Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

The best shampoo to wash deeply and detoxify my hair is @Ouai  OUAI Detox Shampoo I love it ❤️❤️

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

I started using “Dream Coat Anti-Frizz Treatment“ color wow, and it has done so much good for my hair that I decided to buy the whole line, it is the best thing I have tried for my hair ❤️❤️❤️ 
COLOR WOW Dream Coat Supernatural Spray Anti-Frizz Treatment 6.7 oz/ 200 mL 

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

I have lot of hair concerns after changing the place I stay. I am starting to use @briogeo recently and for scalp treatment I am using GRO serum. Hopefully everything works out well. Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair!™ Strength + Repair Solutions Set Vegamour GRO Hair Serum Trio Set for Thinning Hair 

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

I used to wash my hair everyday due to insecurities of it being “greasy.” That was until I discovered dry shampoo and now I was my hair once a week and it’s so much healthier! 

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

I have super oily hair, my tip is to go without washing it as long as you can. I used to wash my hair every other day now I can go 4 days without washing. Dry shampoo also helps. Use a detox shampoo once a week to help get rid of that dry shampoo build up. OUAI Detox Shampoo 
Also I have long hair that doesn’t hold a curl and would be straight by the end of the day and texture spray is a game changer. My hair can now hold curls until I wash it. Verb Volume Dry Texture Spray 5 oz/ 182 mL 

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

I use boar bristle brushes only. They make my hair shiny and keep it from breaking

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

If you have wavy hair and are looking for product to smooth and straighten, try COLOR WOW Mini Dream Coat Supernatural Spray Anti-Frizz Treatment 1.7 oz/ 50 mL.  I dont need to use a flatiron after using this product, and it helps my hair dry faster, so it helps prevent damage.

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

The Bumble and Bumble Sunday clarifying shampoo is a literal GAME CHANGER. I used to wash my hair everyday bc of how oily it is but after this shampoo i wash my hair every three days and am not producing nearly as much oils as I used to!

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

Wash your hairbrush to prevent product buildup in the brush and to avoid negating all the effort in cleaning the hair and scalp.

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

The shorter my hair, the more styling I have to do because it is so thick. Verb Ghost Prep Heat Protectant 4 oz/ 118 mL is very helpful to make sure my hair doesn’t get damaged and still looks healthy. 

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

My hair gets super tangled! My go to product for brushing them out is #amika The Wizard Detangling Hair Primer 4 oz/ 118 mL. This has worked miracles in my hair and helped me to prevent breakage!

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

When my hair needs a “pick me up” to revive it, I always reach for the amika Un.Done Volume and Matte Texture Spray . I received it as a deluxe sample ages ago, and have been obsessed ever since! It has a light scent and isn’t a dry shampoo, but lifts the roots and adds some texture to a style that’s gone a little flat. I used to always carry this around in my work bag, in case I went somewhere after work. A couple sprays and my hair looked fresh! It’s kind of like using a facial mist to revive your makeup, but for your hair! Highly recommend it, and I feel like nobody talks about this one!!

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

Using a microfiber towel when drying hair to prevent breakage. 😀 

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

Tight updos can cause hair loss.  I'm doing those less, however when I do an updo (like today) I try to do it loosely and secure with Bobby pins like SEPHORA COLLECTION Hold It Together: No-Slip Bobby Pins Brown and this other one from Kitsch, it's corkscrew shaped.

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

So Last month I started using Olaplex No. 0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment Olaplex No. 3 Hair Repair Perfector Olaplex No. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Hair Mask 3.3 oz/ 100 mL and Olaplex No. 6 Bond Smoother Reparative Styling Creme 3.3 oz/ 100 mL .

Here is my routine, I start with washing my hair. 

Then once it's dry you spray no.0 in until your hair is damp. Then you add no.3 from roots to ends. I leave it on until my hair starts to dry out(at least 10 min). Rinse it out. Then I go in with no.8 from mids to ends, leave on for the same amount of time as No. 3 and rinse. I do that once a week. I like to use No 6. Twice a week on damp hair from mids to ends, this is a leave in conditioning styling cream. My hair is very dry this helps a lot. Since I started doing this my hair has been falling out less and less and feels much stronger! 🙃 

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

I never used hair oil until I met #MorrocanOil!! My hair absorbs the oil

and adds softness and shine. I’ve always had oily hair and was afraid to try any oil product but it’s been such a game changer for me. 

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

I love pureology’s conditioner and leave in spray. I have very fine hair so it can get tangled very easily. But when I use these two products my hair brushes through so smoothly. 

@pureology 

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

I use Oribe The Cleanse Clarifying Shampoo 7.1 oz/ 200mL once a week to clean the residue of products out of my hair. 

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

My trick is to almost never use heat styling implements (read: less than 5x/yr) and my hair has grown much longer with far fewer split ends.

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

It took me a long time to find a hair oil that I actually liked because my hair gets weighed down pretty easily and a lot of oils just make it feel heavy and greasy.  However, the Verb Ghost Weightless Hair Oil 2 oz/ 60 mL is lightweight, doesn't make my hair look oily, and makes my hair feel and look softer.

Re: Best Hair Ever Sweepstakes: Enter For a Chance to Win One of Fifteen $200 e-Gift Cards!

One of the hair tips would oiling and massaging the hair atleast once in two weeks and leaving the oil for couple of hours before you rinse the hair and let them naturally dry thereafter. I find Moroccan oil and cocunut oil the best. This shall give much needed relaxation, hydration and rejuvenation to the hair. And as convenient for you, getting hair spa works great as well.

Also I feel we should give time gaps before getting any new chemical treatment done, like if we getting hair colouring and straightening done, best to take atleast a year’s gap.
