I’m about as far from a beauty blogger as it gets.
trust me I can’t believe I’m doing a hair post either….
but perhaps some of you wake up looking as … interesting…. as yours truly…..
But I definitely have a few go-to items when I need my hair to look it’s best.
…. other than my #1…. DRY SHAMPOO. Obviously.
So today I thought I’d share a few favorites, including my favorite Steal + Splurge Shampoo/Conditioners, Hair Dryer, Styling Tools, etc.
Since getting pregnant + then having the twins my hair has been growing so fast that I’ve gone from highlighting every 10-12 weeks to now needing it AND NEEDING IT BADLY about every 8.
It’s not only growing faster but my natural color has gotten darker since I had the twins. WOOF.
I hate having to do the extra trips ….. and my wallet hates it more!
Full disclosure this is after leaving the salon Friday.
If you follow my instagram stories…. you know this is *not* common.
but I digress…… my favorite things below :
This dryer/volumizer tool is 35% off today!
I got it during Amazon Prime Day after seeing a million people rave about it on instagram. I do love it. and use it a ton. BUT. I will say I don’t love it to dry you’re whole head if it’s soaking wet/just out of the shower hair. I think it would be too damaging? So I let my hair air dry or get fairly dry before I use it, or I sleep with wet hair and this brings it back to life in 60 seconds flat. I have crazy curly hair on the underneath part and this somehow magically makes it look like I’ve dried and flat ironed it.
Side note: I don’t understand how all of these bloggers show this dryer and rave about it and there’s like ZERO hair in it. I wish I could blame postpartum but NOPE. Am I the only one who has hair all in my brushes and any hair tool I own?!
Here’s my legit I woke up like this:
proof that I use the damn thing
……and apparently shed like a dog:
My favorite blowdryer is one that I used on a girls trip 2.5 years ago and ALL 4 of us went home and immediately bought this hair dryer. It is powerful and quick. We all LOVED it, and I still do.
This Beachwaver curling iron I have raved about before – you can style your whole head in 3 minutes flat and its idiot proof for people like me. The best for waves. Love the little button to roll the barrel for you if you aren’t great with a curling iron clamp like yours truly.
QVC has a special where you can pick which size barrel and it’s on sale for $129 versus the usual $199.
Also, Bed Bath and Beyond has it for $129 so you could use a 20% off coupon!
I highlight my hair and so I always try to use color specific shampoo’s and conditioner’s.
This Redken Shampoo is amazing and my favorite go-to. I used the one for damaged hair for about a long time and they also have a color extend. he big bottle lasts FOREVER (maybe because I try not to wash my hair too often? But it really lasts SO long.)
I had heard about the Color Wow line for so long that when it was a Today’s Deal on the Today Show I went for it. Hoda had raved about this styling spray to help with frizz so I got the bundle of the Shampoo/Conditioner/ and spray
on crazy sale.
The spray alone is worth trying out. You only have to use the spray every 3 washes and then blow dry your hair to activate it.
They also sell a travel set of all 3 to try out.
Hope you all look as fresh as leaving the hair salon with a few of these.
