My Current Favorite Hair Products

Similar to last week’s post, I wanted to give an updated favorite hair products post! These current favorites are some of my go to products in really transforming my hair. When I started my blog almost 4 years ago now, I had bright blonde hair. Because of the pandemic, I went back to my roots, literally, and started the journey of getting my hair healthy again.

This past year I’ve truly seen the most growth with my hair and owe it to these products that are so great at maintaining my hair health. Not to mention, also getting a trim every few weeks has done wonders for my hair. As always these are affiliate links and I make a small commission if you choose to purchase these products!

I was so excited when I saw this set because you need to try it! All of the products mentioned are literally a crucial step in my hair care routine. This shampoo and conditioner actually smoothes your hair and gives it the nicest shine. It totally lives up to the name and was a better alternative to Olaplex for me. I love the Drybar and this line became an instant staple in my routine. Not to mention, I think it’s been hydrating my hair so well that it’s helping ti grow long and strong.

Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Spray

I do still love my It’s a 10 but I have to say I love this more! I spray this on my wet hair and it detangles and leaves it feeling so soft. Not to mention, it has a built in heat protectant so I feel like it’s really taking care of my hair. The lightness of the product works so well for my very thin and fine hair. I never feel like it’s weighed down because it’s just super light.

Drybar 100 Proof Oil

This is my OG tried and true. I cannot say enough great things about this oil and I’m getting concerned it’s being discontinued because I can’t always find it. This is truly the only oil that my hair can handle that doesn’t make it feel super oily or heavy. I love the shine this gives and it truly helps smooth the fly aways.

As you can see, these favorite hair products are really focusing on smoothing and shinning my hair. Now that I’m not blonde, I really just want to make sure my hair is healthy. I also want it to have a nice shine to really give it some dimension! If you liked this post, you can read more hair care posts here!

Shampoo Brands I Love

I haven’t done a dedicated post to hair care in so long. I think my last post was over the summer about my June Favorites. This post today is dedicated to the shampoo brands I love and can’t live without. One huge part of my hair care journey was finding shampoo that works for me. Buying shampoo brands may seem simple but with so many on the market, it’s important to find one that does what you need.

Here are my top 3 current favorite Shampoo Brands!

Olaplex

I love to use the Olaplex shampoo, conditioner, and mask when I want a deep clean and condition for my hair. This I use almost as a reset for my hair when I’ve been using a lot of heat and just haven’t been treating it the best. Olaplex is definitely a pricy brand but I think it’s necessary to incorporate into your hair care regime. Shop Olaplex Here!

Monday Hair Care

This brand I actually found when I was searching for a clean combo that was sulfate free. I was using the OGX brand prior to them being recalled so I was ready for a brand that was more minimal ingredients and just cleaner. This shampoo and conditioner is super light so I never feel like it weighs down my hair but still gets it clean. Shop Monday Haircare Here!

Not Your Mother’s

shampoo brands

I think Not Your Mother’s will always be a part of my hair care routine. Although I am no longer Blonde, I would highly recommend their blonde shampoo and conditioner. I also used to always use their long term relationship combo when I was trying to grow out my hair. Anything from Not Your Mother’s is pretty good for a drug store brand. Shop Not Your Mother’s Here!

I hope sharing these brands with you makes you want to try one! My hair didn’t start growing until I realized that I needed to start using products that were high quality on my hair. Once I cut out heat and used better products I’ve seen such a difference in my hair!

My Dyson Air Wrap Tutorial

I am back again talking all about my Dyson air wrap! Today I am sharing a Dyson air wrap tutorial. This post is about which attachments I use and how I achieve my go to style. I mention in my previous Dyson post that it takes awhile to learn how to use this but once you do, you life is changed! Keep reading to see how I style my hair.

Step 1: Damp Hair

This I find is the most important step. You really can’t just hop out of the shower and try to style your hair. You have to let it dry a bit first before you do anything else. Be sure to use your favorite heat protectant to protect your hair!

Step 2: Brush Attachment

Before the air wrap, I was the gal who straightened her hair before she curled it. With that in mind, it should be no surprise that I use the brush attachment to straighten and dry my hair before I get into the styling. This brush attachment leaves your hair literally so soft and smooth. Most of the time I’ll just stop here. I often don’t need a full on blow out so this still dries my hair and gives it a little style on days I just need to get out of the door.

Step 3 A: Air Wrap Attachment

I decided to mention this attachment because I use it but not often. I originally got the air wrap for this attachment but I just don’t like it as much as I thought I would. The curls this produces don’t hold for me regardless of what I do so my hair just ends up falling after all the work I put into it. I think this attachment would be better on less fine hair so try it out for yourself and see.

