This is my ABSOLUTE favorite for dry hair. I have recommended this product to so many of my clients and friends and many of them still use it to this day. It leaves your hair feeling soft and smooth again.

This was my favorite moisturizing and hydrating shampoo for years until I discovered the Redken All Soft Shampoo (which is also listed on my page). Drench is a runner up on my list! If you cant find the redken shampoo, this is the next best thing.
Drench Shampoo - Sebastian | Ulta Beauty

I love this shampoo for all of my clients who love having their hair lighter. Bleach strips our hair of protein which will cause breakage and dryness overtime. Unfortunately its inevitable. But you can combat that with a productive hair care routine ...

I get PR boxes from IGK every now and then of their newest products and this shampoo happened to be one of those products. I used it on my client who is constantly battling with really flat hair. My jaw dropped when I saw what a big difference it mad...

 UseCHEFS KISS Fan favorite purple toning shampoo on the market. It helps neutralize brassy tones that surface when your color fades overtime. WARNING: I do not recommend buying this from amazon. It is a 50/50 chance that you may receive a dupe. Pleas...SALONGUYS.COM . They are a legit distributor for fanola. I am only posting this on here because benable doesnt have salonguys on their website. But I wanted to list this product because it is amazing! But be warned, it works so well that it can be a bit drying. P...

What I love most about this product is that its a ONE step process. Shampoo, no conditioner, towel dry, apply k18 into your hair and thats it! It works to repair damage from bleach, color, chemical services, and heat, restoring strength, softness, sm...
Mini Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask

I used this product for about 2 years before I discovered Olaplex and always had great feedback from clients who decided to also purchase it on their own. It is a hair repair mask for those with brittle and dry hair. But as a stylist, we are always l...

WAIT HEAR ME OUT! I have ALWAYS been skeptical of those hair growth gummies and pills. I truly thought that most of them were scams. BUT I have a client who has been with me for 4 years. Her hair was so thin that I was able to see the back of her sca... and 1 of the other 2 had fuller hair when she came back. I know this post is a bit lengthy but I really had to share my experiences in witnessing my clients receiving great results from this magic bottle!

My most favorite detangler sprayer discontinued so I was on a hunt for a new one and came across Kenra's Platinum Pearl and the only thing I dont like about it, is that it doesn't come in a bigger bottle. I tease every balayage client and half the ti...
