adds shine and also works as a heat protectant.  

Ultimately, all these products together have some how prevented my hair from falling out after everything I’ve done to it and now they’re slowly nursing it back to health so I can grow it out again.
