Hair Products to Style Your Weave

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Brandeis chapter.

Since the summer is now over, girls like me struggle to keep their hair nourished, hydrated and well-styled. Do you ever feel like your hair feels flat, dry, knotted, frizzy or thin? Ladies, you are in luck, because I’m about to tell you about the essential hair products for any type of hair to keep your weave looking sleek for class, parties, and any type of occasion.
 
My favorite hair product line is Pantene. Pantene has products for any type of hair be it thick, curly, colored, fine, you name it. Some say that Pantene hair products dry your hair out, however, in my experience, Pantene has actually saved my hair from breakage and the dryness of winter. Pantene has great products including hair sprays, balms, creams, and gels. These products give my hair a natural looking hold while embracing the volume. Pantene Hairspray works wonders, so be sure to try it out!
 
If you’re looking for mousse, I would recommend going for Garnier Fructis mousse which is tailored to give hair volume using natural ingredients. You can even choose the strength of the “hold” for the mousse. Be sure to use no more than a quarter-sized dab in your palm, otherwise, your hair will look stiff and lacking in movement.
 
Finally, the most unlikely hair product you can find – baby powder. Have you ever had one of those days when your hair just gets greasy by the end of the day, but you don’t want to wash it twice a day? Well, baby powder can help you solve that problem. Just put a bit in your palm and work it through the roots of your hair. Shake out the excess powder and voilà! You hair looks like you just washed it!
 
As far as shampoo and conditioner go, the popular vote goes to Bumble and Bumble. Though the product is a bit pricey, it is well worth the money. The shampoo and conditioner are extra concentrated so the bottle can last you a fairly long time. Bumble and Bumble has products for any hair type to ensure that you hair looks silky, soft, and fresh!
 
Just by trying out some of the aforementioned products, you can be sure to tackle any type of weather or situation. The best part is that you don’t even need to spend that much money to get happy and healthy hair!
