Let’s be real: styling your hair can sometimes feel like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. One-size-fits-all? Not in the world of hair. But no worries, I’m here to help you navigate through the maze of products that will give your hair that fresh-out-of-the-salon look (without requiring a magic wand). Ready to meet your new hair BFFs?
But first, a little story…
So, picture this: I’m in California for a hairdressing training, but not just any training—it was at the end of a week where I had been hopping between different cities every day. Planes, buses, trains… you name it. My suitcase? Oh, it was tiny—fits perfectly in the overhead bin. The problem? I packed the wrong hair products—completely useless for the Californian weather.
.
By the time I got to the training, I felt like I had been run over by a train myself. But wait, it gets worse! On the morning of the training, the hotel hairdryer decided to die on me. Yes, it just stopped working. So there I was, with half-dried hair that had gone completely wild. I looked around at all the perfectly styled women and thought, “This cannot be happening…”
But here’s the thing—maybe it’s just me! You see, as a hairdresser, I think I’m destined to have messy hair when it matters most. It’s practically part of the job description, right? Hairdryers always seem to stop working at the most crucial moments—because why not? But don’t worry, this probably won’t happen to you!
.
Desperate, I turned to this girl with flawless hair and asked, “What are you using? How do you keep your hair looking so perfect?” She smiled and said, “You need to try Dreamcoat by Color WOW—it’ll save you.” And wow, was she right! As soon as I got home, I ordered it, and it’s been my go-to ever since.
Now, to save you from a similar disaster (minus the broken hairdryer, because that’s probably just my luck), here’s my list of must-have products that I would never travel without again. Trust me, these are the products that will make sure you’re runway-ready, no matter what happens.
1. Color WOW Dreamcoat – This miracle worker saved my hair. It keeps your hair frizz-free, smooth, and sleek no matter the weather.
2. L’Oréal Professionnel Tecni.Art Pli Shaper – When you need volume and lift, this is your secret weapon.
