Ouai Hair Oil

Ouai Hair Oil is a great multitasking hair oil. Suitable for all hair types. Lightweight and buildable. Prevents breakage and smooths out frizz. The Holy Grail of hair oil.

This Ouai Hair oil uses their Rue St. Honore scent. The scent is a mix of violet, gardenia, ylang ylang and white musk. A heavenly mix of florals that will leave your hair smelling amazing.

I love to use it when blow drying my freshly washed hair. It leaves my long thick hair incredibly shiny. Even with my thick hair, a little goes a long way.

You can apply a couple of drops to wet or dry hair. Comb the oil through your strands and style. You can apply more as needed for thicker hair.

Jupiter Balance Shampoo & Nourishing Conditioner

I have long thick naturally curly hair. I get Brazillian Blowouts every three months. I was using a shampoo and conditioner that I love and still love. Yet, recently my scalp kept feeling itchy and irritated even after a fresh wash.

Now this does not happen to me a lot and I have a hunch that a lot of it is product buildup. I decided to do a little research. The most common causes of itchy scalp is seborrheic dermatitis. This is caused by an overgrowth of yeast on the scalp. For mild cases this can be treated with over the counter selenium and zinc pyrithione. So, I sought out to find a shampoo with one of these ingredients free of sulfates, parabens, and other nasty ingredients.

Jupiter Balancing Shampoo seemed to check all the boxes as it contains zinc pyrithione and lots of natural ingredients to help balance and remove buildup. The nourishing conditioner contains soothing ingredients like colloidal oatmeal to help calm the scalp.

I plan to use this shampoo for several washes before returning to my usual shampoo that does tame my hair a little better. Jupiter shampoo and conditioner did calm my scalp and drastically reduced the itching and irritation after one one wash. The zinc pyrithione in the shampoo combined with ingredients like colloidal oatmeal in the conditioner calmed my irritated scalp and reduced the itching by 95% after my first wash. This product is also great for all hair types.

Pureology Style + Protect Refresh & Go Dry Shampoo

Pureology’s Style + Protect Refresh & Go Dry Shampoo is my go to dry shampoo. It absorbs oil without drying out your hair. It adds movement and light texture. This product provides great protection for chemically treated hair.

Pureology’s Style + Protect Reresh and Go dry shampoo is sulfate free. It is also made without parabens, phtalates, mineral oil, retinyl palmate, oxybenzone, coal tar, hydroquinone, triclosan, and triclocarban. The dry shampoo is also 100% vegan and made with less than 1% synthetic fragrance. 

The dry shampoo absorbs all of the oil, dirt, and buildup. The hair is left more refreshed and revived. You spray it evenly onto your dry hair focusing on the roots and then brush through really good. 

I definitely reccomend this dry shampoo by Pureology to anyone. It’s especially important for those with colored or chemically treated hair. You can find this product at Ulta, Sephora, Amazon, or directly from Pureology.
