Where to Look for Professional Products That Are Used at Home

The first place people go when they want the best hair products is to their favorite salon. A professional hair stylist is always the best source of information when it comes to your hair. No one knows your hair better than the person cutting it.

What Products Do I Look For?

It all depends on what you are planning on doing with your hair when you get home. If you plan on a maintenance program between salon visits, don’t go crazy loading up with product lines and equipment.

• Most curling irons will do the trick.  The best curling irons are the ‘ceramic’ type that will not damage hair and work best. Some are wet/dry varieties, meaning they can curl on wet or dry hair. CHI, Babyliss, Paul Mitchell and others make curling irons, hair straighteners that do professional jobs at home.

• CHI, Revlon and several other companies make hot rollers for use when you need to get a fresh look without the time to run to the salon. Unless you are planning to open your own salon, any good commercial product will do.

• Hair dryers and blow dryers are best when they can be handled easily at home. Light weight hair dryers and blow dryers are available almost everywhere. A good blow dryer should come with a diffuser attachment. Hair dryers come with hoods or bonnets. Hair dryers are faster but you need to know how to style. A good hair stylist will have told you how to maintain your hair style at home.

• Men and women suffering with hair loss will turn to Rogaine to add volume and regrow hair. The best method of stopping hair loss is to take vitamins and add calcium to your diet. Hair loss begins from the inside and, coupled with special products to reduce the loss and help to regenerate hair growth, the hair loss will eventually be halted.

• There are other numerous products on the market. Certain gels and mousses add volume to thin or fine hair, such as Kerastase, Bumble & Bumble and Bed Head.

Shampoos that are formulated to give your hair fullness and body  really do make your hair thicker and fuller looking. Root Boost from Bed Head is another excellent product that does the same thing.  Drench from Sebastian is a replenishing shampoo that adds moisture to your hair while adding body.

• Using the appropriate brushes and combs helps maintain a healthy head of hair. Brushes come in round versions, flat versions and semi-round versions. They are used for blow drying hair, brushing nightly and styling, and are used in conjunction with combs when necessary (back-combing, or teasing).

• Hair clippers and trimmers are the backbone of many classic mens styles. The professional products such as Wahl, Oster and Andis offer a wide variety of styles that do different jobs.

• Hair extensions can be kept together at home with certain products that are used in the salons. Add Hair glue sticks, braiders and other similar products will keep your extensions looking natural and fresh until the next salon visit.

There are so many different types of hair products today that it is best to maintain a relationship with your hair stylist. Buy only what is needed for the basic maintenance of your hair and let the professionals do their job.
