I don’t really buy makeup products often, but I’m a total hair product junkie. I love to color, perm, cut, and  straighten my hair, so I try to take decent care of it.

Here’s a glimpse of what’s in my shower right now: Kerastase Nutritive Nutridefense conditioner, Neutrogena Triple Moisture Hair Mask, VO5 hot oil treatment, Freeman’s Peppermint and Plum foot scrub, pumice stone, My Melody mini bucket, Dermalogica: special cleansing gel, daily microexfoliant (purchased after Miss Lemonade’s review), and skin prep scrub, Alterna Moisturesilk Caviar Shampoo, Terax Crema Ultra Moisturizing Daily Conditioner, and Tom’s of Maine toothpaste.   (Isn’t this kinda like peeking in my medicine cabinet? )

I alternate between Kerastase and Terax as my conditioners (Kerastase is definitely richer).  I’m loving the Alterna shampoo simply because the bottle is so cool — it opens at the top automatically when you squeeze it, so no need for pumps or caps.  And for the occasional hair treatment, I’ll use a VO5 hot oil treatment in the shower, or slather my hair with the Neutrogena hair mask, wrap it with saran wrap and a towel, and work or do chores around the apartment on the weekends.  Finally I use a detangler – Phyto’s Phytomist Instant Hydrating Conditioner (I also love the smell of MOP’s Organic Pear Detangler but it’s not as moisturizing).  I order everything off drugstore.com and beauty.com for the convenient shipping and ordering process, but unfortunately they don’t carry all the brands that I love. 

In addition to the lines above, I’ve also tried: Aveda, Bumble & Bumble, Rene Furterer (works great but doesn’t smell so great), Ojon (the conditioner was too hard to get out of the bottle), Frederic Fekkai (another fave), Fresh (the best smelling but not the best moisturizing), Crede (another fave), Leonor GreyL… to name a few.  If you have any questions about any of these products, please feel free to ask!

I love to try new things, but the lines I keep coming back to are Kerastase, Terax, Crede and Phyto because they work the best for my long, normal, frequently harassed with color and highlights, hair.

What products do you use to keep your hair healthy?  Is there a new and exciting product that I absolutely must try?

PS - You know how they say you should only shampoo your hair three times a week?  Well I used to do that, and though I preferred shampooing, just using water and conditioner was fine.  But when you work out, how can you possibly shampoo only three times a week?
