Favorite Hair Styling Products & Tools | Kerastase, Bumble And Bumble, Igk, Tresemme, Hot Tools

Hey guys welcome back to my channel for today's video, i'm gon na be sharing some of my favorite hair, styling products and tools with you guys. A lot of you have requested this. So that's what we're gon na do today. Here'S a little preview of the products and then i have quite a few different tools to share with you as well. So if you want to hear what all of my current favorites are for styling my hair, let's jump right into it before we talk products. I do already have a few different hair care videos up that may be of interest to you if you have not seen them already and they'll all be linked in my description box below. I have one talking through how i grew my hair, long and strong, and what i do to protect it from hard water damage. I have horrible hard water damage in my apartment. I also have a video talking through how i trained my hair from washing it once every single day to once a week, and then i have a video. That'S a little bit older that still went up this year. It'S not like crazy old, but that one is talking through my experience with lounge. So if you've been interested in that brand, i do have a review on multiple products from lounge, as well as some of my favorite shampoos conditioners and conditioning sprays. So if you're interested in those kinds of products slash those topics, all of those videos are going to be linked below. For you, this is just going to be dedicated to styling all right, let's start off by talking through some of my favorite blow-dry priming products. So i guess i'll give a quick little background on my hair. I have long hair and a lot of hair, but my individual hair strands are fine to normal, so i can't use products that are going to weigh it down, because my hair definitely lies pretty flat, especially if i let it air dry. It will just i mean it looks very limp and sad if i do that so volume is something that i definitely am trying to achieve. I also i'm just trying to make sure that i'm using products that are nourishing conditioning hydrating going to help to repair split ends any sort of damage from color or hard water, and then also give me heat protection as well. So again i only wash my hair once a week and i blow dry it once a week. I style it. I would say one to three times a week, depending on what i have going on and just how my hair is behaving. My hair does not hold a style very well, but these products have definitely helped me get into a better place with that. So i don't feel like. I have to redo my hair every single day. So first is a product. I have absolutely been loving for blow dry prep and it's from the brand carrot. This is their nectar. Thermique, their names are so funny. I don't know how to pronounce anything per usual. It'S their polishing, nourishing milk blow dry care for dry hair, and this is just i mean. I know this isn't like skincare, but i'll just show you guys the consistency. If you're curious it's just this really nice lightweight creamy, i would say lotion. It definitely doesn't have a balmy waxy consistency at all. It honestly feels so nice, like literally what the heck smells good too, but this is a product that is a blow dry primer, so you apply it to your wet hair before you blow dry it it's going to help to give you heat protection, help to prevent Breakage, it's really really nice at helping to soften my hair, so it just looks and feels softer and shinier makes it more manageable, and it also is going to help to nourish and condition your hair strands as well, which i could always use more of, especially before We'Re going to go in and use some sort of heat product, so i've been obsessed with this, it's so nice. It doesn't weigh my hair down at all, and even though it has that lotiony consistency, there's nothing sticky about it at all. It just feels so good in my hair, and just i think makes my hair look so nice when i use it. So that is my first favorite. I would highly recommend that one okay and i have been loving using that in combination with this other product from kerastase. This is called their lin creable blow dry. Oh my gosh lincreable. I think it's their miracle reshapable heat lotion. So this is a little bit of a different product from this one. This really is just a blow-dry primer. This one is also going to give you heat protection, but also the purpose of this is to help to make restyling easier. So if you're, somebody like me that has hair that just does not hold style for multiple days in a row and you have to throw in a few extra curls. This is something that helps to make that process easier. So i don't really fully understand the technology behind that, but that's what it's for so this one is a little bit different. It'S definitely a lighter weight, a little bit more gel like it's got that like shine to it yeah gosh and feels so nice as well. I mean both of them feel extremely soft. They feel hydrating they're, not sticky. I just i freaking love this combination, you guys i swear by this combo for a blowout. I mean you definitely don't need both, but i personally love both in my routine. I rely on both for heat protection, this one a little bit more for nourishment and conditioning my hair and