Sometimes I get compliments on my hair. Most of the time, it’s because I’ve just washed it that day. No joke.

I mean, I’ve gotten into this [glorious] habit of washing my hair only about twice per week. SOMETIMES I’ll wash it three times, but only in an emergency, like a really sweaty workout or Justin Timberlake’s in town and I need to look 100% my best on the off chance I might run into him at Target (what! It could happen…)

Anyway, there are a few products I use on every wash-day, without fail, that I believe are the basis for every one of my good hair days:

MOROCCAN OIL

As soon as I get out of the shower, I towel dry my hair and then I put three pumps of this “liquid gold” in my wet hair, combing it all the way through.

This stuff is incredible. Moroccan oil is pure argan oil that moisturizes your hair and leaves it shiny and refreshed; not to mention it smells INCREDIBLE.

I use several Moroccan oil products, but I use this one without fail, every single time I wash my hair.

If you’re going to use this product, I wouldn’t suggest looking for a knock off or generic brand you find in the grocery store. I’ve tried those and they don’t work a fraction as well as Moroccan oil!

You can find it at your local hair stylist or on Amazon.

AVEDA’S PHOMOLLIENT

Phomollient is a light styling foam, sort of like mousse. I like it because it’s really light, it does a great job keeping my hair in place, and it doesn’t make my hair feel “heavy,” like regular mousse.

Just rub a little bit into wet hair (after the Moroccan oil) and then blow dry. It’s also been said that Phomollient helps reduce drying time, too!

You can purchase Phomollient anywhere Aveda products are sold. I also found it on Amazon here!

STRAIGHTENER

So, here’s the deal. I usually blow dry my hair, but even if I knew I wasn’t going to have a blow dryer, I’d keep this baby close by. A good straightener can push any hair into shape. I use the Hot Shot Tools one inch flat iron (I don’t like to call them flat irons because, I dunno…flat irons is the name of a mountain range here in Colorado, and it just gets weird and confusing). I couldn’t find my specific model online, but I know I purchased this at Sally Beauty Supply.

What I love about this straightener (okay, okay, FLAT IRON) is that it has adjustable heat. I usually look for my styling tools to reach 450 max. Depending on the look I’m going for, I set the temp on mine at either 400 or all the way up to 450, but I would definitely recommend lower temperatures if you have fine hair. And ALWAYS use a heat protectant!

Look for more hair tips and tutorials (especially with the FLAT IRON), coming soon!
