              Summary = The best haircare products that really work but only cost 
              $10.00 or less.  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 calmsfrizzies 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.