then this one, because i know that i'm probably going to have to throw in a couple curls later or do a little bit of restyling. So i think it's great for that, even if you don't need to restyle your hair throughout the week. I still think this is a really really good blow-dry primer, but i don't know what it is about. The two of these together, it's like magic, so i would highly recommend both. I know that they're not the most affordable i apologize for that. I definitely prefer to review affordable products when i can, because i prefer to use affordable products when i can, but these are so worth it i mean i definitely have a few products here that are not super inexpensive, but for me, hair care is something i'm willing To spend a little bit more on, because i only wash my hair once a week, i only style it one to maybe three times a week, so products like this last a lot longer for me than they would if i was washing it and styling it. Every single day totally worth it, but i know that they're not the most affordable. I'Ve been testing so many hair care products behind the scenes, and i just seem to have a harder time: finding affordable, hair care products that work amazingly for me and the same way that these do so. This is not going to be my last hair care product. Video, i will definitely share more and when i find things that are affordable and amazing, i will share them with you. I have a couple that i'll be sharing that are very inexpensive, but you guys know. I don't talk about things unless i'm obsessed, or i would tell you that i'm not obsessed so in my book, they're worth it one more blow dry primer that i have really been enjoying is from bumble and bumble and it's the hairdresser's, invisible oil heat uv, protective Primer, so again, something that's going to give you heat protection as well as helping to condition the hair this one's supposed to be great. If you have frizzy hair and helping to manage frizz, i don't get super frizzy hair. If it's really hot and humid, i will a little bit, but in general that's not a huge concern for me, but this also is supposed to help to tame flyaways and just i mean kind of same claims as you're getting here a little bit different, but same Type of product, this one, of course, is just a spray, so if you would prefer to just spray your blow dry primer, all over your hair, instead of rubbing it in like a leave-in product, then this one will be the one for you. I think you can't really go wrong between the two. If i had to choose, i think right now i would choose this one, but i've also been using this for a lot longer, so i feel, like i'm a little bit biased, i think they're both great options. Just depends on your preference for a type of product and then one more product that i have really been loving from bumble and bumble. Is their thickening go big treatment? This is a volumizing concentrate that claims to keep your hair up for hours. This has again the same kinds of claims as those first couple. Products helps to provide heat protection, maintain frizz and fly aways, make your hair softer and more manageable, but i personally just use this for the volumizing aspect, because again i cannot get that so much on my own, so i just will spray this all over my hair. Before i blow dry or if i'm going to curl on a separate day from blow drying, i will spray this on my hair beforehand. I do have it in my hair today, in combination with, i believe i have this and i use this to blow dry. I kind of have everything going on right now, but you definitely don't need to buy something else for heat protection and conditioning if you're also looking to volumize your hair. This definitely could work on its own. I just personally love the way that my hair looks and feels when i use those other products with this as well. So great one love. This really does give me volume, and i like that. I can spray that on my actual hair strands, because i can easily get volume at my roots if i just blow dry my hair upside down, but this part of my hair is where i feel like. I need the extra attention, especially if it's straight and if i'm blow drying it because it will just i don't know, especially when it's longer i feel like it, can just start to look a little stringy. You know so this one definitely helps me out with that. All right now, let's talk about a product that i have been obsessed with for helping my hair to hold a curl. So i don't know what the heck happened to me. You guys my hair used to hold a curl for days no problem. I hardly had to use hairspray, i didn't use any sort of blow-dry primer or curl holding product at all. I just curled my hair, tiny bit of hairspray lasted for days as i've gotten older. My hair has totally changed and it does not hold a curl anymore unless i take extra measures to make sure that it does, and i realized i got to a point where i was having to re-curl my hair before i left for the night like if i Was going out with friends, i would curl my hair, get ready and then be like. Oh my gosh, my curls have already fallen need to re-curl and who wants to curl their hair twice in one night. No one wants that much heat damage. No one has time for that, so i started to look for products that i could spray on my hair to just help. The curl hold