As any woman knows finding good hair care products is a must. This is a difficult task when you consider the sea of hair care products that we are confronted with on a daily basis. They are everywhere, TV, magazines and supermarkets, each of them promising perfect, shiny, smooth, beautiful hair. But as women progress through their teens and into adulthood they can become disillusioned with many products. Here you will find a number of popular and good hair care products that you will want to try out if you haven’t already. They are all under $20.
Pantene Hair Care Products
This is one of the biggest brands in the shampoo and conditioner markets. It is not one of the most expensive hair care products on the shelves but time and time again it has proven to be one of the best. Pantene products vary greatly which means that they suit many hair types. There are Pantene hair care products for fine hair, curly hair, coloured hair, blonde hair, brown hair, dry hair, oily hair and even two in one shampoo/conditioners. They also offer a number of hair styling products including gels, mousses and sprays. Each of varying degrees of strength and designed for different purposes. Pantene hair care products can be found in almost any supermarket or pharmacy and for reasonable prices, most costing around $5 and nothing over $20.
Alba Hawaiian Hair Care Products
These are wonderful hair care products that are suitable for many hair types. They are perfect for those looking for something that does not use harsh chemicals, as only natural organic ingredients are used. Alba also has a no testing on animals policy, they will not test any of their products on animals, have it done by a third party or even purchase their product ingredients from a company that carries out animal testing. Users have found that the shampoos and conditioners by Alba have left their hair soft, shiny and smooth, without weighing it down. Even those with very fine hair love these hair care products. Alba hair care products are not only one of the best overall hair care lines; they would also be found in a list of top natural hair care products. The average cost for Alba hair care products is around $10. You can find Alba hair care products at many independent natural product suppliers along with well know chain stores such as Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe’s and Mrs Greens.
Clairol Herbal Essences Hair Care Products
Clairol Herbal Essences is another line of hair care products that are right up at the top of the list with Pantene. They can be found in just about every supermarket and pharmacy and the cost doesn’t break the bank. The shampoos leave your hair clean and light while the conditioners help make your hair soft and silky. They smell nice too! A bottle of shampoo will cost you around $4 making it cheaper than Pantene, but it works just as well. The hair care line has a good variety that should offer something for everyone. You can choose from difference scents to suit your preference and from products that help add volume or shine to your hair. They even have a hair freshener. This lovely product is great if you are short on time and can’t wash your hair but still want it to smell fresh and flowery. Just a few squirts of the Clairol’s Style Refreshing Mist and no one will know that you haven’t washed your hair since early that morning. The only hair care product that the Clairol Herbal Essences line falls short on is its dandruff shampoo. It doesn’t do much to get rid of those horrible flakes and itchy scalp.
A sturdy, plastic large tooth comb
This is something that every woman should have amongst her hair care supplies. In fact every time your hair is wet you should use a plastic large tooth comb and not a brush to detangle it. When your hair is wet it is quite fragile and a brush will pull and stretch making it more vulnerable to breaking and causing those nasty split ends and annoying frizzy locks. This is probably one of the least expensive hair care products you can buy. Your comb does not need to be fancy or have a trendy brand name, it just has to be wide toothed, plastic and comfortable for you to use. The best way to use a comb on your hair is to start at the ends. Grab your hair into a small or large bunch just above the roots and slowly comb out from the ends up. By grabbing your hair just above the roots you will prevent and damage to the roots of your hair and also prevent any pain caused by the comb getting stuck in a tangle. Wide tooth combs come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours and you can pick one up at your local CVS or supermarket for as little as $1. This is one hair care product you can’t do without.
The right hairbrush
Using the right hairbrush and one that is of good quality is essential to proper hair care. Each hairbrush is designed with a specific styling purpose so you may need a couple of different types included in your hair care arsenal. The most common styles are a paddle brushes, round brushes, and sculpting brushes. Paddle brushes are ideal for long hair and they help to create flat, shiny and smooth effects. Round brushes come in a variety of sizes. Round brushes containing metal or ceramic are excellent for styling your hair while blow-drying it. The metal or ceramic material will heat up while you are blow-drying, shaping your hair into lovely curls if you are using a small brush and helping to add volume and smooth out your hair if you are using a large version. Sculpting brushes are best used on short hair. If you want to add some volume to a short hair cut these brushes are perfect. The best hairbrushes will contain boar bristles. These can range in price, some being very expensive. But you can find plenty of choice at prices suited to average people. The Christophe range of hairbrushes is definitely a good choice. The round brushes are particularly good. They come in three sizes, have nylon and boar bristles and have a ceramic base, which is great for smooth hair and shorter drying times. These brushes can be found for under $20 at CVS. If you are looking for a boar bristle paddle brush keep you eye out for the Fuchs line of hairbrushes. You can get a good quality Fuchs brush for around $10.
