For my hair routine I stick to the basics. I use shampoo, conditioner, a hair mask, hair treatment, hair protectant, dry shampoo and a cheapo brush. Compared to what my hair routine has been in the past, this is pretty intensive. To be honest, I tried dry shampoo for the first time only about a month ago! Where have I been? I know, I know…
Anyways, I little background on my hair. I’ve never really done much with my hair ever for styling and I only used shampoo and conditioner to take care of it. I have pretty fine hair so that might be a shocker that I only washed my hair for so long without any other treatment. About 3 years ago I shaved my head to support a friend with cancer who has now been cancer free for 2 years! So I had a fresh slate to work with. Since then I kept it natural for about a year and then summer came around and I wanted a change so I went red from a box and then to a more reddish-brown.
October last year I decided to go big and get my hair professionally coloured purple. This is when I finally discovered the importance of hair care. For about a month after going purple I had just used Wella Professional Shampoo and Conditioner for Fine to Normal coloured hair. I soon realized my hair needed more than just a special shampoo and conditioner to avoid the frizzy damage from 2 rounds of bleach and then colour from going purple.
I switched salons because I thought the girl who did my purple hair was too rough on it with all her rings on (my head was sore for sure after that). At this new salon I definitely felt I was looked after better. They trimmed and cleaned up my hair with a cut and then let me soak in a hair mask for the first time in my life. I got a bit more educated on hair care for coloured hair and left the salon with a sample of a hair mask and the Aveda Brilliant Damage Control Spray and Revlon Professional uniqONE All-in-One hair treatment.
I usually spray the Revlon uniqONE treatment in my hands and work it into damp hair. It’s a spray pump but the product is thick and creamy so I wouldn’t advice spraying it directly on your hair. It smells like coconuty deliciousness though! This product claims to:
Give silkiness and smoothness
Protect hair colour with UVA/UVB filters
Ease brushing and ironing
Create a long-lasting hairstyle
After using this product for a good 6 months I can say that the claims hold true! Try it for yourself and see!
The Aveda Damage Control is a light spray that I’ll spray over my hair after I use the Revlon treatment. This Aveda spray also smells so good like camomile! It is supposed to help protect from thermal and UV damage and reduce breakage for all hair types. I say it delivers it’s claims! Love this stuff!
I washed my hair less often and regularly used both these products in my hair when damp. Once I apply both of these products I’ll gently detangle and comb my hair.
Then a haircut later I found a hair mask at the drugstore. I believe it was a Fekkai PrX Reparatives Intense Fortifying Hair Mask. Once that was out I invested in the Moroccan Oil Restorative Hair Mask. I would use this pretty much every time I washed my hair which was about every 2-4 days. I swear hair masks saved my breaking, frizzy mess.
This hair mask is supposed to rebuild hair’s strength and restore elasticity. I absolutely love the way my hair feels after I use this mask! I can definitely notice less breakage and a stronger feel to my hair after using this. I hear really great things about the entire Moroccan Oil brand! Give it a go and invest in this great brand!
I also find that sleeping with damp hair instead of air drying throughout the day prevents frizziness and helps lock in moisture.
Since I only wash my hair about every 2-4 days I finally discovered dry shampoo to help with greasy hair. I heard all good things about the Batiste dry shampoos so I gave it a go and I’m loving with new addition to my hair care.
This dry shampoo is supposed to revitalize hair and remove excessive oil to feel fresh and add body and texture.
Well let me tell you this stuff was a game changer. I could freely wear my hair down on day 3 of no hair washing. No need for ponytails when you use this stuff! Just make sure you really work it in and brush through your hair so you don’t have white hair patches.
So that’s my hair care routine! Let me you if you use any of these products and how you like them or if there’s anything you think I should try! I am running low of most of this products already!
Stay tuned for a throw back to my hairstyles over the past 10 years or so and follow!