that weren't going to be too sticky weren't going to weigh my hair down. I can't have those things either and i found one that is super affordable that i am obsessed with and it's the tresemme heat tamer leave-in spray. So this one is also a heat protectant but, like i said, i'm already getting heat protection from those other products. So the reason i've been reaching for this over and over is because i have found that it really really helps my hair to hold a curl way more so than my hair would. If i was not using this, so what i will do is spray this all over my hair right before i'm about to curl it, and i love to combine it with this thickening spray. These two together are great. It'S actually what i have going on in my hair right now. Okay, basically, i have everything in my not necessary, but i just really like to use what i have so i have both of those in my hair right now and then i just go ahead and curl my hair and at first it does make your curls look. A little bit more wet almost and maybe like they're a little bit sticky, but once you finger comb, your hair give it a little judge that kind of sticky, shiny appearance it goes away, and then it doesn't leave a sticky residue on my hair at least afterwards, And then my curls will just hold for much longer than they normally would so i am really in love with this. I have been trying out a lot of other products that are similar to this and designed to help your hair to hold a style for longer, and this is by far the best one that i have tried so far which shocked me because it's so affordable. So that's amazing. I love this one. I would definitely recommend it if you're somebody that has hair like me, that does not hold a curl for the life of it all right now. Let'S talk about my favorite hairspray, so this is one that i've had for a while, but i refused to accept the fact that i loved it for the longest time, because i was the type of person that just would not spend more than seven eight dollars on A hairspray i was like it's not necessary, no way, it's just one of those categories where i don't need to spend extra money, but for me i just could not find a hairspray for the life of me that actually made my hair hold a curl for a Long time so annoying oh, my gosh, i've tried so many different hairsprays. So if any of you have a super affordable hairspray that actually helps your hair to hold a curl and you have hair that doesn't hold curls easily comment below. Let'S share the love, let us know, but this one is so good and it's my current favorite. I finally accepted the fact that it is amazing. It'S the igk1800 hold me no crunch, flexible, hold hairspray, so this one i love, because not only does it actually help my hair to hold a curl, but it truly is flexible. I cannot stand a hairspray, that's really just uh. You know those hair sprays that just make your hair hard and, like you can't comb through them, they're crunchy. I hate that feeling like. I want my hair to hold a curl, but i want it to still feel like hair, and i want to be able to run my fingers through it. Not have them get stuck halfway down, so this hairspray is amazing at that. It'S worked so well for me, especially in combination with this. I feel, like my hair, is not budging for the day overnight's a different story, but it's worth the money for me and again, i'm not curling, my hair. That often so this has lasted me a long time, also because i've been testing out other hair sprays, but none of them i have enjoyed as much as that one and the scent of that one is nice too a lot of hairsprays smell kind of alcoholy. Do you know what i'm talking about, and i really don't like that that just kind of has a nice fresher scent, but it's not too much, because i also don't like really potent hair products as far as the scent goes. So i would definitely recommend that one and finally my favorite dry shampoo right now, so i actually did review quite a few different dry shampoos in my hair training video. So if you want to hear my thoughts on some of the more popular drugstore dry shampoos go check out that video. But i told you guys then that my current favorite is the tresemme between washes. Volumizing dry shampoo again super affordable. So i really wasn't expecting much, but i'm obsessed with this, and i also have dry shampoos that are a little bit pricier. I reach for this one over all of those, it's so good. So when it comes to a dry shampoo, i'm very particular about them. I'Ve tried really so many so i feel like i know my exact preferences when it comes to a dry shampoo. I want something, obviously that's going to control my oils without leaving a gross white cast without weighing down my hair and making just my scalp feel clogged. We'Ve all used a dry shampoo that makes our scalp feel clogged it's gross and while we are spraying dry shampoo on top of sweat, a lot of the times which is gross but true, i don't want to feel like. I have sweat trapped on my scalp and i have used a lot of dry shampoos that make me feel like. I just have sweat sitting there and it's ugh. I don't like it that makes my hair feel so dirty. No, no! No! So this one is amazing, because not only does it control my oils, but it does everything i just talked about: it's lightweight, it doesn't weigh down