When I was little, I had long, thick hair ... and I hated it. Now that I have thin, brittle, dry hair, I wish I could go back in time and retrieve my thick mane! I should have appreciated what I had back then. :)
- Coconut Milk smells amazing. It is an anti-breakage serum and it makes for soft (yet a little oily) hair. I mostly rub it onto my ends and let it soak in while I sleep. I bought it at Walgreens where I purchase most of my hair and skin products. I apply it on damp hair.
- Aussie Mousse. Recently I had my hair styled and the stylist told me to apply mousse to my roots for extra thickness. So that is exactly what I am doing now. It seems to be working, I suppose. I don't expect miracles, however. Not at the rate I am losing my hair. I have tried many shampoos and their promises lack the initiation. *sad*
- Turn Up The Heat! I bought this a year ago and spritz it on my hair (wet or dry) before straightening or curling or even blow-drying it sometimes. It smells amazing.
- I have been using Fructis shampoo for many years. It gives my hair strength and shine. (The commercials didn't lie about this one. They sure have the ingredients for it.) I switch shampoos often, but I always go back to this one eventually. I will keep you updated on the next shampoo I use, but Fructis is definitely one I rely on for shine and strength. Someone once told me to use Johnson's baby shampoo to prevent hair loss, and when I tried to comb my hair, I lost an additional 20% of my hair.... That was the first and last time I used it.
- Luxurious Volume Conditioner by John Frieda is a hair product I randomly picked up at Walgreens the other day. I came to work early and since my boss didn't open the office yet, I wandered next door to "see what they had, with a promise not to buy anything" and I ended up purchasing this conditioner with the hopes that it will thicken my hair a bit like the label stated. So far, I like it. It was about $6.99 or something relatively close. For me, it was a bit pricey, but I use it faithfully each time I wash my hair.
- Last but not least, a Sally Beauty Supply I picked up a few years back. I LOVE their Silk Elements shampoo, though. It's a leave-in conditioner, but the reason I don't rave about this one is primarily because I don't like the smell of it. It isn't too bad, but if it doesn't smell good, I won't continue to use it. Simple as that. Same goes for lotion, too. :)
