Drugstore hair care I rebuy for heat styled hair
15
items I blow dry my hair straight most days and I am not spending fifty dollars a bottle to do it, so this is the drugstore lineup I have actually rebought instead of the stuff that sat under the sink. Nothing here is fancy and a few of these have been the...
This goes on damp hair before the dryer, every single time, and it is the reason my ends are not fried after years of blow drying straight. Two dollars less than the salon version and I cannot tell the difference. The nozzle sputters when the bottle ...
TRESemmé Heat Protect Spray With Marula Oil, Keratin Smooth For 5-in-1 Anti-Frizz Control ,8 Fl Oz
I have circled back to this bottle more times than I want to admit after chasing whatever was trending. It is heavy enough to handle a week of heat styling without leaving my hair squeaky. The scent is strong and old fashioned, and if your hair is fi...
Pantene Pro-V Shampoo Daily Moisture Renewal, 27.7 oz
Sunday night this sits on my ends for ten minutes while I do everything else in the bathroom, and Monday's blowout takes half the time. It is the one deep treatment I have actually finished the whole tub of. The tub is awkward to open with wet hands ...
L'Oreal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths Savior Fiber Hair Mask, 12 fl oz
Blow drying every day would wreck my hair, so this is what buys me day two and day three. It absorbs enough oil at the roots that nobody can tell I skipped a wash. The classic scent is strong, so spray from further away than you think or you get a wh...
Batiste Original Dry Shampoo, Absorbs Oil & Grease, Classic Clean Scent, 3.81 oz
Two drops on the ends after the dryer is the difference between looking done and looking frizzy by lunch. A bottle lasts me close to a year, which is why I never mind the price. Go past two drops and you look greasy, and there is no fixing that witho...
OGX Renewing + Argan Oil of Morocco Penetrating Hair Oil Treatment, 3.3 oz
This goes on soaking wet hair and it is what keeps the brush from ripping through on the way to the dryer. It is light enough that it does not fight the heat protectant. The pump is stiff and the bottle is small, so I go through it faster than anythi...
Not Your Mother's Way to Grow Long and Strong Leave-In Conditioner (Step 3), 6 fl oz
Once every couple of weeks this strips out the dry shampoo and product buildup that makes my blowout go flat. Nothing else I have tried resets my hair like it does. It is genuinely stripping, so I follow it with the mask, and using it weekly would be...
Neutrogena Anti-Residue Clarifying Shampoo 12oz
This is the finishing spray at the very end, not the thing that goes on before heat. The mist is fine enough that my hair still moves instead of going crunchy. The hold really is flexible, which also means on a humid day it gives up by mid afternoon.
Dove Flexible Hold Styling Hairspray Protect Micro-Mist, 5.5 oz
Swapping a regular bath towel for this cut real time off my drying and a lot of the frizz that comes from rough towel drying. The button loop actually stays put while I get dressed. It gets funky if you do not hang it to dry properly, so mine lives o...
Turbie Twist Microfiber Hair Towel Wrap - 1 Pack - For Women, Men & Kids - Travel & Bathroom Essential - Quick Dry Hair Turban for Curly, Long & Thick Hair (Assorted Colors)
I bought the first one for my daughter's tangles and ended up buying a second one for myself. It gets through wet hair without the snapping sound that makes me wince. The bristles splay out after about a year of daily use and it stops gliding, so I t...
Wet Brush Original Detangler, Black Frost
The barrel heats up with the dryer, which is what actually smooths hair instead of just pulling it straight. My blowout went from twenty five minutes to about fifteen. The two inch barrel is too big for the pieces around my face, so I still need a sm...
Professional 2" Ceramic Ion Round Blow Dry Brush
Daily heat styling made my scalp flaky and this is what finally got the shampoo down to the skin. It also feels good enough that my shower got two minutes longer. The silicone bristles are stiffer than they look, and if you scrub hard you will make y...
Nizoral Hair Shampoo Brush & Scalp Massager, 2 Pack
This is the cheapest thing that made my second day hair look better, full stop. Less friction overnight means less frizz to fix in the morning. It slides off the pillow if you toss and turn, and I have woken up with it on the floor more than once.
Mainstays Satin Pillowcase – Standard – Blush Pink – Frizz Control & Cooling Comfort – 1 Pack
Sectioning is the boring step that makes a home blowout look like it was not done at home. Twelve is more than I need, which is good because they end up all over the house. The metal ones leave a crease if you clip damp hair too tightly, so I keep th...
Hair Sectioning Metal Hair Clips - 12pk - Silver - up&up™
Our water is hard and my hair felt coated no matter what shampoo I used, and this was the fix I put off for way too long. The cartridge is the actual rebuy, roughly twice a year. Installing it drops your water pressure a little, and my husband brings...
