Press Release
Body = Sometimes I feel that our hair has a direct line to our hearts...
when we have a bad hair day, the whole world seems gloomy, and dark
portentous clouds hang heavily over our heads (literally!). When
our hair is healthy, gleaming, and full of vitality, so does the
rest of our day seem just a little easier to handle... in spite
of this, if you are like me, you can’t justify spending money
on white truffles, champagne and caviar – especially when
it’s all in an eighty-dollar bottle of Alterna® Shampoo!
Fans of Alterna® reportedly include
Jennifer Aniston, the long-standing queen of Hollywood hair. For
the rest of us however, a trip to your local drugstore can hold
many treasures, if you know what to look for.
Here are some
picks for best hair products (that really work) for under $10.00
each:
Best Shampoo
and Conditioner: Pantene Pro-V Smooth and Sleek Shampoo and Conditioner
– for about $5.00 each, these are a perennial favorite among
the experts. The shampoo retexturizes hair, smoothing the shaft
and avoiding frizz. When used in combination with the conditioner,
which helps reduce flyaway strands and provides deep conditioning,
the company claims that you will have up to 65% smoother hair. Allure
Magazine has given these products their “Best of Beauty”
Award for the last seven years in a row.
Best Hair Serum:
Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Weightless Smoothing Serum –
with apricot kernel and avocado oils, this serum nourishes hair
and keeps it soft, yet weightless. A word about de-frizzing hair
serum: Thick ethnic hair like that of most Indian women will soak
this stuff up, so use sparingly, avoiding the scalp, otherwise you’ll
look like you went a couple rounds with a bottle of coconut oil!
Really, only the bottom half of your hair needs serum to control
split ends and provide shine.
Best Gel: John
Frieda Frizz Ease Corrective Styling Gel with Encapsulated Silicone
for Curly/Straight Hair – this firm hold gel controls hard
to manage hair while being non-sticky and non-greasy. The silicone
beads provide added shine and calms
frizzies and fly-aways. This product is a staple when blow-drying
my own waist-length hair! I also love this gel for men because it’s
easy to use and has a
very subtle, non-girly scent.
Best Gel for
Curly Hair: Physique Spiral Gel – this gel aligns irregular
air spaces along the strands of hair to enhance the definition of
your curls. It is ph-balanced and gentle on color-treated or permed
hair. This keeps curls bouncy and defined all day long, and through
those crazy nights at the clubs!
Best Mousse:
Helene Curtis ThermaSilk Volume Infusing Mousse – Forget everything
you’ve ever known about the mousses that spawned countless
tacky 80s - style hair that stuck straight up out of your head like
a fountain! ThermaSilk Volume Infusing Mousse is heat-activated
(like the whole ThermaSilk line) which conditions your hair while
you blow-dry. I personally used the entire line (shampoo, conditioner,
volumizing spray, and mousse) for about three months last summer,
and actually had to stop because my hair got so silky and smooth
that I couldn’t do anything with it!
Clips and pins would literally just fall out of my hair. That being
said...
Best Volumizing
Spray: Helene Curtis ThermaSilk Heat Activated Volume and Shine
Spray – This formula is made up of two layers of formula that
you have to shake to mix together before using. The bottom layer
contains heat activated resins that pump up hair and provide volume,
while the top layer has silicone to add shine and swing. Real Simple
Magazine recommends this spray after polling numerous hairstylists
and testing it themselves.
Best Hair Spray:
Umberto Giannini Glamour Clear Gloss Hairspray – this modern
hairspray combines super hold with maximum flexibility; there is
no flaking, even if you brush your hair after applying. I love the
scent, which for some reason smells like the inside of Saks 5th
Avenue to me. For some, it may be a little overpowering. At the
moment, this spray is only available at the Rite Aid chain of drugstores.
