The List of My Favorite Hair Products

These are my most frequently used hair products and tools. Therefore, I recommend them for creating the hair styles in the below tutorial videos. You can opt for alternatives with similar functions (texturizing, volumizing, taming and so on), but I think many women will find life-changing products from the list of my current favorites:

Color Wow Dream Coat, for shine pre-blowout.

I love to spray this on wet hair before a blowout. I like to use this product if I want to achieve a sleek look in which I want my hair to appear glossy and shiny. This is great for those who have dull hair and want more of a shine to their hair.

Totalee Mist, for volume and texture pre-blowout.

This product is great for those who have slippery hair and won’t hold a curl. I spray this product in before the blowout, and it adds grit and texture to the hair, making the curls last a lot longer. This product is super lightweight, as well! It does not feel sticky at all.

Who doesn’t love a good texture spray? This is my holy grail. I use this after I curl my hair. I spray this throughout my hair, and it brings it to life. This spray adds volume and texture to give it more of a lived-in look than a regular polished look.

The Dry Bar Triple Sec, for texture and grit.

This is also a cheaper option for a texture spray, which I love as well. This one gives my hair texture and an airy feeling, making my curls look effortless.
