Hey beauties! I have for you today products I love for my hair. Pretty much, this is my way of sharing my hair care routine with you. In the past, I never worried about my hair. Never did I spend money on my haircare. I used whichever shampoo and conditioner my mom purchased that week and sometimes I'd use a bit of hairspray. Watch out, I was wild! After dying my hair a couple times, I'd notice my hair was so dry, frizzy and dead looking. I made it my mission to find some products that worked for my hair type to maximize my hair's potential. After much research, I came to a conclusion that I had to invest some money into sulfate-free shampoo, something for my split ends and something to protect my damaged hair.
I have found many products that I am now in love with. Let's start with shampoo & conditioner. 
TIGI Bedhead Epic Volume Sulfate-free Shampoo & Conditioner
I will be the first to admit that this stuff isn't cheap. I had to put my big girl panties on and just invest in a good product. It smells absolutely amazing, and the shampoo is still lasting me seeing as I only wash my hair about 3 times a week. I purchased the conditioner because there was a deal but in the future I would only buy the shampoo seeing as it can add up quickly. Conditioners are easier to find for the cheap seeing as they don't contain sulfate. 
HAIR OILS 
Organix Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum & Macadamia Natural Oil Healing Oil Treatment
I originally had the Macadamia Oil because I purchased a complete set that Macadamia had for sale which was cheaper than just buying the one thing I wanted. This oil is meant to be used after styling your hair to make it seem soft and frizz-free without being greasy. I'll admit, I hate the feeling oil leaves in your hands but if its going to give me nice hair, I'll take it. This product is expensive and is raved about. I bought the Organix Serum on a whim, it was 6.99 and I wanted to compare it to see if in the future, I would be able to save some money. I love this serum. I like to put it in my hair when I initially get out of the shower and it makes my hair seem so soft and frizz-free. 
REDKEN EXTREME ANTI-SNAP 
I saw this product roaming around the tumblr universe and I was super duper excited to try this out. Now here is my problem, I hate getting haircuts. Okay, scratch that, I hate GOING to get my hair cut. Once I'm there, I'm a happy camper but i just want my hair to grow instead of being shorter. But if I can reduce the amount of split ends, I don't need to get it cut as often. This product works wonders. It's also a product that my wallet hates to see but pretty hair, don't care...right?
BATISSE DRY SHAMPOO
I have not tried many dry shampoos. I have a powder dry shampoo by Cake which is essentially a baby powder but its brown and it smells like chocolate. Its a good product, but it can be messy. Batisse dry shampoo is cheap, efficient and that's all that really matters. I've heard good things of other products but why spend more money if this is good?
MACADAMIA NATURAL OIL DEEP REPAIR MASQUE
If you follow any beauty gurus on youtube, this is the most holy grail hair product that is being shown. I must admit, I've always been a fan. It is very pricey, but you only use it once a week therefore it lasts a good amount of time. You apply it to your hair, more-so on the lower half of your hair and you let it sit for 5-10 minutes, more if you can. Once you rinse it out, your hair will feel so healthy it's honestly amazing. It's important not to use it too often seeing as some of the ingredients could potentially damage your hair in the long run.
TRESEMME THERMAL CARE
This is also a raved about product. It is super important to use a heat protectant before you use heat on your hair (blowdrying, straightening, curling...). Now it's hard to know how amazing a product like this really works on your hair seeing as you can't really tell how great it is until you see if your hair is damaged or not. I think most people prefer this one because it smells nice, it has a spray nozzle which is amazing and its just easy to use. Its also very cheap, so BONUS.
CHI KERATIN MIST LEAVE-IN
I purchased this on a whim because I saw that it was a Keratin mist and the Chi brand is pretty well established. It states that this product is a leave-in mist that you spray into your hair to provide strength, protection and softness while leaving it shiny & silky. It actually smells pretty good and I love adding this as a step in my routine.
