Best Hair and Nail Care Products Reviewed

My list of must-have beauty items for maintaining my hair and nails.

Hair products

AVEDA speed Of Light Blow Dry Accelerator Spray my hair colorist back in the Bay Area turned me onto this product. It’s lovely. I use it on most week days when I need to get my hair to dry quickly without a lot of product.

KERASTASE Discipline Bain Fluidealiste Shampoo | Smoothing Anti-Frizz Shampoo | Sulfate-free | For All Hair Types I. love. this. brand. In the past, most shampoos would leave my scalp oily after too much use. This product rarely does that. I also pay to get my color done at a salon so using a product that protects my hair in between washes is important too. It’s a great investment and only requires a small amount each time.

KERASTASE Resistance Ciment Thermique Hair Serum and Blow Dry Primer | Heat Protectant for Damaged Hair this product is fantastic to use both before and after you’ve finished blow drying your hair. A little bit goes a long way. It smoothes out flyaways afterwards and helps protect your hair from the heat before you get started.

R+Co Death Valley Dry Shampoo every girl needs a small can of dry shampoo on hand, especially us blondes. I really like this product. It’s easy to source on Amazon, it’s compact so it travels well in a purse or toiletry bag. It actually smells nice.

Bed Head Manipulator I love this product. On days when I want to create a beach-wave look, I use this. You can use a little or a lot but the effect looks effortless. It wears well the next day too if you pin up your hair in a tressed look. Get yours: https://amzn.to/43iatuf

Perfect Formula Pink Gel Coat – Keratin Rich Nail Growth Treatment, Protein-Rich Sheer Pink Gel Nail Polish – A “Suit of Armor” For Your Nails Now, I know you’re probably going to turn up your nose because this product typically retails for $30 but it’s completely worth it. I sometimes only brush this pink perfection of a product on my nails and I’m telling you, that’s all I need. They look really nice for a week+ with only this product on them. And it strengthens my nails in the process. I like the pink coat because it looks natural. Try it. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed in the slightest.

Compact Nail File by Revlon, Dual Sided Nail Care Tool, Smooths & Shapes Nails as someone who doesn’t regularly go to the salon, these are great to have in a pinch. I buy the 24 pack and leave a few around (my purse, bedside table, desk, backpacks, work bags, car etc.). These nail files help quickly alleviate a sharp edge or cracked nail. If you asked me what three things I could have if I were stranded on a desert island, I’d probably have to make this the third item.
