My top hair care products for long hair ♡

♡ Since my hair is pretty much my life, i thought i'd tell you my favorite products. I'm one of those girls that barely ever goes to get her hair cut, because i love long hair and if i get a little cut off - i feel like i got all of my hair cut off lol. So these are the products i use to maintain long beautiful hair :)

L'Oreal everpure sulfate-free shampoo & conditioner: $5.99
After doing a lot of research on sulfate-free shampoos i decided to finally switch my shampoos up and by the L'Oreal and i'm so glad i did! I feel like it has really helped my hair. There's more shine, and it doesn't feel as dry as it used to.

Why is sulfate free shampoo better for you? (article found online @ healthyhairplus)
" 
"Think about it, if sulfate can cut the grease in house cleaners, it can certainly destroy the natural oils that are in your hair. Without oil, your hair will turn frizzy. Your scalp will also become devoid of the natural lubricants. Your body’s response is to make more oil. This becomes a vicious cycle the more you wash your hair. Not only will your scalp become very oily, so will your forehead where shampoo is in contact with it.
Once you are used to the non-bubbling shampoos, you will soon notice the benefits of clean hair and naturally oiled skin and scalp. Your hair will lose its frizz and it will feel so much smoother because of it. Split ends will also be reduced or become a thing of the past altogether."

Macadamia natural oil deep repair masque:

Aussie hair insurance leave in conditioner: $2.97
I love leave in conditioners, I feel like they really help dry hair. I've been using this one for awhile now, when my hair is wet, i'll spray this product all over my hair & then comb it. It smells amazinnngg, & while adding moisture to your hair, i feel like it also detangles it too. If you're looking for an inexpensive leave in conditioner, i highly reccomend this one.
what it claims to do:

"Aussie Moist Conditioner for dry, damaged hair claims to give dry hair a long quenching drink that will make it silky and irresistible. It's made with Australian guava fruit, and it claims to provide dry, damaged hair with a moisture infusion. Aussie Moist Conditioner is also pH balanced, it is said to be gentle on permed and color-treated hair, and the label claims it can be used on a daily basis."

White sands the cure 24/7: $29.99
what it claims to do:
"The Cure 24/7 is a leave in reconstructive treatment with visible results within minutes after application. The name says it all: a treatment that can be done day or night, wet or dry. The Cure 24/7 repairs damaged hair fibers, making tresses stronger, smoother, and shinier. Restoring damaged hair has never been so convenient and simple."

I bought this a few weeks ago, and so far i am impressed by it. After applying my leave in conditioner, i add this to my ends. I don't know if it complete removes split ends, but it does mend them and make them smoother, and does help my fly aways. The packaging is great because it comes with a pump, and the product itself is very lightweight.

It's a 10- miracle leave in product: $12.39
This is another one of my favorite leave in products. 

what it claims to do:
"Delivers ten benefits: repairs, adds shine, tames frizz, protects color, detangles, prevents split ends, curbs breakage, softens, boosts body, and protects hair from heat"

I love this product but for my hair, i don't agree that it completely repairs it. It definitely is great for taming frizz & adding shine. I feel like it makes the damage to my hair a little less noticeable and it's easier to manage!

macadamia natural oil healing oil: $39.95 [bigger bottle]
what it claims to do:
  • Intense nourishment for tangle & frizz free hair
  • Hair that is ultra-smooth, manageable & shiny
  • Natural UV protection extends the life of color treatments
  • Reduced drying time by an amazing 40-50%

i've been using macadamia products foreverrrrr! they are pricey, but they're worth it. I use this oil for when my hair is wet or dry. After i straighten it i apply this, it makes my hair sooo soft & shiny. & i love how it smells! When my hair is wet, i'll comb it first and then apply it to my ends to tame the frizz. I would avoid adding this by your roots because it may make your hair look a little greasy. A little goes along way when using this.

xox,
