I’m not going to lie—my hair’s a bit of a challenge. It’s curly and unruly, plus, I have these really long hair extensions. So, it definitely needs some extra care. I’ve spent years trying to figure out how to manage it. From learning the right way to blow dry (which, by the way, I can’t stand) to protecting it from the heat of a flat iron—I’m all about having straight hair. I’ve also delved into the mysteries of purple shampoo. The big realization? It’s all about the products. I had no idea that neglecting the right products was causing most of my hair troubles. But now, I’m thrilled to say I’ve nailed down a little hair care routine that’s super effective and cuts my styling time in half.
Let me share my top hair products with you. And if there are any must-tries I should be aware of, let me know!
**Top 5 Hair Products I’m Loving Right Now**
1. **Drybar On The Rocks Shampoo & Conditioner**
I am super picky about my shampoo and conditioner. My hair has to feel incredibly clean, and most products just don’t do it for me—they leave it feeling gritty and heavy. But Drybar’s On the Rocks line is perfect, making my hair fresh and clean. It’s packed with activated charcoal that draws out impurities, while the conditioner, with macadamia oil and coriander, keeps it light yet smooth.
2. **Tony Moly Haeyo Mayo Nutrition Pack**
Every third wash, I treat my hair to a deep conditioning. You know that silky-smooth feeling that’s so amazing? This is my go-to for that! Even though DIY mayo masks work, they’re pretty gross. This product keeps all the benefits of the egg yolks without the nasty smell. It’s full of moisture thanks to macadamia nut oil and shea butter.
3. **R+Co High Dive Moisture & Shine Cream**
My hair stylist Marchelle recommended this gem, and I love it. My curly hair tends to rebel against staying straight, but this cream is a game-changer. It smoothes the hair shaft, making it straighter and longer-lasting. I just rub a nickel-sized amount into my towel-dried hair before styling, and it keeps everything sleek and neat.
4. **R+Co Grid Structural Hold Setting Spray**
This is the secret to keeping my straight hair in line. It adds a bit of texture to help my curls stay under control. It’s like hairspray for straight hair, but without the crunchy feel. After applying the shine cream, I spray this on my damp hair, and then I blow-dry.
5. **Drybar Sparkling Soda Shine Mist**
My final touch is a shine mist. Drybar knows branding, and Sparkling Soda is a fantastic name for an equally fantastic product. After I’m done styling, I give my hair a light spritz for a little extra shine and a delicious scent, without making it greasy.
**Extras:** A wet brush is essential, the Bio Ionic blow dryer can dry your hair in just eight minutes, and the Bio Ionic vibrating flat iron infuses hydration while straightening beautifully!