my hair, my hair doesn't feel gross and dirty. I also really don't like dry shampoos that leave excessive powdery residue. This does not do that. I can rub my fingers through it and it doesn't feel gross like. I have full of baby powder in my hair, and also this does have a nice light fresh scent as well. That does not linger throughout the day. I found that dry shampoos that have scents that linger all day end up giving me a headache. I just don't really like it, and this doesn't do that. So, while it smells nice upon application, i don't smell it on my hair throughout the rest of the day. So love this: what the heck so affordable, so good! Okay, so that's it for my actual favorite leave-in products. Now, let's talk about some of my favorite tools, so the first is my trusty blow dryer that i always want to call the bio iconic blow dryer. No! No bio ionic is the name of this, and it it i mean it is iconic. It'S amazing. It cuts my blow dry time, literally in half no exaggeration, it's so good. It has so much power to it and it just actually comes with this as an attachment. What the heck are, these things called, i don't even know, comes with a couple of these, so you don't have to use it. That'S just what it looks like without also how beautiful is this full black? I just love, and i prefer to use it with it on because it has so much power without that i feel like my hair dries too quickly before i have a chance to kind of style it while i'm drying it. So if you have finer hair strands like me, i would recommend using this on the end. If not, you could totally use without. If you have super thick hair and i swear it will make your drying process so much better. Nobody wants to sit and blow dry their hair for 30 40 minutes. That is ridiculous. So this is amazing. Again it's not the most affordable. I think it's totally worth it up to you. If this is just totally not even an option for you, i did used to use a conair blow dryer that i also loved. I will link that below. In my opinion, that's the best, affordable blow dryer that i've ever used. That one is so good. This one's definitely better, which you would hope, because it's pricier, so you want it to be worth the price, but that conair one is a really good, affordable option if this one's not in the budget again up to you and what you're willing to spend. I do love this and when i'm blow drying my hair, i have a couple different brushes that i will use so the first i will show you is, if i'm feeling extra adventurous, which is hardly ever and that's this round brush from kristen s, i have tried A lot of different round brushes - and this is my favorite currently because it's the gentlest on my hair, so the issue that i was having with round brushes a lot of the ones that have those wire, bristles or the metal bristles, is that i felt like they Were tangling and ripping my hair and just really difficult to well, i'm not gon na. Do it now, but brush through without ripping and tangling like you can just get a full. You know i'm talking about a continuous brush through without it getting stuck and tangled. So this one's super good and it's not crazy, expensive. Again it's from kristen s. I don't even know what i would call these bristles they're plastic. I think well, would that fully melt underneath heat? Maybe i don't know exactly what these bristles are, but they're definitely gentler than some of those other round brushes out there, and i also really like the size of this. It'S a good medium size, not too big, but not too small to where you're gon na get you know really tiny little flips to your hair. So how i like to use this with a blow. Dryer is again with that little attachment on the end, and then i will round brush towards my face. You know what i mean so not away i round brush towards my face so that i get that little flip coming inwards. Does that make sense? I hope. So. That'S a really good round brush that i enjoy and then, when i am not round brushing, which is 99 of the time, i will use this brush while i blow dry, this is a vented brush that i'm obsessed with because look it has a little. Can you see that? Oh sorry, that's so gross, i just hate hair. It has a little curve to it. So you can do that same kind of thing that i was just talking about curve inwards. So you get that little flip without using a round brush. It'S obviously not going to be the same styling effect as a round brush, but it's better than a brush. That'S just completely flat that you're not going to be able to get any flip with. So this is vented, which is great because you can use it while you're blow drying and you're not going to fry up your hair, and i also love this because the actual brush strands are a mix of plastic and then that kind of. What'S that called that, like boar bristle kind of situation, that's on the wet brush pro that i've talked about a lot that i'm also obsessed with which just makes for a softer brush through situation. Because again i cannot deal with the tangling and the snarling and ripping out my hair. So i got this from amazon super inexpensive. It came in a pack of two, so a black one and a white one with a gray handle and the handle has this nice little grippy thing on it, so it doesn't hurt when you hold it, because that also drives