Hello friends! Happy friday to everybody! I have recently been talking a lot more about my hair since I have been dealing with many changes due to postpartum hormone fluctuations. I decided to do a round of of my current favorite hair care products that actually work as they are advertised too.
Just in case you’re wondering around 1 month postpartum I started to experience a REALLY dry scalp. Like nothing I HAve ever experienced before. It was very itchy, flakey but at the same time I could not go more than a day without washing my hair because it would grease quickly?!? Makes no sense right! A Lot of the hair products that I had been using pre pregnancy were not working for my hair anymore. FOr a while I kind of was like “I’ll just wait it out and see” because I thought it would go back to normal. Well, here we are almost 8 months postpartum and it is still not compliant back to normal but like 80% better!
If you’re experiencing a similar issue or you are just curious to see what products I’m loving, keep reading!
First up we have the Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo
Now I know what you’re thinking, anti-dandruff shampoo? Like really? Yes! Ohh my gosh you guys, my scalp has changed insanely. I am struggling with dryness, itchiness, flakiness, basically all the things. I have tried different anti-dandruff shampoos and this one is the only one that worked for me. I have been using this with every hair wash (I use this shampoo first and then either BIOLAGE or the OGX Tea Tree because I’m still trying to regulate out my scalp haha) for over a month now and my scalp feels SO much better! I can finally go 3 days without washing my hair and my scalp doesn’t get as itchy or flakey. I think this has also helped a lot to regulate the oil production of my hair. For a while now, I could barely go a day between washes (very unlike my hair I used to do 3-4 and it still didn’t look half bad) but now it does get greasy but not nearly as fast.
BIOLAGE Advanced Keratindose Shampoo
I have shared this with you guys a few times on my instagram already because I recently came across this shampoo and have noticed a difference within a few washes. The girl that does my hair recommended it to me, so I bought a bottle from her. I can’t find the exact same bottle but I did find the same shampoo on amazon, linked for you guys here!
This is a keratin infused shampoo, so it will be really good for damaged hair as well as weak hair (in my case postpartum hair loss). I have noticed that this makes my hair feel/look fuller as well as adds a lot of shine. My hair has more volume after I use this, as well as smells really good!
I rotate between this shampoo and the OGX Tea Tree Mint.
OGX Extra Strength Tea Tree Mint Shampoo
I have been looking for a shampoo to help soothe my scalp (in addition to the anti-dandruff shampoo) because I just want to make sure that my hair finally goes back to normal haha I love this shampoo because it almost has this cooling affect and makes my scalp feel really good.
OGX Coconut Milk Moisturizing Conditioner
Hands down this is one of my favorite conditioners. I like to change things up and try new ones but I have been using this for a few weeks now (and have in the past as well). I always go back to it because it leaves my hair so nourished and smells really good. If you are looking for a good moisturizing conditioner, I would give this one a try!
Detangler is something really new to me, I have never used it in the past (I don’t know why, it’s awesome) this one had really good reviews on amazon so I decided to try it. I think it is worth the hype, it works well and the smell is very subtle.
I do not like washing my hair everyday (I try to every 3 days) but on night 2 my hair usually needs a little bit of help to not look like a total grease mess haha I have used different dry shampoos in the past and they gave me dandruff. This one (even though my scalp is still not 100%) does not add any discomfort and no matter how greasy my hair gets, it really does leave it looking clean. It also smells like you just walked out the hair salon!
That’s it! These are all my favorites that I use on a weekly basis!
I would love to know if you guys have any hair products that you’re currently loving?!?
-With love, Kasia
