I’m pretty crazy protective of my hair, I’m not going to lie. I have previously been pretty nasty to it (lots and lots of at home dye attempts, lots of heat…) and it’s getting pretty long so it needs a trim.
I’m finding that my priority at the moment is to keep my hair as healthy and manageable as possible, and to keep it looking that way.
So, with that in mind I figured I’d share my favourite products (and tools) at the moment, especially because I’m trying to achieve all this on a very small budget. Plus, these are all products I’ve found either at the grocery store or in the case of my hair straightener, just at Priceline.
Here’s the list!
1. Garnier Nutri-Repair Instant Detangler Spray 150mL – $5.99
I am in love with this spray. So much so that I just bought another bottle off the Priceline website and paid about the same amount in postage as the actual product costs because I can’t seem to find it anywhere on shelves at the moment. I’ve always struggled with detangling my hair, especially after sleeping on it for a night. It’s got a bit of fruit oils in it, but I don’t find that it leaves an oily residue if you don’t use an excessive amount (which you shouldn’t need to) which is important to me because I have quite oily hair. Also, it smells absolutely amazing! I love using it purely for the delicious smell. Definitely something I adore putting on the ends of my hair.
2. vo5 Heat Protect Styling Spray 200mL – $7.69
I’ll be honest, I have absolutely no idea if this works. It smells really good though! And if it does work, it certainly doesn’t leave a residue. The only reason you can even tell it’s in your hair is because of the smell. So, if you’re going to go for a heat protecting spray I’d recommend this one.
3. Davroe Hair Wellness Replenish Jojoba Creme Treatment – $23.95
I got this in my Lust Have It! box one month (click the link for $5 off your first box! So worth it!) and it has been one of the best things I have ever gotten out of the box. You leave it in your hair for 5-7 minutes and then rinse out and good Lord your hair is delightfully soft afterwards, again with no residue. It genuinely makes my hair feel healthier, rather than just coating it in product and making it seem healthier.
4. Remington Pro Slimline Ceramic Straightener – $25
I’ve had this straightener for a decent few years, and when I got it I purchased it as an upgraded version of my previous Remington straightener. They last for an exceptionally long time, they glide through your hair and my favourite bit is that they’re no where near as expensive as ‘professional’ tools. I would recommend Remington to anyone, any time. I have always had my Remington products for an exceptionally long time (my hair dryer will not die) and I love that because I don’t have the money to be spending on extra tools. I use this straightener to curl my hair also, and it does a really good job because it’s slimline. I’ve got fairly difficult hair in regards to straightening, mainly because I’ve got naturally curly/wavy hair and it’s hard to keep it straight all day, but this works. I’ve used it on even tougher hair as well, and it’s till held it’s own. It heats up to a lovely 230 degrees celcius (I’d never use a higher temperature on my hair anyway) and I just can’t rave enough about it.
So there you have it! If you have any questions, please feel free to comment below! Even better, if you have any tips you’d like to share that’d be so helpful too!
Happy hair days guys! 🙂
