Be it braids, bedhead or blow-out curls, it seems as if these Hollywood goddesses can do no wrong. Want to know their secret?
I have seen so many red carpet photos of perfect celebrities. We have Angelina Jolie with her hair in a tight, curled burl with a single strand brushing her cheeks. We have Megan Fox with her hair sleek and soft, cascading down her back. We have Olivia Wilde with her hair of softly blown curls, dancing around her shoulder.
What do they have in common? I will let you in on a little secret – it is the best hair products money can buy. Now, there is no use overspending $100 on a product if it is not what you truly need. Here is a quick guide!
For the clueless
I am guilty of neglecting my hair care. Being an avid fan of red hair, I have been patronizing color dyeing salons since 16 and it is no surprise that my hair condition has fallen into shambles. Believe me when I say this is my emergency kit. Are you ready to save your hair?
Step 1: Condition, condition, condition
It is true; all hair nourishing starts in the shower. I am very particular about my conditioner. One of my choice picks right now is the Essential Moisturizing Frizz Free Conditioner. Not only does it smell like roses and strawberries, it is very potent, leaving my hair luxuriously soft even after leaving it in for just three minutes. For the days I don’t feel lazy, I would apply the accompanying hair mask.
Available at supermarkets and departmental stores.
Step 2: Recognize your condition
If you are suffering from hair loss, look no further. Find some big shades and started heading out to your local hair salon to grab yourself one of these. L’oreal has just introduced their most powerful hair serum yet – Serioxyl promises to awaken even the most dormant of hair follicles and initiate a new phase of hair life cycle once again.
Available at selected hair salons.
Step 3: Care throughout the day
There is no excuse for unkempt hair. This product particularly calls out to me because I frequently dye my hair. Most salons recommend not washing your hair 3-5 days after dyeing, an unbearable thought for me so thank god for all-day dry shampoo! Hair spray is a pivotal product if you are attempting a new hairstyle. There is no such thing as a gorgeous, messy bun – it is all hair spray!
Available at Sephora.
Step 4: Fix it quick
In our weather, it is no surprise if your hair acts up and starts to frizz. Instead of going to the toilet and aggressively trying to comb it down, why not keep a small bottle of oil elixir in your bag and applying it whenever you see your hair misbehaving? It is fuss free and much more lasting.
Available at supermarkets and departmental stores.
Step 5: Glam it up!
Finally feeling a little more confident about your hair? Reward your hair with a generous spray of glitter and hit the clubs! There is nothing more teasing than having your hair sparkling when the glitter catches the light’s reflection. Party on!
Available at Sephora.
