It’s been SO long since I’ve done a roundup of my everyday hair products and routine — and with my new shorter locks I thought now would be the perfect time to share my updated routine… which, side-note, who knew short hair was MORE work than long hair? I have to wash my hair twice as much these, but with this southern summer humidity that’s probably for the best.
Let’s start with the basics:
I like to start with a good everyday shampoo that cleans but doesn’t strip away all the good stuff or leave a greasy residue. I’ve tried EVERYTHING and these are my two favorites:
Every other week (or once a week depending on how much I was in the sun/chlorine) I like to do a deeper cleanse/condition with these:
Purple shampoo and conditioner is KEY for maintaining blonde hair and these are my favorite ones out of ALL the ones I’ve tried!
If you’re looking to splurge (and it’s totally worth every penny) this one is the holy grail of purple products:
The best mid-range purple cleansers I have found:
And this drugstore purple shampoo and conditioner is a great find if you’re on a budget!
I have also recently discovered this silver shampoo and conditioner and I am COMPLETELY obsessed! It smells amazing and makes my hair feel so soft after I use it.
This microfiber towel cuts down my drying time AND combats frizz… a double win during the summer months especially.
Before drying I like to use heat protectors and do a little bit of volume-boosting. I am always rotating these products pre-blowout.
I ALWAYS use a texturizing product before styling my hair but depending on what look I’m going for I switch up with type of product I use. For hair mousse these have been my go-to’s for years:
For texturizing sprays I LOVE these — they are also great for a little volume if I’m styling day old hair.
This volumizing powder is a complete game-changer and acts as a mild-dry shampoo in between washes.
Yes, I still use hairspray. It’s 100 degrees here, I have no option! Out of the HUNDREDS of hairspray, I have tried these are my absolute favorites.
Dry shampoo is a basic life necessity for me and I have so many favorites, from high end to drug store brands I like to consider myself a connoisseur of dry shampoo. Here are my favorites:
For dry shampoo’s you can pick up at the drugstore but still rival that of boutique haircare brands here are a handful of ones I always grab:
Tools are key when curling and these are the curling products I use most frequently to get my loose waves:
Do NOT skip out on a heat styling spray, especially if you have dry or colored hair! Trust me on this one.
If my hair is looking a little dull or yellowish this toning spray is pure magic:
Brushes and tools are not to be overlooked… not all brushes are created equal! These are tried and true staples that I always revert back to!
If I’m traveling or on the go, these are essentials for packing my favorite products:
