Hair Products for Healthy, Long Hair

Let's talk hair! 

It's taken me almost 2 years to grow my hair back to the same length/thickness I once had - All before I did quite a number on my hair and fried it to the point of being above shoulder length. Through this process, I found some of my ride or die products that I swear by!

Favorite Shampoo/Conditioner: I have tried, what feels like 450 (SO dramatic) different shampoos and conditioners. When it comes to a shampoo or conditioner, I prefer one that is formulated WITHOUT Parabens, Sulfates, and Phthalates. I like to switch them up and try different brands but I always seem to come back to this brand. This brand is not only inexpensive but WORKS big time! This is the main shampoo I used while trying to repair my hair. This conditioner is AMAZING for dry, damaged hair. Every summer when my sister-in-law would come to town we would spend the whole Saturday tanning while having either the conditioner or mask caked in our hair. These two products are OG's! My other two favorite's that I have found myself continuing to replace and buy again is this shampoo and conditioner. 

Favorite Hair Mask: This leave-in mask is a GAME CHANGER! I swear by this mask! It leaves your hair SO soft and smells AMAZING. I NEVER run out of this mask it's that good! Another mask I like to use when I feel like I have 10 pounds of dry shampoo in my hair is THIS one! It will make your scalp feel so clean and refreshed. Using some kind of scalp detox is a must. When your scalp/hair is clean of all products it allows for fresh products to penetrate and absorb better. 

Favorite Oils: This oil is EVERYTHING! Oh my, this oil is good.  I use this on my ends almost every day.  It helps if you have dry, damaged hair. All you need is a small drop! This bottle will last you FOREVER! My other go-to oil is THIS one. I was recently introduced to this one (probably about 6 months ago) and it's become a fav. It smells SOO good! I use it on my hair for a TON of shine and health. This will also last you a while. I use a drop size amount and apply it to the whole bottom part of my hair. It will instantly make your hair shiny and smooth. 

Favorite Heat Protectants: If you use any type of hot tool, a heat protectant is a MUST! I use THIS one while my hair is wet before I even start blow drying! I love the smell of this one but more importantly, it's a must if you want healthy hair!

Favorite Pillowcase: I've used this real silk pillowcase for around 2 years. It was actually a Christmas gift! I will never go without a silk pillowcase. The benefits are CRAZY for not only your hair but your skin! Unlike a cotton pillowcase, silk help prevent your hair from being tangled (or pure rat's nest when your wake up). I love that as far as skin goes, the silk pillowcase won't absorb all the products I lather on before bed/ hold bacterial on the pillowcase. It's an investment, but so worth every penny. 

Hope you enjoyed this post! Let me know if you have tried any of these products/ what are our favorites!?
