Two of my must-have hair products for the colder months are Bumble & Bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil and Primer. My hair tends to dry out pretty easily this time of year, becoming more fragile and delicate, so I find that it's super important to take the extra steps necessary for added nourishment and protection. The primer is a great multitasking pre-styler, so use this first if you have plans to style with other products and tools. Both the oil and primer contain six super lightweight oils (grapeseed, safflower seed, sweet almond, macadamia nut, argan, and coconut) that work to soften & smooth, detangle and de-frizz, and protect against breakage from heat & UV damage. By putting the primer in a spray bottle, Bumble & Bumble allows for a light application that will not weigh your hair down. In fact, sometimes I'll spritz it into my damp hair as a leave-in conditioner, and be on my way! With the oil, on the other hand, a little goes a long way, so careful not to over apply! It's my go-to in evenings (post-shower), so that my hair can soak up the oils overnight while I sleep, and look fresh and healthy come morning!

If you're like me, you don't like washing your hair every day (or even every other day). It's better for your hair to skip a day or two anyways, but sometimes it's hard to keep it from looking dirty or greasy. Ouai Haircare is a new line by hairstylist Jen Atkin, and I can say from personal experience that the dry shampoo is totally legit. It allows you to get that extra day or two out of a wash by soaking up the grease, while giving your roots a bit of added texture. Even better is that it doesn't leave any weird color behind, and smells lovely as well! She collaborated with industry experts in both formulation & design, and the result is pure genius. Jen says "With OUAI, I wanted to create 'a breath of fresh hair'- a line for real life, fo real women". This rings true in the effectiveness and affordability of her products. Next up on my must-try list are the texturizing hair spray and wave spray.

Ever since I got a platinum blonde pixie cut for the Balenciaga show several years ago, which was so fun & different by the way, I've been slowly but surely growing out my hair. Jae Manuel Cardenas at Sally Hershberger Downtown keeps my locks looking clean & healthy, while giving a subtle shaping & cut every few months. Frequent trims are the key to keeping your hair looking its best, and Viviscal supplements don't hurt either!
