Cold weather is here and unfortunately that means your hair is becoming dull, dry and lifeless. No need to worry. As a licensed cosmetologist, I’ll walk you through my step-by-step moisturizing hair care routine to revive dead hair, even in the midst of the dry fall season.
Joico HydraSplash Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner
A hallmark of your hair care routine is a good shampoo and conditioner. As someone who suffers from Sahara-dry hair, I’ve tried every moisturizing shampoo available in search of the shampoo that will finally breathe some life into my stuck-up hair. After trying the Joico HydraSplash Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner, my search is finally over. These products are specially formulated for fine hair as they are lightweight and moisturize your hair without weighing it down. For those with thick hair, we recommend the Joico Moisture Recovery line, which has similar effects.
Elizabecca Cer-100 Protein Treatment
Protein is not only necessary for a healthy diet. It’s also important for healthy hair. Elizavecca Cer-100 Collagen Ceramide Coated Protein Treatment is my biggest secret for those “on a budget” because it’s inexpensive yet effective. You can let this mask soak in for a few minutes after shampooing and conditioner. Protein treatments act as deep conditioning masks that work on a molecular level to strengthen and condition your hair. Immediately after rinsing it off, you can feel the smoothness of your hair.
Pureology Color Fanatic Leave-in Spray
Hair care doesn’t end with a shower. Using the right products can make a big difference in how your hair dries. As a next step, we recommend spraying your hair with this leave-in conditioner from Pureology. This not only adds a light layer of conditioner to your tresses, but also penetrates into the hair follicles to prevent damage when you comb your hair. If your hair is prone to frizz, this spray is perfect for you as it provides 21 benefits and easily detangles your hair.
paul mitchell super skinny serum
Next up is my absolute holy grail product. Paul Mitchell’s Super Skinny Serum is curly hair’s best friend. This lightweight oil smoothes your tresses while also acting as a heat protectant. Whether you want to achieve the perfect blow-dry or just want to trim your mane while it air-dries, this product is your key.
redken invisible dry shampoo
Now, Redken products are my favorite hair care brand, so I’d be remiss if I went through this routine without recommending this product. Many people think of dry shampoo as something to use as a last resort when you want to last another day without washing your oily hair. Let me tell you a little secret. Most effective on clean hair.
Once your hair is clean and dry, use this dry shampoo to add volume and reduce oil on your scalp to make the most of your wash day.
Try this routine to keep your hair hydrated and vibrant. Each of these products has a huge impact on the condition of my hair, but when used together they work in perfect harmony. Products aren’t always one-size-fits-all, but everyone deserves to have good hair, so we hope these products can help make your hair beautiful.
