My mom (otherwise known as Glammy) has been in the hair business for 33 years, both as a beautician and on the retail side. That means my sister and I have been spoiled since elementary school with the best hair products, a beauty shop connected to our house growing up (which had a tanning bed at the height of the 90s tanning trend) and our own personal stylist ready to cut or color whenever the urge popped up (which is always why, between the two of us, we've had every style and color of hair).
Glammy was recently visiting and we went into our local beauty supply store and thought we would share some of our family's most tried and true products, and believe us, we've tried them all. Here is the real deal on our thoughts and what we are buying on the regular.
Not an ad...just fans.
Amika's Perk Up Dry Shampoo
Most popular selling dry shampoo at the beauty store Glammy works at. Great smell and does exactly what it says it will do.
Mystic Tan's Wake Up Tan
A new favorite that surprised us all with it's streak-free, natural looking tan. Your tan can build the more you use it (and no tanning bed required).
Pravana's Intenese Therapy Leave-In
Great for detangling. A must-have for little girls with long hair who hate a brush and comb.
Mira Nila's Pure Volume Shampoo
This is a new line with a great smell that gives great volume!
Surface's Violet Shampoo or Conditioner
Our absolute favorite purple brass buster. There are a lot on the market, but this is the one we're grabbing every time. Can be used as needed, not each time you wash if you aren't that brassy.
(Just don't travel with it in a suitcase. Lesson learned the hard way.)
Pureology's Nanoworks Gold
This one is pricey, but if you want buttery, soft hair, it's worth its weight in Nanoworks Gold. When my hair is feeling dry and frizzy, this is what is going to fix me up!
Amika's Dream Routine Overnight Hydration Treatment
For those of us who are lazy about putting a mask on our hair this is the product to get. Put it on your dry hair before you go to sleep and you can wash it the next day, or magically, just leave it in! We've all had great second day hair after using this the night before.
Unfortunately you are on your own for where to get these products because yes, we are spoiled and get them straight from Glammy's hands. Ask your beautician or give it a google and see where you can find each individual product. Here's to good hair days!
