Sponsored Post: HASK Products

Ok I admit it, I am a diva when it comes to hair care. 

I am that girl that buys overly expensive products just because I can. Probably not the best thing, but at least my hair feels nice? So I keep on telling myself that as I see my small paychecks go down the drain...

Well as a part of the Brand backer program, I have the pleasure of telling you all about some great new products released by HASK Beauty! I have used some of their deep conditioning products before and adore their organic quality, as well as the fact they make their products in the USA (cue patriotic song and fireworks). 

Did I also mention their products are made without parabens, sulfates, phthalates, gluten, alcohol or artificial colors. They are color-safe, and they are not tested on animals? Plus their prices are not terrible, aka are budget friendly for all those hair care junkies like me.

In my package I received the Keratin Protein package, Argan Oil package, Deep Conditioners and smoothing oil.

Both the repair and strengthening conditioners are great quality. I love conditioners with substance and they both have a great, thick and creamy quality as well as lather well. I personally love the effects of the strengthening shampoo/conditioner moreso than the repairing, but both give you great results.

The Healing Shine treatments are great to use both after you get out of the shower, or after you style your hair. I prefer the latter, taming the look of fried ends after straightening my hair.

Both of the strengthening and repairing deep conditioners provided two uses each package. I use a deep conditioner weekly, and they fit in great into my usual regime. They helped cure some of the damaged ends I have and keep my hair fresh when using heat products.

Overall, definite thumbs up for the HASK product line. You can order them online, or in many Walmart, K-Mart, Rite Aids and some super markets.

Favorite Friday: Hair Care

note: this post is not a paid sponsor post. all products are chosen by me.

It is Favorite Friday! This week I will be talking about one of my go to topics: Haircare.

More than makeup, more than clothes, I love hair care. My hair is truly the one thing I spend a lot of time on in the morning. I am all about researching and figuring out what the best products are. I will admit, I spend a lot of money on my hair. However, I spend it in the right places and save where I can.

Here are my 8 favorite hair care products!

1. Redken Shampoo and Conditioner

This shampoo/conditioner combo is great. I use it every 2-3 days and it leaves my hair feeling clean and preserves my color extremely well. One thing many people do not realize about shampoo/conditioner is that it needs to be pH balanced in order for your color to be maintained. There is a whole list of ph balanced benefits as well. Definitely research the shampoo you use to make sure it is best for your hair!

2. Its a Ten Leave in product

This spray has 10 incredible benefits for your hair. I use it to prevent split ends and protect my hair from heat damage. Spray about 5-10 sprays when you get out of the shower.

3. Remington 1 1/2 Curling Wand

I use a curling wand to give my hair some nice waves as well as more flexibility then a curling iron. In my opinion, the Remington 1 1/2 is the best low price wand out there right now.

4. Redken Deep Conditioner

Use a deep conditioner about once per week. I prefer to allow my hair to rest in it in a shower cap for 20 minutes. It does wonders for damage. I prefer Redken, but you know my love of Redken products.

5. Chi Straightener

My go to straightener. For some reason I cannot seem to blow dry my hair the right way, so I let my hair air dry and quickly run a straightener through the kinks. 

6. Multivitamin

Now I know many of you are wondering, why did I put multivitamins under hair care? Well keeping yourself healthy is one of the best things you can do for your hair. Especially look for a multivitamin with a little bit of biotin. However do not buy biotin pills. Taking too much can do more harm then good.

7. Wide tooth comb

Never, and I mean never brush your hair right when you get out of the shower. A brush will pull and snag your hair and cause breakage. Use a wide tooth comb to de-tangle wet hair.

8. Biosilk leave in conditioner

I love this leave in conditioner. It is somewhat like oil and great to add to rough ends. I love to run this in my hair when it is wet as well as after straightening to restore some shine.

What are your favorite hair products? Any tips for great hair care?
