5 Can’t Live Without Drug Store Hair Products
1. I use Coconut Oil
right out of the shower. Experiment with how much you prefer and remember: a little goes a long way! I put a teeny tiny amount, not quite pea-sized, into my palm, rub it all over my hands and fingers, then press the oil in the very ends of my hair.
2. I use this Heat Protectant
if I’m going to blow-dry, curl, or flat iron my hair. Here’s a great tutorial for a DIY Blow Out.
3. This is my go-to Hairspray
. It’s inexpensive, holds up well, and can be found almost everywhere.
4. I use this Conditioning Treatment
in the shower every other week.
5. This is my favorite Dry Shampoo
, hands down! I’ve tried fancier brands and brands that are similarly priced and I ALWAYS go back to this! Because of dry shampoo I can go several days between washing my hair- this is HUGE for two reasons. One, I have a toddler and I don’t always have the luxury of taking a long shower. Unless she is in there with me I’m stressing about what she might be getting into! Two, I have some crazy long hair. Washing and drying over and over causes damage that can make long hair start to look rough and thin. The less I wash, the longer I can keep my long locks looking great. I also use dry shampoo to get my braids, like this one, to hold all day!

I have added coconut oil to my diet, but never thought to try it on the ends of my hair. I might just have to do that one of these days.
coconut oil is my bff! great post
pinning for all my friends to see! xo, jess @ dreamingofleaving.com
I need to try coconut oil on my hair. I tend to have dry hair.
There is also an Aussie 3 Minute Miracle for extra dry hair, give it a try!
I’m also totally going to suggest Got 2 Be’s angel heat protectant for people with super thick hair. I can turn my flat iron up to where I need it to go now as long as I’ve got a bottle handy!
Great tip! My hair is super fine and naturally pretty straight so it doesn’t take much heat to get it to respond!
I agree with you on all of these!!
I use Argan oil rt out of the shower, but I bet coconut oil works much the same way. If I start heat processing my hair I will remember that treatment.
I bet Argan oil works a lot like coconut oil- I tried Argan a few times but never found a good amount for my hair. It always seemed to travel straight up the shaft and make it look greasy really fast. I rarely use heat on my hair but I love this heat protector for when I do!
Wow, I don’t use hardly anything on my hair. It goes in a braid everyday. Guess I may need to do some experimenting.
Sometimes less is more
I like these products because they don’t cost much so if you don’t like them, you aren’t out much.
I love my dry shampoo! I have it stocked at all times. Never know when you might need it
I too love the Aussie conditioner! I have meaning to try the Suave Dry Shampoo. With your endorsement, I will definitely seek it out.
Suave is my fave! I hope you love it!
Thanks for this post! I always need some hair tips. These products looks great. I never thought to put coconut oil in my hair after showering.
Coconut oil has so many great uses- this is one of my favorites
I’ll definitely be trying this dry shampoo! Thanks for the great (and affordable!) suggestions.
You’re welcome! I love finding products that don’t break the bank!
