11 Hair Products Every Woman NeedsIs your bathroom a black hole of pastes, pomades, and shine sprays? Here are the only essentials you really need for fabulous hair |
No. 4: A salon-quality blow dryer All our experts agreed that a quality blow dryer is worth the investment. "Your hair won't look like you just got a professional blowout without a salon blow dryer," says Jennifer J. And Babaii adds, "A well-made, powerful dryer cuts drying time in half." Here are a few of our experts' favorites:
Potempa: H2PRO Ultra Light Nano Hi-Tech 2500, $109.99. "This is the quietest, lightest blow dryer I have ever used. I love that it dries my hair fast and has a cool button that locks in place." A blast of cool air at the end of a drying session sets the hair, closes the cuticle, and leaves hair feeling healthy, she says.
Jennifer J.: Barbar Ceramic ECO 8000 Blow Dryer, $99.99. "[It] is the grand daddy of all blow dryers. It is strong, silent, and eco-friendly."
Jones: Paul Mitchell Express Ion Blow Dryer, $150. "Get [dryers] that have baked-in ions and ceramic -- not plated. A girl's got to have the real thing!"

Oh gosh!! word to the wise, never ever buy tresemme fresh start! after following the directions on the back of the bottle step by step my hair turned out even greasier and itchier. Plus it makes your hair white. trust me it does. I have blondish hair with natural undertones and natural highlights and this made me look like i had roots galore! i really wanted to like this product as i usually do with tresemme products but i just had to leave this one behind due to the horrible results.

I'm crazy about hair oils. My favorite hair oil is josie maran argan oil hair serum. Honestly, i'm not too crazy about dry shampoos but maybe it's simply because I have yet to find one that truly does it's job.

Many of the products suggested in this article don't even have any reviews on your site. It seemed as thought the most out-of-this world expensive version was offered and the most cheapest was mentioned. A middle ground product with some actual customer reviews would have made this article relevant.

Pequi oil is very flammable. So I never use it. Especially with heat styling.

Leave in conditioners and dry shampoos are great!
