Something I get asked more often than I’d ever expect is what products do you use in your hair?  I used to have some serious hair envy going on growing up.  My high school best friend had amazing hair.  And I was always the girl that chopped her hair to chin length when it’d finally grow down to her shoulders because I’d crave change.  What can I say.

But ever since I was traumatized with a bad haircut just after J and I got married, I’ve had long hair.  And y’all.  I’ve struggled.  I have naturally wavy/curly/unruly hair.  It’s fine in texture but I have a lot of it.  And if you don’t believe me, let me invite you over when I clean out the shower drain with a hanger (because who ever remembers to buy a drain snake?) once a month.  ew gross.  My hair was dull, frizzy, and just generally not cute.

I’ve dropped too many dollar bills on fancy, expensive products that really didn’t do much for me except make me broke.  Several years ago, my Aunt sent me samples of a Garnier Fructis product she’d been loving. I was hesitant to try it because in the past their products would weigh my hair down and left it greasy at the roots.  

But the Garnier Fructis Hydro Recharge is the only shampoo and conditioner I consistently go back to.  It leaves my hair weightlessly clean, voluminous, and silky soft.  It also helps me extend the time between washes.  Plus, it’s stinking cheap and easy to find.

Most of the time I just wash my hair at night, rub in some of the leave in cream, and go to bed with wet hair (don’t judge me).  But if I’m actually styling my hair, I’ll spray in some thickening treatments and a layer of heat protectant for good measure.

Bada bing.  Bada boom.  Hair secrets revealed!
