My favourite hairproducts

Ever since I got into puberty my Dutch day-to-day motto has been 'als je haar maar goed zit', which badly translated means 'if your hair's allright'. I started caring for hair care products and fancy hairdressers before I got into fashion or makeup, at about age 11. I spent my allowance on conditioners instead of candy, and my stepmom took me to Bob Kölling for coloring.

With 6 years of experience I have kept a couple of favourites in my hair routine, products I couldn't live without anymore! So I'm going to tell you what they are and what they do.

1. Charles Worthington takeaways sun-shine shampoo and conditioner.
The first step in your hair routine - shampoo and condition! I love this shampoo and conditioner from Cherles Worthington because it makes my hair clean (no need to shampoo three times as with some) and soft and it makes it more straight. The only downside is that they come in small 1.7 oz bottles and are quite pricey for the amount you get!

2. Farouk BioSilk Silk Therapy
The second step in my routine is a serum! I've tried just about everything, from Tigi GirlToys to TOM to Andrélon to the famous John Frieda Frizz-Ease - BioSilk is without a doubt the best. As other serums can make your hair very greasy, BioSilk does not (unless you squeeze the entire tube on your head of course). This is my holy grail of hair products, it makes it visibly more shiny and gets rid of flyaways, and it will also condition your hair so it gets even softer! BioSilk can be a bit pricey but the 1.7 oz tube lasted me for months when applying a couple of drops to damp hair every day.

3. Tigi Bed Head After Party
Once my hair is dry I like using After Party smoothing cream from Tigi after straightening. I love this stuff! It smells kind of funky like sweets but it's not too overpowering after you've put it in your hair. This gets rid of the last flyaways and smooths my hair right into a celebrity hairdo! (Also, don't you think the packaging is fun? Another reason why I love Tigi!)

4. Frédéric Fekkai Protein RX
I bought this hairmask after my hairdresser absolutely fried my hair by coloring. It looked and felt horrible, but this mask really has helped to get my hair smooth and shiny again! It cost me quite a bit (about $40) but it was worth it. Massage in your hair and put some foil and a warm towel on top and leave for +- one hour for the best result!

5. Tigi Bed Head Headrush shine spray
And if after using all of those products I still don't think my hair is shiny enough, I use Headrush hairspray. It doesn't have the best results on blonde hair, but quite a bit on dark hair. I still use it because of the smell of it - you'll be sniffing your hair all day!