Step 3 B: Round Brush Attachment

The round brush attachment has changed my life. I didn’t even use this one in the beginning until I watched a Tik Tok on it. This won’t give you curls but will give you literally the best blowout ever. I am so obsessed with this attachment. Sometimes I’ll quickly go in with this on my bangs to give them some curl and body. Other times I’ll actually wrap all my pieces up and use it as a real curler. Not only does this give you the perfect blowout, it also makes it so easy to do. I never blow dried my hair because it was so hard but this attachment has made it so easy!

I know this post was short and sweet but so many of you asked for it! You wanted a breakdown of exactly how and what I use for the Dyson so I hope this helps. I know it’s a huge investment but for me it really has replaced all of my other hot tools.

Let me know in the comments below your thoughts on the Dyson air wrap tutorial and if you have a favorite attachment!

My Dyson Air Wrap Review

dyson air wrap review

Prior to getting the Dyson Air Wrap, I was a straightener and a 1 inch curling iron girl. I almost never used a blow dryer and always just let my hair air dry. I’ve now had the Dyson for 2 months and have consistently used it once or twice per week since. Everyone has been asking my opinion on it so I thought I would put together this review so you can get a feel for this if you want to make the investment. I’m going to first let you know how I use it then summarize some of my person pros and cons!

Before we dive into my Dyson Air Wrap review, I want to first put a hair disclaimer out there. I have very thin hair that doesn’t often hold a curl well and my hair gets incredibly greasy very fast. It’s also important to note that my hair wavy when it dries and it doesn’t usually take long to style because there isn’t a lot of it. If you’re interested in my hair care routine, you can check it out here.

My first step when using the Dyson is to make sure my hair is damp, not fully wet. This helps to not have a lot of heat damage and contains some frizziness that can be created if you use it right out of the shower. Also, always be sure to use a heat protectant when applying any heat to your hair. Once my hair air dries, I use the brush attachment. I love this attachment and it is probably my favorite. It blow dries and straightens out my hair without needing a brush or using another tool.

My hair is sleek and straight in about 5 minutes. I literally can now leave my house within like an hour of showering, which was something I never really did. As you can see below, I use this attachment to straighten my hair. It is a little rounded so if you wanted to touch up your ends you could absolutely do that as well.

Depending on the day, the next attachment I go in with is the actual curling barrels. I like to use the thin longer ones. They do sell extra long ones on their website if you have longer hair. I will warn you, they don’t really curly your hair. I find it leaves my hair with a blowout look and not necessarily curls. The air wrap barrels were such a learning curve and even after two months of having this, I still feel like I don’t know how to properly use it.

I find it constantly leaves my hair with great volume as soon as it’s done but it falls out almost immediately. I’ve even tried hair spray and using rollers and it just doesn’t create the curl that I like on my hair like my traditional curler does. One other thing to note, I’m not sure if it’s just me but I get the worst knots in my hair using this attachment. I try to take only a little section of hair but some how will still get knots no matter what.

Aside from those two attachments, I also often reach for the mini blow dryer. This thing is powerful and seriously works. If you are considering the Dyson Blow Dryer or the Air Wrap, I would totally recommend getting the air wrap because for the price, you’re getting so much more than just a blow dryer.

There are more attachments but those three are generally my go to. I don’t think I could live without the brush attachment. In the fall I purchased the Revlon brush but it seriously does not compare to the Dyson. I can live without the air wrap part but I do use it and think the technology behind it is cool and helps to reduce heat on hair.

Okay now here is my pros and cons list of my Dyson Air Wrap Review…

Pros:

One Styling Tool, Multiple Styles with Various Attachments

Fast and Effective

Less Heat Damage

Cons:

Price

Learning Curve

Blowout Not Curl

I think the con that might not make this worth it to everyone is the price. The Dyson Air Wrap is currently $549.99. This is a serious investment that I think might not be worth it if you won’t use it everyday. I started out with a cheaper drying brush but once I was gifted this for my graduation, I won’t go back. It doesn’t leave my hair feeling fried like the cheaper version does. I will admit, I probably will still use my curling iron but I do love all of the other attachments that come with this.

This definitely was a long post to write and I still feel like I might not have covered everything! Please let me know if you have any other questions below about the air wrap. Also, if you know how to make the curls stay and look like curls, let me know lol! I hope this Dyson Air Wrap Review helped you see if this product is right for you!
