My Top Haircare Picks | Summer 2022
Anyone else feel like summer is ROUGH on their hair? Can’t just be me! I have the roughest time with my hair getting dry with all of the sun and water in my hair every summer. Every year I find products that work a little better to keep my hair more balanced and happier throughout the summer, and today I am going to share my top 5 favorites for Summer 2022!
I HATE Hair Oils. Seriously, I am not kidding. No matter how much I WANT to love them, they wind up leaving my hair greasy and needing dry shampoo 12 hours after a wash. But out of my desire to make one work for me, I tried this hair oil. Let me tell you- this is the ONLY one that works for my greasy scalp dry ends situation, and it does it like a pro!
From the brand: “A weightless hair oil that is clinically proven to enhance shine by 75%*. Ghost Oil™ is formulated with nourishing moringa oil and enriches the hair shaft with essential nutrients that naturally smooth frizz and promote radiant shine for all hair types.”
Lavami Shampoo and Conditioner Bars, $33 Here.
I never thought I could adjust to a shampoo BAR, but here I am LOVING this shampoo and conditioner! It leaves my hair absolutely silky soft and my scalp feels so clean! I never in a million years thought these would be for me, but they are!
From the brand: “Help reduce waste and ditch those plastic bottles by switching to solid shampoo and conditioner bars. Our shampoo bar lathers easily to remove build-up without stripping the hair of its natural oils and the conditioner bar is packed full of hair-loving ingredients that will leave your hair silky and soft
This set is perfect if you struggle with a dry or sensitive scalp as it works without irritating or drying your hair or scalp further. Your scalp is hard to exfoliate, but the scalp massager gets right in there! The shampoo and conditioner bars are free from sulfates and silicones.
If you're sensitive to essential oils, you can get the shampoo and conditioner bars unscented.”
Amika Dream Routine Overnight Hydrating Hair Treatment, $28 Here.
Ever since I tried my first overnight hair repair serum, I have been hooked. It is like the ultimate sleeping mask for your hair. Best part? Nothing to do when you wake up! No rinsing, no nonsense. I love almost everything I have tried from Amika, and their overnight treatment is no exception. You only need a tiny amount to give your hair great hydration for DAYS! That’s right! More than one! Talk about a winner. This product is definitely at the top of my list!
From the brand: “It's time to put dry hair to bed with our ultra-hydrating, silicone-free overnight hair treatment. infused with hyaluronic acid, dream routine boosts moisture for 72 hours* and results in hair that is 3x more hydrated by morning*.”
Redken Acid Concentrate Serum, $30 Here.
Who says acid is bad for your hair? I bet thinking about it, you thought it was a road straight to dry, frizz town. Did I come close? This new line by Redken is actually the opposite of that. By using acids, the products can better penetrate the hair cuticle leaving hair soft, silky and smooth. Paired with my other favorites here, your hair will never feel better!
From the brand: “This four step regimen is formulated with Citric Acid, an alpha hydroxy acid within Redken’s concentrated Bonding Care Complex, a technology that strengthens the weakened bonds of the hair and improves the strength and resilience of damaged hair for immediate, visible results. When used as a 4-step system… Acidic Bonding Concentrate’s pH-balancing formulas infuse hair with the intense conditioning and ultimate repair that dry, damaged hair needs. Plus, for all the hair color enthusiasts out there, it’s suitable for color-treated hair, helps protect from color fade, and is sulfate-free.”
ColorWow Dream Coat, $28 Here.
Frizzy hair? No more! This product is my absolute holy grail when it comes to banishing frizz. Used every 3 washes, this holy hair nectar is quite literally the gift that keeps on giving! Spray it onto damp hair, blow dry, and be on your merry way! That’s my kind of product. Even when I visit my family in humid Florida in July, my hair is frizz-free with this gem.
From the brand: Advanced anti-frizz formula leaves hair super glossy, glassy, ultra smooth. Groundbreaking humidity-blocking technology stops moisture from wrecking your style. Ultra-light spray feels like nothing is on the hair. Economical. Results last through 3-4 shampoos.
