5 Must Have Hair Products

Walking through the aisles of hair products at your favorite beauty supply store can be an overwhelming task. How are you supposed to know which products you actually need? It can be so difficult that we often turn to the internet to tell us what products we should be using for our hair. And I shouldn’t need to remind you about the slippery slope you’ll be on if you allow the internet to tell you what is right for you! Fortunately for you, I do know a thing or two about hair care after being a hairstylist myself and also working with thousands of professional hairstylists over the past decade. So, here are your 5 must have hair products that you need at home to maintain healthy and vibrant hair.

Let’s start with the foundation of hair care - a good shampoo.  The biggest factor when selecting a shampoo is to identify your hair type.  Are you typically feeling like your hair is dry and lacking moisture? Does it lack integrity when wet and seems to stretch and snap when combing through? These will require a different type of shampoo. If your hair is dry or breaking off, your hair lacks moisture. You need to seek after a hydration-focused shampoo like Goldie Locks Signature Shampoo. It is formulated to moisturize the hair strand and keep it flexible and luscious. If your hair seems to be compromised in any way,  you will want to explore a shampoo that has a bond-builder or protein to help restore structure. 

The next must-have is a high performance conditioner. The role of conditioner is to  focus on hydration, detangling, and preventing damage. It’s hard to find a conditioner that doesn’t weigh your hair down, but as a fellow fine-haired gal, I’ve found the perfect option. The Goldie Locks Signature Conditioner is the best I’ve found to deliver actual results without making my hair feel heavy or greasy. Because of the unique ingredients, this product is able to drive results without comprising hair movement and swing.

Leave-in treatments are a vital product for ongoing hair nourishment.  A leave-in conditioner is made to be lighter than a daily conditioner, even if it has similar ingredients. Every hair type will benefit from a leave-in conditioner, as it balances hydration and provides perks like UV protection. Think of your leave-in conditioner like a toner for your hair. It preps the hair for future products and styling, and creates an even porosity on your canvas. The power of a leave-in treatment is often underestimated! The Goldie Locks Signature Serum cocktailed with the Goldie Locks Smoothing Cream is my absolute favorite thing to apply to my hair. Regardless of whether I am wearing extensions or not, this is my ride or die hair elixir. Bring on the frizz control and weightless hydration with these two magical products!

You need to incorporate a hair mask into your routine. A hair mask can unlock your hair’s highest hydration potential. I like to use my Goldie Locks Signature Hair Mask bi-monthly to keep my hair from acting thirsty for moisture. I love this hair mask in particular because of the ingredients in the signature Goldie complex. Listen to this line up! Rose water- boosts scalp health and minimizes oiliness. Vanilla Bean - amplifies shine and combats frizz. White Truffle - revives strands and protects hair. Marula Oil - lightweight, fortifies hair, and adds shine. Biotin - boosts keratin and accelerates follicle growth. And Ginseng - strengthens hair, reduces hair loss, and promotes growth. This ingredient line up is incredibly unique and delivers fast-acting results and will leave your hair feeling healthier than ever.

If I had to choose just one styling product, I would have to select my Goldie Locks Flexible Hold Hair Spray. I’m not a fan of the crunchy hair look or feel, which is why my go-to is a flexible hold hair spray. I love that I can brush through my hair without creating flakes after using this product. It gives my hair the right amount of hold without freezing it in place. This product in particular will not dry out your hair like a lot of hair sprays can, due to its unique ingredient stack that also happens to be extension-friendly and color safe. 

Incorporating these five essential products into your hair care routine is essential for maintaining healthy hair. I have been using these 5 must have products, all from the professional hair care line Goldie Locks for the past 3 years, and my hair has never been healthier or more vibrant. Definitely consider your hair type and needs when selecting products and definitely reach out and consult with a hair care professional if you are unsure.
