LULU and LATTE’S TOP HAIR PRODUCTS AND TOOLS 2016

I was not blessed with perfectly straight or naturally gorgeous curls. If I let my hair dry naturally, I pretty much am a spitting image of Janis Joplin. A consistent argument in my house is the amount of blowouts I get a week and why I have to spend so much g-d damn money on my hair. Well if I was fortunate enough to have Gwyneth’s straight hair or Julia Robert’s magnificent curls, I would not be sitting in Troy’s chair twice a week. Part of the problem, truthfully, is I just can’t seem to do my hair. With 7 million products on the market, how does one know what works and what doesn’t? While no product is perfect, after experimenting with a ton, asking professionals and calling friends, I have come up with a list of hair products that really seem to do the trick. Don’t hold me to it, I am still a big fan of the blowout, but if you are willing to try – here are some amazing serums, hair tools, and even a dry shampoo that may change your hair life forever!

HAIR SERUM

Let’s start with frizz. It seems to be the biggest issue for most people I know.

This serum is the BOMB!!! I had to add it first because I can’t believe how great it works. A little goes a LONG LONG WAY. You will be amazed, I was.

MATRIX OIL WONDERS

CURLY HAIR

If you have curly hair but don’t know how to get the curls to look like this:

GET THIS:

I always wondered how to achieve that look – here’s the ANSWER:
DEVACURL STYLING CREAM
(all of their products for curly hair are FANTASTIC – LIKE BEST ON THE MARKET!!!!!!!!!!)

HAIR DRYER

If you ask 10 people, you most likely get 5 different answers but after extensive research and a lot of money later, HARRY JOSH PRO TOOLS (imo) is the best dryer on the market. No questions asked.It cuts your drying time in half and leaves you with silky, smooth hair! The price tag is heavy, $300, but I have to say, worth it.

HARRY JOSH TOOLS $300 -If you buy at the Dermstore, you can get a nice discount!

The runner up is the SEDU REVOLUTION

AMAZON

CURLY HAIR DYER? This will become your new best friend!!!!

As my close friend says, “I sit under this, play candy crush and ignore everyone.” Sounds like a great way to dry your hair plus she has the most gorgeous curls I have ever seen!!! She even named it, she loves it so much!
BABYBLISS PRO IONIC ROLLABOUT HARD HAT DRYER

Can’t commit to sitting? – DEVA BLOW DRYER with DIFFUSER comes pretty close!

TRAVEL DRYER

If you are traveling or a frequent traveler, you MUST buy this hair dyer. You will laugh when you see it because it is super tiny BUT it works like a charm.

BABYBLISS TT TOURMALINE TITANIIUM TRAVEL DRYER CURLING IRON

THE 3 -DAY BENDER is that hair tool you cannot live without (or at least I can’t). I had no idea how to use a curling iron until I bought this beauty. It takes all the guess work out PLUS it leaves your hair with THAT curl. It is my true travel companion.
THE 3 DAY BENDER $135

FLAT IRON

I had the croc and then I found the Bio Ionic. Bye Bye croc, Hello Bi Ionic. World of difference.
BIO IONIC

DRY SHAMPOO

Ah this was a HUGE TOSS UP! I had a hard time with this because there are TERRIBLE ones and I mean horrific (Oscar cough cough not “Brunettie but _ _ _ _ _ _ IE” ) But then there are two very special ones. Go to Sephora and buy the sample sizes of both before you purchase the full size.

NIRVANA by Elizabeth & James $28(it smells amazing) and LIVING PROOF

BRUSH

The all around best brush on the market is the Mason Pearson Handy Mixture Brush. Yes, I know it’s $150 (yikes) but if you want beautiful hair, you have to pay a pretty penny.
MASON PEARSON HANDY MIXTURE BRUSH
