Thick Hair Routine

I have very thick, highlighted hair that is a little coarse.  It also tends to frizz and become very brittle.  This is all about my hair regimen to keep is soft and healthy looking. 

My hair tends to get used to the same shampoo/conditioner so it's important for me to change it up!  I alternate between Infusium 23 shampoo/conditioner and Dove Moisturizing shampoo/conditioner.

Infusium 23 Moisturizing is amazing! It's smells super fresh and gently cleanses my hair without making it feel oily afterwards.  It lathers like no body's business, too!  I use the shampoo, conditioner, and leave in treatment.  I apply the leave in treatment after I shampoo & condition at night.  This alone has really replenished my hair!


After I finish the Infusium 23 shampoo and conditioner I use Dove Moisturizing shampoo/conditioner.  I love this line!  It really softens my hair and makes it smooth and soft.  You get great lather and it smells great!  The only thing with this shampoo is that you really need to make sure you rinse really well, otherwise it looks like it builds up in your roots....GROSS, right?


I usually wash my hair at night so the conditioner has time to work while I sleep.  To keep my hair frizz free and super soft I use Organix Moroccan Argan Oil for Coarse Hair (it's different than the original formula).  This stuff is amazing!  I apply it to the ends of my hair in the mornings after I wet it and before I fix it.  What a difference!



Another great thing that I use on my hair (especially in the summer time) is extra virgin olive oil.  I take a nickel size amount and smooth on my hands and apply directly to the driest part of my hair.  Believe it or not, your hair soaks this up and it looks unbelievably shiny and soft!
