I Whip My Hurr Back and Forth: The Best Haircare of 2014

Each year my New Years resolutions are beauty related. One year it was to paint make sure my nails were primped and painted at all times. Last year it was to wear dresses 5 times a week. Well in 2014 my resolution is to take care of my hair aka the bail of hay and boy, did I ever  find some new addictions! So as a good beauty blogger, I'm here to share my addictions. You're welcome ;)
Oh yeah, as you know, scent is HUGE for me and how I rate products and I can safely vouch for all of these babies!
BEAUTY PROTECTOR
PROTECT & OIL
Suitable for all hair types, this is a lightweight hair oil that protects against heat damage from styling AND UV rays! What the what??? The best part is that my hair doesn't feel gnarly and greased out after using it, nor does it look gnarly and greased out after I use it. Plus, the scent is delicious! It reminds me of Aquolina's Pink Sugar, which for me is better in styling product form as opposed to actual perfume.

BEAUTY PROTECTOR
PROTECT & DETANGLE
My hair is a pain in the ass. Really fine but a shit ton of it. My only boo/hiss is that for hair like mine, you will go through this product very quickly as it takes quite a bit more than recommended to detangle. People with hair shorter than shoulder length would probably the most ideal candidates for this leave in product.
That said, I do really like this more as a leave in conditioner a lot. It is 100% vegan and smells just as yummy as the oil. 


ALTERNA BAMBOO
BAMBOO STYLE
BOHO WAVES SPRAY
Love the beautiful beachy waves this weightless mist gives me. Adds texture, volume and healthy shine without feeling greasy or weighed down. This is the ONLY "beachy waves" product that actually delivers what it claims. Love this!!

ALTERNA BAMBOO SMOOTH
KENDI DRY OIL MIST
This is super lightweight spray mist and absorbs instantly. It can be used as a treatment or to eliminate frizz, protect hair from styling tools, adds shine and makes the hair look super healthy! Great for protecting color! 
I love how glossy my hair looks, bouncin and behavin without looking like a bad Geri curl circa 1987.
ALTERNA CAVIAR
CAVIAR CC CREAM
10-IN-1 COMPLETE CORRECTION
This leave-in product touts 10 benefits in 1 step. Provides moisture, shine, smoothness, softness, UV protection, manageability, strength, anti-breakage, heat protection and light hold. Can be used alone or as a base for other styling products.
I started using this after receiving a generous sample from Glossybox. I've been using this more as a styling product but also as a hair mask too. Light weight products are key for me and rarely, if ever, do hair masks or other conditioning treatments leave me looking like anything but a roadie for Great White. This actually has improved the volume of my hair and helps keep it's style set. Oh and it smells good too! 

ALTERNA CAVIAR OVERNIGHT HAIR RESCUE 
Repairs & replenishes dry, damaged hair overnight! Non greasy and absorbs instantly for smoothness and shine, preventing damage, dryness and breakage. 
Possibly the most user friendly product around. I mean, how many products work miracles while you sleep? After using this a couple times each week, I've noticed that the damaged ends don't look as frazzled. It's as if ALTERNA gave my split ends mouth to mouth. Oh yeah, it smells good too ;)
UNITE
7 SECONDS LEAVE IN CONDITIONER
I've definitely saved the best for last. I was introduced to the UNITE brand by my stylist Sarah B. and it became my obsession. No, really. 
I'm gonna level with you, my hair in its raw state is not pretty. It's very fine, dry and strangely wavy and alternately straight at the same time. If my hair is wet, hell, even damp, I can forget about running a comb or brush through it, until now. 
7 Seconds is super light weight, smells clean in the most scrumptious way and let's me brush my hair as if I had not tortured it all these many years. After using this, when I let my hair air dry it looks just as lovely as when I blow dry and style it with heat products. The fact that it doesn't feel greasy or weighted down.
I'm going to go there and say that this is THE BEST LEAVE IN CONDITIONER/DETANGLER......EVER!! Buy it.  Oh and by the way, it smells like the heavens have parted and angels have come spilling out and are dancing 'round my beachy waves. When I became acquainted with UNITE, I understood people addicted to huffing. Good lord this smells good!
