i dont really use the fancy stuff for my hair. however, i do think its important to go see your hair stylist at least once every 3 months. regular maintenance really helps because by the time your wedding rolls around, you’ll already have the beautiful locks!

i think finding your wedding day hair stylist should be one of the first things you do, since your hair takes the longest to grow.

i use cheap shampoo and conditioner (suave and white rain are generally about $1/bottle); i have a hard time spending $ on something that goes down the drain everyday.

i concur with m. butterfly; regular haircuts are really important. i’ve gone as long as a year without a cut, and the feeling after a haircut is unbelievable and cannot be duplicated.

I use L’Oreal VIVE for dry and rebellious hair that’s thick. And I get compliments all the time and it’s not that expensive. But, I need a deep conditioning stuff to maintain my now *long* hair (for the wedding) and so, thank you Mrs. Bee!

i LOOOOOVE biosilk and crede ER…. i just use a crappy drugstore shampoo and the crede makes my hair silky every day. it’s amazing the difference it makes. i also use john frieda brilliant brunette glossing to add shine and make hair look more finished… i’m going to have to try the beer rinse.

i too love Kerastase and Terax, but one product line that I’ve become a HUGE fan of is Ojon Haircare. I first tried the Restorative Hair Treatment (which can be used as a deep conditioning treatment, leave-in, or shine enhancer, depending on the amount you use). My hair feels transfromed everytime I do the treatment! I now also use the Detox Recovery Ritual (great for dry scalp in the winter season and as a purifying shampoo) and the Ultra Hydrating Conditioner (which thickens your hair). I can’t recommend this line more!

Thanks for the tips everyone! I will definitely try getting layers with scissors and try the detanglers. (My hair behind my neck always gets tangled!) How do you rinse your hair in beer exactly?

I’ve recently fell in love with Pantene’s Sleek and Smooth line (especially the conditioner!). It makes my hair smooth and soft.

I second SarainSeattle - Aveda’s Damage Remedy Conditioner is awesome for days when your hair feels so dry. I used it the day after my wedding to get rid of the knots and help my hair feel fresh and healthy after being teased and damaged.

i use dove, that works. i also like thermasilk since i blow dry my hair into submission every week. and the v05 hot oil treatments and my sister’s hair mask. i can’t remember what name it is but it comes in a little orange bottle.

as far as home treatments, i rinse in a mixture of lemon juice [that real lemon stuff] and water to help control dandruff and every so often i have been known to use a mayonnaise conditioning treatment. yup, just help yourself to some mayo and slather it on your ends and ta da. niceness. though i can’t help but feel like a sandwich

Amazing results from Suave professionals line of shampoos & conditions. Drugstore cheap!

Pantene works best on my thick and unruly hair. From time to time I use Nigelle DS shampoo and TF (Tender Feel) conditioner. I also use Mucota oil on my ends - it’s expensive at about $40 for a small bottle but you only need to use a drop to get good results.
