Some of my favorite hair products

  
PAUL MITCHELL SHAMPOO THREE

I've been using this product about once a  month since I began using styling products in 6th or 7th grade.  It rids your hair from chlorine, mineral buildup, product buildup, and probably every o

ther possible thing that could have gotten built up 

in your hair.  I know that there are about a gajilliontrillion other products and companies that claim to do the same thing, but I've tried most of them, and Paul Mitchell Shampoo 3 is definitely the best.  This product is especially useful right before deep conditioning treatments, as your hair is most 

receptive to conditioning and other treatments when it is at it's cleanest.  You can buy this shampoo in most drugstores and supermarkets.  Check out the rest of the Paul Mitchell Line HERE.  Most of them are pretty good.

Suave Professionals Humectant Conditioner, (claims to condition as well as NEXXUS HUMECTANT.)

This $2 conditioner is actually one of the best ones out there.(yes, brand snobs, BELIEVE IT.)   And honestly, I prefer it to Nexxus!  It smells wonderful, and does a superb job of conditioning and getting rid of knots! (I have lots of curly hair, so trust me, I know ALL about KNOTS)  

KERASTASE 

pretty much everything by Keratase is fantastic.  Their products are on the more expensive side of things, but sometimes you do get what you pay for.  

I highly recom

mend any of their conditioners and masques.  Choose according to your hair type.

If your salon carries Kerastase, GET A TREATMENT.  I got the one for color treated one last week and my hair feels so healthy.  

Here comes my staple Kerastase styling product, which I recommend for anyone EXCEPT those with greasy hair.  When your hair is dry, use a dollop of Serum Nutri-Sculpt to smooth the cuticles and make your mane shiny and vibrant.  I use

 this as a finishing touch every time I straighten my hair to hold the style and keep the frizzies at bay.
