Don’t you just love a good hair day? Achieving lovely locks is easy when you have the right products on hand. Read on for a round-up of our “must have” hair care products for the well-stocked bathroom:—
Shampoos and Conditioners
Living Proof No Frizz Shampoo and Conditioner, $24 each, literally knocks the frizz out of overworked tresses. Whether hair is curly, straight or somewhere in between, these genius products block humidity so hair stays smooth and frizz-free all day long. (The sulfate-free formulas are gentle enough for color-treated hair, too.) When lifeless hair needs a little lift, wash with Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo, $5.99. The clarifying shampoo removes up to 95% of dulling residue for bouncy, squeaky-clean locks. Use once a week in place of regular shampoo for an extra deep clean. For dry ends that need a boost of moisture, Phyto 9 Cream, $26, is the ultimate leave-in treatment. The lightweight cream is infused with plant extracts and macadamia oil to nourish hair without leaving it greasy or heavy looking. Apply daily to damp ends before styling for healthier looking hair.
Styling Products
Kerastase Resistance Volumactive Conditioning Mousse, $37, is adored by stylists for good reason: it provides flexible control with zero crunch and leaves hair full of volume, even at the roots. Conditioning ingredients help protect hair from styling damage, too. For tousled, sexy-looking locks, reach for Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray, $23. The salt-water based formula adds texture to hair for a casual, wind-blown look. (Simply spritz on dry hair and scrunch in sections to perfect the look.) When celebrating hair’s natural curl, look no further than Ouidad Curl Quencher Moisturizing Gel, $22. Part gel, part moisturizer, the formula locks in curls while eliminating frizz. Finish off any look with a misting of Pantene Lasting Volume Hairspray, $4.99. Flexible polymers provide soft hold that lasts — without sacrificing volume or shine.
Color Care
Color correct roots in between salon visits with Clairol Nice ‘N Easy Root Touch Up $6.99. The kit provides permanent, natural-looking color that blends with any shade – including salon color. Boost hair’s shine with an application of John Frieda Clear Shine Luminous Glaze, $8.99. Suitable for natural, color-treated or highlighted locks, this clear, color-free glaze provides strands with an extra dose of shine and vibrancy. Apply the gel-cream formula to dry hair and let it sit for 20 minutes before rinsing off in the shower.
