Products For Everyone
Products For Everyone
One of the most frequently asked questions I get is ‘What products should I use on my hair?’
With an endless range of options and retailers I can totally understand how this could be overwhelming!
I’m here to help! Here are the 5 items everyone needs to have in their daily hair arsenal
Quality shampoo and conditioner. I have listed this first because it is the MOST important. I strongly recommend a quality duo because it’s like a little insurance policy for your hair. I love using Amika Normcore. It is free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, gluten, silicone, mineral oil, petrolatum and artificial colors and it’s color safe. I like this one as my go to because it’s cleansing and moisturizing with out stripping or weighing down.
Mousse. I can NOT say this enough…everyone needs mousse. It provides a flexible hold and can be used on curly or straight hair. Long, short, course, fine mousse works on all hair types. I use Amika plus size perfect body mousse on my guests and myself because it also protects against humidity which means managing frizz and preserving your style longer. Yay for combating PA humidity!
Dry shampoo. This is the wonder product you’ve been looking for your whole life. Add texture, volume and refresh your hair on those busy days when you just want one more day before you wash again. I love Amika because of the smell and that there isn’t any white residue like so many other products. There are a many dry shampoo options but I can tell you this one doesn’t stay in stock on my shelves for long. I’m doing a whole blog post on dry shampoo so stay tuned for that one coming soon.
The Wet Brush is the brush that does it all. It’s safe to use on wet hair to detangle which makes it excellent for your kiddos too. You can also use it to distribute your styling products easily through your hair (after you apply with your hands) and you can use it to brush your dry shampoo into your locks as well. I also use my Wet Brush when I want to softly brush out waves or curls for those beachy lived in looks we are all obsessed with right now.
A good blow dryer. I only use BaBylissPro Ceramix Xtreme. This is the best deal as far as dryers go. It’s priced right, dries hair fast and has 3 heat settings. I use it every day in the salon and I promise you can’t go wrong! ***REMEMBER to check all your hot tools as old, faulty ones can have disastrous effects on the health of your hair, trust me, I have seen it too often. You want to replace your blow dryer at least every 2 years if you’re using it daily. Heating elements can begin to fail and cause irreparable damage because they’re too hot.
I hope you have found these recommendations helpful. As you probably guessed I LOVE my Amika products. They are available here at my salon suite for purchase. I’m always available to answer questions about your hair.
