Love Your Hair: ULTA Beauty

May 15, 2013

Do you love your hair?

That is the question I want you to answer. Do you embrace your hair for its texture, its color, its length, its style? All too often, I think it is easy to complain about our hair. I’m guilty of it as well – my fine/thin locks don’t like to hold a curl, and styling isn’t quite as “fun” as it could be if I happened to have some curl or volume. But, oh, how having a “good hair day” can transform my confidence level! Yes, the weather can play a part in that, but the products that I use with my hair also contribute.

 

ULTA Love Your Hair Products

 

 

ULTA Beauty’s Love Your Hair event is a 21-day celebration of hair, from May 12 through June 1 at ULTA Beauty. If you visit your local store, you can get involved with hair demos, prizes, and daily Beauty Steals™ – special offers on hair care products and tools. Some of these awesome events include free Redken Diamond Oil 5 Carat Finish with an appointment on 5/22 or 5/23, and Your Best Waves and Curls with Bed Head and Hot Tools on 5/14 from 4-8pm.

Now, I know I talk a lot about finding affordable style, but there are also times when splurging a bit is absolutely worth it. I wholeheartedly believe that is the case with your hair. Taking care of your locks with the proper products can not only make your hair look great, but can extend the time you need between salon visits. So, spending a little more money on your at-home hair care can actually save you money in the long run! Plus, having a good hair day every day isn’t such an awful thought, is it?

Sebastian Trilliance

 

I was lucky enough to test out a number of ULTA Beauty’s hair products at home, and I have a hard time picking out what my favorites were. A few did stand out, however. First, let’s talk about shampoo and conditioner. Now, with my straight hair, it is very easy to notice when my hair shines vs. when it looks dull. I always like to bump up the shine factor when possible, and I was absolutely blown away when I tried Sebastian’s Trilliance Shampoo and Conditioner. I could tell the difference in an instant when I dried my hair after my shower.

 

Orofluido

 

For upping the shine factor and smoothness in your hair, the Orofluido Beauty Elixir is such a great product. I have been pouring a small amount on the tips of my fingers and working it onto the ends of my hair when it is damp. It definitely smooths out all of those out-of-place hairs and helps mask split ends if you have any. The bottle is generously sized, so it will last quite a while!

 

Big Sexy Hair

 

Next up: the Sexy Hair Root Pump. I have actually used this product for years, and it is one of my all- time favorites. It is a spray mousse that you pump directly into the roots of your hair (as opposed to dispensing in your hands like other mousse products), and it really does pump your hair up with awesome volume. Side note: I really love the Root Pump Plus Humidity Resistant version…for those of us who live in humid climates like Florida, you know how much a product like that is necessary! And speaking of humidity resistance, the NEW Sexy Hair Weather Proof Humidity Resistant Spray was probably my favorite find for my hair. I’m officially obsessed. It is a finishing spray that shields your hair from humid conditions, and I know that it will become a regular in rotation once the humid summer season rolls around. Get it – this one is definitely worth the splurge to keep your hairstyle fresh throughout the day!
