The answer to that is yes! Product is everything. It can be the difference between beautiful soft locks and a boring frumpy do.
Some people think that if they don’t heat-style their hair, it means that they don’t need to use products. But that is definitely a myth! This doesn’t mean you have to go to the store and buy 15 different products for each hairstyle—there are a few products that are great for any hair type and style!
My go to product for any hair type is the Aveda Dry Remedy Oil. I love this stuff! It’s extremely concentrated, so you only need about two drops on fine hair and three to five on medium to coarser hair. This product can be used on wet or dry hair and helps moisturize, soften, and reduce frizz. It’s great for wash and go or heat-styling.
Another product that I find extremely versatile is Brilliant Damage Control. It is a light-weight product that comes in a mist form. It’s used as a heat protectant, detangler, and helps protect your hair from damage due to UV rays. You can apply this product on towel-dried hair.
The last product that I’m going to touch on is the Light Elements Defining Whip. Defining Whip is for dry hair only and is a great way to finish your style. Whether you have air-dried your hair and want to seal your natural wave or curl, or you have just blow-dried your hair sleek and straight, this is the product to use! Its mousse-like qualities provide the perfect smooth finish to conceal frizz and fly-aways without weighing your hair down.
