You girls have been so kind! Let me tell you, I was so embarrassed to post my hair tutorial video! But, you have all been so encouraging! I honestly believe I have the most kind- hearted readers ever…I just do. God has really blessed me with you…I am so thankful.
I have received some e-mails asking me what products I recommend. To be quite honest…I have “inexpensive” products that I really like and use for a typical day (which is most days!) and I have “moderately priced” products that I love, but only use them for special occasions. The “moderately priced” products make my hair feel and look just a bit better, but I don’t feel comfortable spending the money on more expensive products when I know my hair is going to end up in a pony tail during a busy weekday. Being respectful with money is very important to me -even with little things like hair products…it all adds up!!! (I would much rather take that additional money and sponsor a child !).
As far as hair color-I do have “golden” high-lights and brunette low-lights put in about every 4 months (3 x a year). I go to a very sweet girl who does hair in her basement.
My “Inexpensive” line-up:
Shampoos and Conditioners-
Finesse 2 in 1 (love the smell and have used this since I was a child)
Pantene Pro-V Fine Hair Solutions (Shampoo and Conditioner)
Mousse–
TRESemme
Hairspray-
TRESemme
Color “extender” (so I don’t have to highlight as often)– I use this when I have “roots”. I LOVE it!
Beyond the Zone-Glam Street Glze Sizzl’n Brunette
My “Moderately Priced” line up: These are my absolute favorites, but they come with a cost that I am not willing to pay for “every day” hair.
Shampoo/Conditioners:
Biolage Volumatherapie Shampoo and Conditioner
Mousse:
Biolage Volumatherapie
Hairspray:
Big, Sexy Hair (I know, the name….lol. But, this honestly is the best hairspray out there in my opinion!)
There you have it Girls! I have had a lot of fun with your e-mails and comments….thanks so much!
My daughter has very curly long hair. I took her to the salon to get her hair done for her 1st Communion when she was 7 since I wasn’t sure the best style for a veil. After washing it, the beautician put a curl lotion in my daughter’s hair, pinned it up loosely so the curls fell down softly. Her hair looked fabulous, so I asked the name of the hair cream. The beautician said “Big, Sexy Curls”. I gulped at the name but the beautician said it’s one of the best products because it doesn’t weigh hair down or leave a sticky finish. I ended up buying a tube of the product & have been sold on it ever since. While I’m not too keen on the name (especially when using it on a 9-year-old), I haven’t found another product that works as well & it’s not too expensive considering the tiny amount we use.
I completely agree Julie!
So glad to know that you have fine hair and like Finesse! I was thinking of buying it because of the price, but I was reluctant because I have very fine hair that gets weighed down easily. I think I’ll give it a try!
Yes, love it!
