Some women are lucky enough to have blowouts three times a week, but for most of us, we have to recreate the salon experience at home. Luckily, the world of hair care has exploded and professional quality tools and intensive, repairing products are available at home; but, we all know it's not just about the products, it's the experience that matters. This summer you can take pampering into your own hands and give yourself the spa experience you really deserve. Here are some must-have home salon essentials that will make for the perfect indulgent taking-care-of-me day.
Salon products are often what makes the experience worthwhile, but TRESemmé’s new collection of indulgent treatments and hair masque give you all the benefits without the strain on your bank balance. If you have very damaged hair, try the Rejuvenating Mud Masque, $5.99, which leaves your hair up to 10x stronger after just one use. If you’re looking for long term restoration, try the Protein Renewal Crème, $5.99. Women looking for that extra salon shine should pick up the Liquid Gold Shine Therapy, $5.99, which is infused with reflective micro-crystals that give your hair a glowing shine without heavy oils.
2. Instyler TopStyler
Hot rollers may seem difficult or too time consuming but there’s no doubt that they’re the secret to amazing, bouncy, luscious looking waves and curls. This rollerless set, $99.95 relies on ceramic shells to gently heat and style your hair into whatever shape you wish. Just wrap your hair around your fingers and apply the clip. You’re able to get every style from tight ringlets to loose waves without the hassle of a curling iron.
3. Caudalie Beauty Elixir
Having fabulous hair is the primary appeal of a salon visit but the atmosphere, sights, and smells play a part as well. Fear not, you can get the same salon fresh feeling in your own bathroom. This skincare miracle, $18, is a serum and a toner, so your skin will definitely benefit from a spritz, but its primary function in this at home salon experience is its fresh minty, botanical scent and tingly feeling, the skincare benefits are just an added bonus!
4. Tangle Teezer
Now, it’s definitely not the most glamorous looking brush in the world, but the Tangle Teezer will quickly become your very best friend. This plastic contraption, $15.99, reigns supreme when it comes to damage-free detangling. Too many women spend hours ripping a brush through knots and dreaded locks but with this tiny tool, the work is done by its flexible teeth that glide, rather than rip, through the hair.
5. T3 Featherweight Luxe
A glamorous blow dry depends on three things: technique, tools, and practice. To get the best possible salon-style blowout, you need a great blow-dryer. By drying larger sections at a time, you not only save time but you end up with much healthier hair because with a weaker machine, you run the risk of over-drying and dehydrating your hair. This version by T3 may seem expensive at $250, but it will pay for itself many times over when you think of how much a professional blow-dry would be costing you in the long run.
