Hair care products
1. L’Oreal Elvive Total Repair 5 Damage-Erasing Balm
This is a hair mask that claims to be made for damaged hair as it instantly repairs 5 signs of damage - split ends, weakness, roughness, dullness, and dehydration. This can be a good option to help counteract a lot of the damage to your hair caused by summer.

2. It’s A 10 Miracle Leave-in Product
This leave-in spray claims to help dull and damaged hair by smoothing hair, eliminating frizz, restoring shine, and enhancing the natural body. I’ve seen this product on many top 10 lists from relaxed hair vloggers and bloggers. I've never tried it myself but I do really like one of the serums this brand has.

3. Design Essentials Agave & Lavender Hair Bath
I recently started using this hair bath or shampoo and love it! It lathers really well and cleans my hair without making it feel dry living up to what it claims

4. TGIN Miracle RepaiRx Deep Hydrating Hair Mask
This is a thick hair mask but it's very hydrating. It's great at smoothing out and softening the hair. You can't go wrong with a good hair masque.
5. Single-use hair product packets
Not only are these cheap but they are a great way to introduce people to your favorite hair brand or hair conditioner.

6. TGIN Moisture Rich Sulfate Free Shampoo
This is one of my favorite shampoos to use on my relaxed hair. It’s a great sulfate-free way to remove some product build-up.

7. Eva NYC Freshen Up Dry Shampoo
I don’t use dry shampoos often, but this one is very light and didn’t irritate my scalp, or leave any residue on my dark hair.
Where to buy
This is supposed to be one of the top heat protectants out there and consistently has good reviews. It claims to have positively charged silk molecules that can interlock into hair's natural structure to build strength and resilience and improve moisture and shine.
This can be found under $20 when you get the trial or travel size.
Where to buy
This is another top product in the hair community. It claims to help protect the hair from heat styling while its exclusive Super Skinny Complex displaces water and constricts hair to speed up drying and styling. It's also supposed to be humidity-resistant and leaves hair shiny and manageable.
While the full-size bottle is usually over $20 you can buy it in a smaller or travel size that is under $20.

It’s been a while since I’ve used this brand but I remember liking how this dry oil made my hair feel.

11. OGX Renewing Argan Oil Of Morocco Extra Strength Penetrating Oil Dry, Coarse Hair
Since I liked the sister of this product as noted above, I can only imagine what my hair would feel like after using the Extra Strength version.

Hair accessories
12. Square hair claw clips
I love claw clips because they are so easy to use and come in many sizes, colors, and patterns. Plus, they can be used to dress up or dress down your hair.
This year, I've noticed the square claw clips are really in. I see them everywhere, at work, church, and out shopping. This is a great practical and cheap hair care gift to get.
Where to buy
I've been using these on my hair for a little while and I like them because they provide a strong hold but don't get too tight. I also like that they come in multiple colors including some neutrals. Despite the claim of them not leaving a kink in the hair, they have for me but it's not as defined as regular hair ties leave.
Where to buy
If the Invisibobble doesn't feel quite right for the person you're buying for, maybe satin scrunchies will. This hair accessory is making a comeback because of how gentle they are on the hair, the fun and pretty patterns and colors they come in, and how they can go with whatever you're wearing.

15. Bobby pins
Cause who doesn’t need bobby pins? They always seem to disappear so you can't go wrong with gifting these. Plus, you can get bobby pins in fun colors, interesting patterns, and different sizes,
Where to buy
16. Flat claw clips
Earlier I mentioned how I like square claw clips because of how many different sizes and colors they come in. Well, my new claw clip favorite is the flat claw clip. The great thing about these is they don't stick out so I lay my head back on my car seat and when sitting on my couch.
You can find them in various colors as well.

Hair tools
17. Microfiber hair towels
While I personally think an old cotton T-shirt is a better option for drying your hair, a microfiber towel is a good alternative. Most of these microfiber towels are moisture-wicking to better absorb excess water and they cut down on overall drying time. Some even have a compact design so they take up less space in the washing machine. As a bonus, they come in pretty colors.
Where to buy
18. Scalp or shampoo brush
One of the best parts of getting your hair done at the hair salon is getting it washed because of the scalp massage that comes with it. By giving the gift of a scalp brush or shampoo brush you're giving the gift of an at-home scalp massage.
Where to buy
19. Travel jars
While these aren’t exactly the jars I use for travel I can say that these are imperative if you’re planning to carry on and want to take your hair products with you.Where to buy
20. Satin pillowcase
Cotton pillowcases aren't great for hair because they can absorb moisture from the hair and dry it out. Also, cotton pillowcases can cause friction on the strands when your hair rubs against it. Satin pillowcases are a great alternative because they don't do either of those things.

21. Store gift cards
A $20 gift card at Sally Beauty or Ulta can buy a couple of great products such as shampoo and conditioner.

That's great. I haven't tried the Invisibobble or a similar hair tie but I've heard good first hand reviews from people who have. So it's on my list of products to try.
DeleteYesss, I can never have enough bobby pins cause they always magically disappear somehow! This is a great post!
ReplyDeleteRight?! It's amazing how quickly a pack of 100 bobby pins disappears.
