The 10 Most Underrated Hair Products and Tools

For a selected few, good hair is a lottery win from the gene pool. For the rest of us, it’s a matter of getting the right styling items.

You might’ve heard of some of these and dismissed them as something only the “pros” use, but these could very quickly up your hairstyling game.

No matter your hair type, some frizz is inevitable from pillow static, colour damage, or just the humidity.  To finish off a carefully blowdry, curled strands, or just on air-dried hair, rub some anti-frizz serum between your palms and smooth it over your hair for a sleek finish.

Straight hair girls, you know how you attempt to braid your hair but your strands refuse to cooperate and slip through your fingers? Styling creams give your hair enough texture and tackiness so you can braid, twist, and style with ease.

Bleached hair turns yellow and brassy after a few weeks. Purple or silver shampoos (sometimes called blonde shampoo) tones the hair to give it a cooler tinge, thereby removing the yellowness in your strands. Most of these shampoos do triple duty, in that they cleanse, tone, and added functions like hydrating or repairing. Win-win-win!

It’s so important to protect your hair before you apply heat. Hair salons set a bad example by taking extremely hot tools to your freshly coloured or chemically treated hair. Before blowdrying, straightening, or curling, make sure to spritz a good amount of heat protectant to insulate your strands.

Try the Greenology Organics Thermal Protection Spray available at K Care Shop outlets.

Ditch cream conditioners for the straight up nutritious argan oil. Just a few drops will nourish and repaid your locks. Since you don’t use much per application, most of these come in petite bottles that are perfect travel companions.
