My Top Hair Care Products

As  mentioned in a previous post my hair is about 1 inch below my shoulders.  It's a combination of wavy and straight.  My hair is thick and fine.  I mainly wear it curly like in my profile picture.  I use the curling iron I showed in my previous post to curl my hair.  I thought I would add the list of hair products I use on my hair.  Ulta is having a special on Matrix products.  Buy 2 get 1 free :)

In the shower:
The products mentioned below were the ones that were recommended by Good Housekeeping for aging hair care products.  That is how I stumbled across them. 

Shampoo: Matrix Biolage Age Rejuvinating Shampoo (18.00)

Love this stuff.  My hair is much healthier and my hair color lasts much longer now that I have been using this.

Conditioner:
I actually combine 2 for my hair.  When my second child was still getting up for night feedings, the only thing on TV was infomercials.  I would get sucked into these everytime.  Thank goodness I couldn't get to the phone or I would have a whole lot of stuff at my house.  I watched the WEN haircare one several times.  I went online and searched for dupes for it and found that Sally's beauty carries one and have been using it for about 9 months now. 

Matrix Biolage: Age Rejuinvating Conditioner (18.00)

Sallys Beauty:  Hair One (12.00): 
I tried this on it's own, but was not wild about how my hair felt.  It makes my hair color very shiny.  I add a pump of this to the conditioner above.

I also use a weekly treatment from Sallys
AGEbeautiful Intense Strengthening Treatment (10.00).  I use this once per week, usually on Sundays.  I tend to not fix my hair at all that day.

After the Shower:
It's a Ten: (18.00)
I have used this going on 2 1/2 years now and can really tell a difference in my hair when I don't spray it on after my shower.  I use about 6 sprays all over my head before I comb my hair out.

Alterna Thickening Compoud: 15.00
This really helps my hair get some lift due to it being so fine.

Rusk: Deep Shine Protective Oil:  (16.00)
I use this only on my ends.  Due to my hair being longer and the amount of heat I used on it, I really try to protect my ends so my hair can continue to grow.

Got2b Guardian Angel Heat Protect 'N Curl Spray (around 10.00)

Got2b Guardian Angel Heat Protect 'N Curl Spray, 6.80 Ounce

I know that's a lot of products, but it's what works for my hair.  The one I cannot and won't live without is the It's a 10.  That stuff is a miracle worker in my mind.  What do you use and can't live without???  Share below.

  1. I have been dying to try it's a 10 products..I am getting that spray! And I use the Tresemme so I really hope it's not dis-continued. I love RUSK smoothers line shampoo & conditioners, Rusk Smoother leave in conditioner is nice too. I am a HUGE fan of Kerastase products which are crazy expensive..but if you can afford them I'd highly recommend especially the Reconstructor milk (green container) and the hair masks. I could go on & on..I'm slightly addicted to hair products. Have you tried any of the John Frieda Brilliant brunette/blonde, etc series ?

I haven't tried the Frieda stuff but heard good stuff. I will head out with your tips for other must trys as well. Thanks for the comment
