Woman Getting Haircut: Medium-Light Skin Tone emoji 20 items
I have only a handful of hair things that work for me and I don't change. My scalp is extremely problematic and for the past 15 years, I've used only specific shampoos which I'll share here, too. Hair care is also difficult for me to choose, it's qui...

Shampoos for problematic scalp

I'm extremely sensitive to shampoos, I think I nearly never showered with a usual drugstore shampoo or anything of this sort. It's been only dermatological/ specific ones and not all of them worked for me. Still, using a normal shampoo irritates my s...

This shampoo returned me to life by healing my scalp! I refuse to use another shampoo. My holy grail. I was struggling for many years to stop the itch, flakiness and irritation and this is the only one with long-term results within the first month. M...

This is my favourite shampoo that fights dandruff and flaking but for dry scalp/hair. It leaves the hair and the scalp hydrated, and full of life, while it heals the sensitive skin and removes the problems. No more wondering when, how and with what t...
Vichy Dercos Anti-Dandruff DS Shampoo for Dry Hair 200ml, 6.76oz

This shampoo is a lifesaver. I used it for several years. It has the best cooling minty effect while using it in the shower. Even the craziest itch is calmed and the scalp is clear after use. It absolutely helps with dandruff.

Great dermatological shampoo for oily dandruff! Removes and heals, and your scalp just feels clean and healthy afterwards. Lathers very well and also cleans the hair itself very well. A great recommendation for a healthy scalp.

This elution is the maintenance shampoo after you've done a healing course with the Squanorm shampoos. A great dermatological product that I think can also be used by itself. It helps as much as the treatment shampoo and leaves the hair soft. Very go...

This Neutrogena therapeutic shampoo brings awesome results! It has active charcoal in it. Removes the itch and your scalp feels relieved. BUT, be careful of the smell, it doesn't smell very pleasantly. However, the smell does go away and I think the ...

Hair Oils

Nourishing oils that give the hair a healthy shine and protection.

My favourite hair oil, lightweight with a light pleasant scent. It hydrates, protects and nourishes the hair. It gives it a good natural shine without weighing it down or leaving a greasy feeling.
Essence Absolue Nourishing Protective Hair Oil

The Kerastase Elixir Oil is an all-time favourite and a must-try at least once in life (it's pricey) but it's super worth it. The hair becomes smooth, shiny and nourished.

I love the black professional hair oils. I've used several of them, mainly the transparent one on the picture and I'm happy with it. Their other products are also very good and don't break the bank.

Hair Masks

I always look for hair masks that make my hair silky straight out of the shower. I want it to be hydrated and flowy. This list will include masks that leave me with this feeling.

Light and smoothing keratin hair mask! And it's so inexpensive! Absolutely great effect for the price. It comes in a big tub and lasts a very long time. It gives the hair what it needs.

I didn’t expect to love the Amika Soulfood hair mask as much as I do, but it’s seriously become a favourite. My hair tends to get dry and a little frizzy, and this makes it feel so soft and healthy without being heavy. Plus, the scent is amazing—I lo...

This mask smells like a tropical vacation in a jar! It leaves my hair super soft and less frizzy. It's quite thick, but it spreads easily and I don't have to use a ton. My hair felt way more hydrated from the first use. It's now part of my hair produ...

Serums

I love using serums to add a boost of strength and shine without weighing my hair down. Just a few drops go a long way, and they’re perfect for treating specific concerns like hair strength and help with quicker growth.

I’ve been using the Kérastase Genesis Serum for a few weeks now, and honestly, I’m really impressed. It’s lightweight, doesn’t leave my scalp greasy, and smells really nice (kind of like a fresh, clean salon scent). I apply a few drops directly to my...

I got the Ouai scalp serum to help with hair strengthening and growth and it didn't disappoint! I got the exact results that I wanted, fuller and healthier hair.

Conditioner/Leave-ins

I focus on using masks more but sometimes I also use conditioners. I'll leave some recommendations that I like but this list won't be long :)

The Gliss spray conditioners are my go-to, they're so easy to use. They help a ton with detangling the hair. The hair has a bounce and sexy movement with them, but also remains tidy. You don't need a lot, just a few sprays.

I'm shook with the results of this gloss. From the whole line, this is the most effective product. It makes the hair shiny and silky smooth. If you want to try a hair gloss, this is a wonderful product.

Some products that make a hold of your hair :)

This hair spray is super fine (in texture), doesn't split the hair but keeps it soft and easily keeps the hairstyle in place. You can brush and comb through it. Simple and working product.

This Syoss Keratin Mousse is thick, extra hold and thick. It holds the hair super well, it doesn't make it too firm and still maintains bounciness and movement. I rarely use a mousse but when I do it's this one.
