Forever Favorite Hair Products & Tools
When it comes to the color and the style of my hair, I’m pretty low-maintenance (really, I’d like to keep my salon visits to a minimum). However, when it comes to hair products and tools, I’m pretty particular. Really, I can’t be without my favorites — I even travel with the mini-sized versions of my product, and I always bring my tools in my luggage.
OKAY so favorites! Back in 2011, I was introduced to Oribe, and ever since, I can’t go any different direction for shampoo and conditioner (right now, I have and love the Gold Lust liters, but I also love the Volumizing line). I also always use their Maximista spray prior to drying so my fine hair.
As for tools, I have owned and adored my Mason Pearson brushes (mini and regular-sized) and rake comb for years. I’ve also loved my Dyson hair dryer and my GHD 1.25 inch curling iron. These are definitely investment pieces, but forever items. Lastly, I use Slip silk products to keep my strands from breaking.
In terms of styling, I worked for an Aveda salon and discovered a couple products I’ll never be without (see below). Beyond that, my most recent love is Balmain Silk Perfume — a detangler and heat-protectant with the most subtle, clean scent.
I should note: I recognize several of these products aren’t perfectly “clean,” but they’re the “poison” I’ve chosen. They make me happy, they create a beautiful experience, and at the end of the day, they wash out of my hair, rather than sit on my skin or digest inside my body.
That said, I’ve dabbled with other products throughout the years, but I keep coming back to these below. Enjoy!
