I love me some hair products! Any of my girlfriends can tell you that that's true. I've used so many different brands for shampoo & conditioner and I still have yet to find "the one" -- you know, the one item that you can't live without and come back to after trying something else. I have read all of Kate's post over at thesmallthingsblog and I've watched all of her youtube videos which have all helped my choosing of products! She really is the queen of hair.

Redken is one of my all time favorites for shampooing and conditioning. I'm currently using the color extend line and I'm really loving it! I enjoy the smell and how my hair feels after washing it. I recently colored my hair back to dark brown (praise hands going up!) and this line is perfect for the change.
These can be kind of pricey, but Ulta and Beauty Brands do a buy 2 get 1 free sale pretty often. Both stores also have them in jumbo sizes on sale for around $15. Both stores also offer coupons. :)
About once a week I use this AH-mazing (& $6!) hair cream after shampooing (in replace of conditioner). It's made to repair damaged hair after just one use, so I use it about every week to keep my hair healthy and refreshed. I've paid close to thirty dollars for a hair mask before, so finding this one for just six dollars makes me incredibly happy! Because I use heat on my hair every time after I wash it, I find it necessary to apply a mask pretty often. I find that it really helps to keep the hair healthy!
After washing my hair, I let it towel dry for about 10-15 minutes before applying product and blow drying it. I comb my hair with a comb instead of a brush to help from breaking my hair.
My hair can tend to get frizzy, so I've been eyeing certain products to help control that and I found the chi straight guard did the trick! It really keeps it smooth!
This hairspray is my go-to. I've used it since middle school and I still love the smell every time I spray it. It's such a classic!