me nuts. Just such a good blow-dry brush, oh my gosh love and then the thing that changed the game. For me as far as styling and round brushing goes, is this revlon one step hairstyler? Thank god. For this thing i just round brushing is so hard for me. It takes me so effing long. I would love to get my hair blow dried every time that i washed it. Wouldn'T that be amazing just be able to get a blowout every time you wash your hair. Unfortunately, i don't have that kind of money, so not an option and honestly sometimes it takes me a full hour to round brush my full head of hair, just because i have so much hair. Oh my gosh. So this has helped me so so much because it's a blow dryer and brush in one. So i actually do have a first impression review on this, where i used it for the first time on camera, and since then i have learned that that's not the way that i like to use it. I don't like to use this when my hair is completely wet because it definitely is kind of tangly, especially if your hair is longer, and it's just a lot harder to use in my opinion in that way. So what i will do is let my hair air dry, like 80 of the way 70 80 around there. Then i will go in with my blow dryer and flip my hair upside down blow dry at the roots, so that i'm getting that lift and then just make sure that my hair is not too damp. Because again, it just is kind of difficult for me to use this when it's really wet, then, when i have like 90 of the way left, i will section off my hair and style it with this and really again just curve inwards towards my face so that My hair has that nice little flip to it. So not only does it help to give my hair that flip, but it helps to just kind of straighten the top part of my strains as well and make them look sleeker, and it just makes for a much more put together blow-dry than if i were to Just throw my hair around and blow-dry with that bio-ionic. So that's an amazing blow dryer, but i just get really messy with it and get lazy and don't want to mess with a brush. So if you're, a lazy girl like me when it comes to styling your hair, this is going to be your best friend. Love love love. Originally, i wanted to start using this to use less heat on my hair, but at the end of the day, it doesn't reduce the amount of heat that i'm using on my hair at all and if anything, it actually ends up increasing it, because if i curl My hair, i'm only blow drying it once curling, it once maybe twice and then that's it for the week. If i use this - and i want to maintain that blow-dried look, i personally have to reuse it every single day to keep my hair looking nice and flippy because it just does not hold up overnight. It gets kinked, that's just story of my life with fine hair. So the good thing is that this does work great for me as a restyler, and what i will actually do is use some of these same exact products on my dry hair to make sure that i'm adding heat protection again thickening spray. If i need it and then i will go ahead and use this to restyle, so i don't put this on dry hair. First of all, because there's no heat protection there, but also it just, doesn't work as well when your hair is already dry. It'S a lot harder to style, so i will re-wet it not soaking, wet but just kind of damp and then make sure i'm getting that heat protection. And then i can go ahead and reuse this and it will refresh my style for that next day. So really love this thing. It would definitely recommend it. I know that there are some pricier versions out there from dyson and dry bar, and this works great. In my opinion, there's no need, but then again i haven't tried those so who knows, and last but certainly not least, is my favorite curling iron, which is the hot tools gold-plated curling iron, and this one is one and one-fourths inches, so anything smaller than that just Ends up giving me too tight of curls. This is the size curl that i really prefer on myself. So that's super easy to achieve with this size barrel, and specifically, the gold plating makes a really big difference for me and how long my hair holds a curl. I tried other hot tools: curling irons, their black plated, one, i think one more and it just doesn't work as well on my hair, so while those might be less damaging, it ends up canceling out in my opinion anyway, because i would have to re-curl my hair With those - and i don't with this, so i love this thing - it gets really hot. It goes from 280 degrees to 430 holy crap, but it's just so good. Oh, i freaking love this. If you guys want to see an updated tutorial on how i curl my hair, definitely let me know, because i have totally changed the way that i curl my hair since my last hair curling tutorial. I didn't even really love the way that that one looked, but some of you guys are requesting to see it. It took me a while to figure out my right kind of curl, and here it is so if you want to see an update on how i curl my hair. Maybe i could do a two in one with how i do that and how i use that revlon one step styler. Those are essentially the only two ways that i style my hair. So let me know in the comments, if you want me to do that, i definitely can. But this thing is so good. I really recommend it and that's it. So those are all my favorite hair, styling products of the moment.
