Intensive Therapy for Stressed Out Hair

Replenish hair that’s suffered major damage and stress with Biolage by Matrix Conditioning Balm ($17.00). This conditioning treatment uses scalp-soothing rosemary and antiseptic goldenseal to purify, along with a plentiful helping of deep conditioners to heal dry hair. Algae extract balances sebum-production and aids in the production of collagen to strengthen your hair. Use anytime your hair feels frazzled to restore smoothness and silky shine.

Tame Puffy Hair

Those with very dry hair dread the puffy, frizzy look of their hair immediately after washing. Put an end to your fears with Terax Miele Hydrating Shampoo with Honey and Elder Flower ($20.00). Wheat proteins rebuild and repair damage as you wash, and protect against further breakage caused by scrubbing. The natural frizz fighter, Grapeseed extract, calms and smoothes for sleek and shiny hair. Wash day doesn’t have to be a bad day anymore!

Sake For Your Hair

Indulge in another product in the popular Fresh Sake scent line with Fresh Sake Hair Cream ($26.00). This non-greasy formula helps control frizz and flyaways without making hair appear weighed down. Beyond beautifying your hair, this product uses anti-flammatory gotu-kola extract to encourage lipid production and discourage dry, irritated scalps. Hair is protected from the elements with antioxidant olive fruit oil, and grapeseed oil smooths and seals ruffled up cuticles. Apply to wet or dry hair for styling control and another way to enjoy the tart citrus scent.

Make A Little Go A Long Way

Trying to get the most out of that expensive conditioner that you finally splurged on? Or, are you saving the tiniest bit of your now discontinued favorite product? Make conditioner go farther by trying these tips:

• Before applying conditioner, squeeze out as much excess water from hair as possible. Otherwise, the conditioner will be diluted, and may drip off of hair rather than being absorbed.
• Apply conditioner only to your “trouble spots”- for example, your ends- rather than all over your hair. Unless your hair is very dry, the midsection of hair will probably not need much conditioning. And if you have oily hair, conditioner applied to the roots might actually be making your hair more flat. Experiment with applying conditioner to certain sections of hair and observe the difference.

• Have a great scented conditioner that just gets covered up by other styling products? Use it to replace anti-frizz or shine serums to get amazing smelling (and looking) hair. Rub a small amount between your palms and smooth over hair. Use a small travel shampoo bottle like these to take it wherever you go for a scent and style touch-up!

All-in-One Conditioner!

Terax Hair Care Crema Ultra Moisturizing Daily Conditioner ($22.00) does the work of multiple styling products. This product detangles, reduces static buildup, improves elasticity and calms frizziness all in one shot! This is a perfect conditioner for severely dry or damaged hair. Apply a small amount to damp hair and leave in for one to two minutes. Rinse out, and enjoy soft, smooth hair that isn’t weighed down by tons of products!

Pump Up The Highlights

Naturally enhance highlights in lighter shades of brown and blonde hair with Kiehl’s Protein Concentrate Chamomile Shampoo ($15.50). Enhanced with wheat and soy proteins, hair and scalp are cleansed without being stripped of necessary moisture. Panthenol locks in moisture and vibrance so that highlights can really shine. Chamomile naturally encourages lightening (no harsh dyes needed!) without causing stress or damage to hair. This gentle shampoo is perfect for dry or normal hair types.

Dry Hair Quickly With Less Damage

Many hair brushes can cause serious damage to wet hair. The Platinum Professional 2.5″ Round 100% Boar Bristles Styling Brush ($15.74) uses gentler boar bristles, which help distribute hair’s natural oils, locking in shine. Boar bristles also help seal the cuticle as you brush, which discourages frizz and makes hair feel smoother and softer. The ergonomic grip makes this brush comfortable and easy to use for styling while drying.

Gain fuller hair that dries more quickly by separating hair into small sections with the brush, and drying from roots to ends.

Heal Your Hair

Reverse damage to abused hair and protect it from future mishaps with Neutrogena Triple Moisture Healing Shine Serum ($6.99). Using natural oils like olive, meadowfoam and sweet almond, this serum penetrates hair to smooth, seal and shine. Rough, dry hair will be polished and sleek, as well as protected from sun damage by the addition of UV filters. Use this serum on damp or dry hair as preferred, evenly distributing two to three drops over the outer surface and ends of hair.

Dazzling Hair From CHI

Straighten, flip and curl with the versatile Farouk Pink Dazzle CHI 1” Flat Hair Iron ($114.95). This ergonomically designed, limited edition iron is lightweight, and comes with a matching pink travel case. With a side on-off switch and 360 degree swivel cord, this iron is incredibly easy to use on your own hair, or someone else’s. Ceramic plates and coils maintain an even temperature and produce negative ions to give you professional results every time. Traditional copper coils can dry hair and cause damage, but the ceramic heat helps ions penetrate deeply to seal the cuticle and repel humidity. As an added bonus, the CHI iron uses just 20-25 watts of electricity, so it saves energy while saving your hair.

Calm Out-of-Control and Out-Of-Condition Hair

Turn frizzy, flyaway hair smooth and sexy with LUSH Jasmine & Henna Fluff Eaze Hair Treatment ($20.45). Use this treatment to hydrate your hair, enhance color and improve shine. Olive and brazil nut oils deep condition hair to add back moisture and smooth the cuticle, which diminishes frizz. The addition of red henna infusion gives you reflective shine while adding subtle highlights to darker hair. Apply generously to dry hair, leaving on anywhere from twenty minutes to overnight, then rinse. Follow with your usual shampoo and conditioner. The smoky, floral scent of jasmine and ylang ylang has amazing lasting power, even becoming “reactivated” each time you wash! Use the treatment weekly (or less often, if you wash less), and even as a styling aid to add extra shine and scent.
