Five Favorites- Hair Products.

I would like to start a new series where I list my 5 favorites and give a mini review. Hopefully I can do it regularly and you guys enjoy it! As always I purchased these products myself and these are my own opinions. 

      


1.Redkin Extreme Anti-Snap Fortifier
$17.50 for 8.5 fl oz or $4.00 for a 1.7 fl oz at Ulta if you want to try it out. 
I bought this product when I over bleached my hair and ruined it! My girlfriend told me her mom has used it and loved it for years and I see why. I've used this on wet and dry hair and I have to say this product saved my straw like yellow hair. It made it softer and it looked 5x healthier just after a few uses. The terrible blonde hair is gone but this product is sticking around. I apply it to my damp hair on my ends and my bangs because those are the most damaged parts of my hair. It's a light weight serum with a light scent nothing to noticeable. 

      


2.NexxusPro-Mend Split End Binding Smoothing Shine Serum 
$12.99 for 1.7fl oz pump bottle at Ulta. This is another product I picked up when for some crazy reason I bleached my hair! Ulta.com says 
"NexxusPro-Mend Split End Binding Smoothing Shine Serum provides daily repair for split end problem areas while giving your hair that extra shine." I've been trimming my hair regularly so I can't say if it's magically binding my split ends back together but it helped return life and moisture to my dry damaged hair. This product is a thick siliconeish feeling product when you first pump it out but it slides through your hair and doesn't leave it heavy or nasty, I've used it on my hair wet and dry. This is definitely a product I will be repurchasing because I'm always changing my hair color so damage is inevitable. 

         


3.amika’s Bombshell Blowout spray
This is a product I got a deluxe sample of in one if my BirchBoxes and I love it! You can find it on BirchBox.com and get the full size 8oz spray bottle for $24.00. I like to spray this on my damp hair before I blow dry it. It's a heat protector and helps give my fine hair some lift and texture. It says that you can also use it on dry hair to refresh your style but I've never tried it. It's a light mist that has a slight floral scent nothing over powering. It doesn't dry sticky or heavy. I plan on buying the full size when my sample runs out. Though it is $24 I know that an 8oz bottle will last me at least 6 months because you don't need much of it and I only use it when I blow dry my hair. 

     


4.Macadamia Natural Oil Healing Oil
4.2 fl oz for 39.95 or you can get a travel size like mine for between $6.50-$13.50. Mine came in one of my very first BirchBox's and has lasted for months. This product can also be found at Ulta and also comes in a lighter spray version that I'm dying to try! I've used this on my hair wet and dry to help control frizz and make sure my flat iron runs smoothly over my hair. I love the way it smells and never feels heavy like some products can. It also gives the hair a nice natural shine without looking greasy or dirty. I love this product and I will be getting it again, like I said at the top in dying to try the spray version!

        


5.Suave Professionals Dry Shampoo Spray 5oz spray bottle for around $3 
I have dry color treated hair that has some what of a natural curl to it so I shampoo my hair as little as possible. Thankfully I don't have overly oily hair. This helps me push my hair to 4 even 5 day hair if I really want to. I know this sounds crazy to some people but it has really helped the condition of my hair. I like to use this products on my roots in the front and my crown in short sweeping sprays. Than I skimpily use my hands or a brush to distribute the product and make sure there aren't any white patches. I have repurchased this product a few times. For $3 it does exactly what it says it will and give some texture and body to my slightly dirty  hair, plus I love the smell!

Like I said this this a new series I'd like to keep doing spotlighting my favorite five products in certain category's. What are your Favorite Five hair products? Which Favorite Five would you like to see next? Let me know! Thank You everyone for checking out my blog!
