My Fave Hair Products

​Hope you all have had a really good week, let's end it on a good note with my favorite hair products. As you know, with body care I don't branch out much. Same goes for hair, I like what I like and I don't like changing things up that often. Mainly because I feel like these products do a fairly good job at keeping my hair healthy and manageable. Everyone is different though so you may need something different entirely. 

My hair is very long, it's color treated with blue ends which they had to lighten in order to get them to be a vibrant blue. It used to be quite thick and wavy growing up, but as I've gotten older it's thinning and flat, especially if it's straight. I don't get it color treated very often because it takes a while since it's so long. I honestly, go to the salon maybe once every 3 months but sometimes it's just twice a year. I got when I need a big change basically. So before you ask, yes I cut my own hair and do my own touch ups at home. I'm crafty like that.

Getting into the products that are my faves:
​

• Indie #cleansweep shampoo. This is SLS free but it still foams and my hair is so clean afterwards. It's lovely. I have it in a 1 L bottle, I'm almost out. I will repurchase another 1 L bottle. It's my go to shampoo.
• Another Holy Grail is the Amika Nourishing Mask. You can let it sit for a few minutes and use it like a conditioning mask or you can use it as a regular conditioner which is what I do most of the time. I love this because it's thick it's nourishing but it doesn't make my hair look super oily. It's the only conditioning treatment I've found that hasn't done that. I also don't mind their Rx Mask but I prefer the Nourishing Mask.
• Speaking of Amika I'm a big fan of their Dry Conditioner. I find this best when my hair is looking a tad dry on the ends of has some fly aways or frizz. It's lightweight, I don't use much and I only use it when I need it. 
• From Dry Conditioner to Dry Shampoos my pick is Not Your Mothers Clean Freak. Some people say they hate it, it gives a white cast, etc. I use very little dry shampoo and only in a situation where I definitely need it. Same goes for this I use very little I have no issues with it and bear in mind I have very dark hair. (but another one I like is the Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo)
• Loreal Elvive Camellia + Sunflower Oil: This was sent to me by Influenster and Loreal. I love this it's almost like a dry oil for the hair in a way. Camellia Oil is my favorite oil ever, it's a thicker oil which is surprising since this formula doesn't sit heavy on the hair. It more like defines it a little more without making it look piece-y. I love it on the ends of my hair. I love it all in my hair honestly, it's super softening. It's a win in my opinion, unless you just don't need it. In that case, carry on. 

So that's it guys. Those are the products I use. I'm not a huge hair spray or styling products type person. I like it when I have a little texture from dry shampoo but I don't really use hair spray unless I'm doing a specific hair style. I never blow dry my hair, and I usually only use heat on it once a week, if that. It tends to hold curl pretty well so that's also a bonus. I do use a Wet Brush out of the shower to detangle my wet hair. I rarely tease/back comb the hair since I feel it does more harm than good. I do like DIY Hair Masks that you can find on Pinterest. My favorite is an Olive Oil, Egg combination. I think it's 4 ingredients but I could be wrong. I find that it restores my shine the most and I feel like it's the raw egg that does it because I've made different variations but they've all had 1 raw egg in them and my hair was super shiny.
