As editor of Blissful Style, I often get to review salon or specialty hair products, which is very fun for me.  Some of these I’ve loved and have written reviews of.  One or two I’ve even decided I can’t live without.  But as I’m a sensible, frugal girl, I still have quite a few favorite products that can be found at your neighborhood drugstore. Lucky for you, I’m going to share my picks with you!

Infusium 23 (frizz)ologie is my favorite shampoo and conditioner.  It’s actually a three-step set, including a leave-in treatment as well.  My hair is dry and definitely has frizzy tendencies but this stuff leaves it soft and tame! Plus it smells wooonderful.  Infusium has other formulas for different types of hair including (repair)ologie, and  (colour)ologie.  I highly recommend this brand, which retails for about $6-$7 a bottle at drugstores and mass retailers.

Garnier Fructis Style Wonder Waves Spray and Mousse are two of my newest favorite products. I bought them after I discovered how to work with my wavy hair using the Remington Emi hair dryer (which I reviewed here), and they both work great.  I use the mousse when my hair is wet before I style to help mywaves stay in, and I use the spray when I need to wet down my hair and re-style it after sleeping on it (we dry-haired girls don’t wash every day! Don’t judge me.)  I love both of these products and they also smell great in addition to working well!  These retail for $3-$4 at drugstores and mass retailers.

Dove Intense Damage Therapy Heat Shield Styling Spray is a product I discovered by chance when grocery shopping at Kroger.  It was on clearance and I had a coupon; I bought it on a whim and now I love it!  I spray it on my hair before I blow dry it or as I’m flat-ironing it, and it really protects my hair from the heat of the appliances. It’s not sticky, it’s lightweight, and it works!  You can also get this for about $3-$4.

Tresemme Two Ultra Fine Mist Hair Spray is the. best. hairspray. EVER.  It has great hold, it’s not sticky, it works for hours and hours, and really protects against humidity. LOVE it!   And it’s usually about $4-ish.  CVS often has Tresemme products 3/$10.  You can’t beat that price!

Ellin Lavar Detangle Mist is a leave-in conditioner/detangler spray that I like using on my hair when I need to wet it down when I’m refreshing my style.  It helps take care of any dryness or frizzies I’m having and preps my hair to be re-styled. I also use it to detangle my daughter’s hair all the time. It works great and smells awesome too!  This brand is available only at CVS and is regular priced at $7.99, but is often on sale for less.

So, those are my favorite over-the-counter, readily available hair care products.  What are yours?
