Hi loves! Today, I’m sharing my go to hair products every woman needs to have in their arsenal. We all have those daily questions. What products to use? Which should I have? Am I missing something? What helps keep my hair looking good longer without washing? I’ll admit I was trying so many products wondering which were good and bad? Changed shampoos and I’ll admit some worked for a while then started damaging my hair.
I definitely have put my hair through the ringer with all the trial and error, but I finally realized which products are the best for you to use and have. I created this blog to help the everyday girl. To do the trial and error for you and then give you my best recommendations. My 4 go to hair products are as follow and let me know in the comments which products are your favorite and what are your go to hair products?

Dry Shampoo
I honestly didn’t start using dry shampoo until like a year ago. How? I would honestly wash my hair daily. Horrible! I know. My hair would get so oily the next day and with working out almost 5 days a week it was impossible for me not to wash my hair daily. That was until I found Monat and dry shampoo and now can go like 3-4 day without washing my hair. Dry shampoo is honestly my top go to hair products to have for in between washes. I use 3 different dry shampoos. There are each at a different price level so you can choose between my top favorites.
- Monat’s Studio One The Champ Conditioning Dry Shampoo ($34.00)
- Living Proof’s Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo ($25.00)
- Garnier Fructis Invisible Dry Shampoo ($6.99)
These all have worked great for my hair type – thick, straight and colored. They also smell great too and don’t leave a white residue behind. Dry shampoo has literally been a game charger for me in regard to next day hair or even for right after the gym once my hair dries up a bit. Monat’s the best in my opinion because is vegan and free of all the parabens and phthalates. I understand it’s expensive but it’s for the quality but if not, I love Living Proof’s and Garnier Fructis dry shampoos as well. Both smell great and truly work and even volumize my hair.
Moroccan Oil
One of my favorite go to hair products is Moroccan oil, because it helps promote softer, stronger hair with increased shine and less frizz. It works for all hair types and is a lightweight serum, so it won’t weigh down your hair. I use after I style my hair and apply it to my hands and then brush it through my hair especially my ends. It adds a shine and doesn’t have any parabens and is free of sulfates, which I love a good clean vegan product!
You can also use this Moroccan oil on your hair before blow drying it to help tame the frizz and create a nice shine. I have the 0.85 oz bottle and it has lasted me a whole year and it was only $15.00. There are many good hair oil serums out there but my favorite and best one is hands down the MoroccanOil treatment, you can check them out at Sephora.
Hair Spray
Another one of my go to favorite hair products is hair spray. We all use it probably daily to finish our hair style so which ones are the best? I use hair spray very lightly to hold my style in place. I live in the hot, humid weather of South Florida so I need a hair spray that is going to help my hairstyle last longer. I prefer a flex hold hairspray, because it holds for my hair and allows me to still style my hair after I spray. I found these three hairspray work the best and don’t leave my hair feeling hard or sticky.
- Monat’s Studio One Strong Flexi-Hold Hairspray ($48.00)
- Living Proof Style Lab Flex Hairspray ($27.00)
- Aussie Mega Hairspray ($5.49)
Heat Protectant
Finally, my favorite of all of my go to hair products is heat protectant. Why? It’s the most important one honestly! If you’re using heat tools on your hair without anything on it, you’re bluntly damaging and hurting your hair. PERIOD! It’s super important to keep your hair safe and protected while using any heat tool. I have colored hair, so it’s already damaged from the dye, so I prevent further damage by using a heat protectant. This is definitely the most important hair product to have in general if you use heating tools. Here are my three favorite brands:
- Monat’s Studio One Thermal Protect Styling Shield ($39.00)
- Bumble and Bumble Glow Thermal Protection Mist ($32.00)
- Tresemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray ($5.49)
That’s my list of my 4 go to hair products every woman should have: dry shampoo, Moroccan oil, hairspray, and heat protectant. These all work together to help you also go longer without washing your hair. I’ve learned by washing my hair daily I was slowly drying my hair out of all the nutrients it needs daily and causing the oily, greasy mess I’d have the next day.
I’m glad that now I only wash my hair 2-3 times a week. All these products have a soft fragrance to add to your hair as well and make it SO MUCH EASIER to go longer days without washing. But now I want to know what your favorite products are. So, let me know in the comments and have a great hair day!
XOXO
