Top Ten Hair Shampoos and Conditioners For Fall.

  • Posted on October 5, 2009 at 8:09 pm

Ok, with the spirit of the awards season still going strong and getting ready for the holidays and all of the top ten lists, I am declaring this list week here on the number 1, sorry couldn’t resist, Hair Care Blog in the world!  So lets get going with our top ten hair shampoos and conditioners for the fall starting with our best selling and personal favorite shampoos and conditioners.

10. Alterna Life Volume Restore Shampoo.  This shampoo from Alterna isn’t just organic and sulfate free, it is also one of the most amazing and best shampoos you can buy to not only help repair and restore your hair, but also add in volume and life so it is perfect for people with dry, dull and lifeless hair.  Alternas Live Volume Restore Shampoo promotes healthy keratin formation and helps to fight against hair loss and baldness and because the fall is when it starts getting cold and you need that hair to help keep your head warm, the Alterna Life Volume Restore Shampoo makes our Top Ten List.

9.  Aquage Silkening Shampoo is our number nine pick for the top shampoos and conditioners for Fall.  This shampoo is amazing for helping to smooth and create a silk like feeling in coarse, dry, frizzy and curly hair.  You can use this shampoo to not only help make your hair more manageable, but also help to get your hair looking and feeling like silk.  This product is also a color safe and protecting shampoo and is sulfate free.  Aquage Silkening Shampoo is our number 9 pick for the best shampoos and conditioners for the fall.

8.  Brocato Peppermint Purifying Scrub Shampoo is our number 8 pick…although I think it should have been much higher.    Brocato is one of the best and most popular shampoo and hair product makers in the USA.  I know a ton of women and men who swear by their products and the Brocato Peppermint Purifying Scrub is probably one of my favorites from their line of products.  I love anything minty in the morning for my hair because it not only helps to wake you up in the morning, but it also has a fresh clean and crisp feeling and smell to it so you can wake up every morning feeling fresh, clean and ready for the day.  I love the Brocato Peppermint Purifying Scrub Shampoo and know you will to if you give it a try.

7.  Alterna The Science of Ten Conditioner.  This is one of the only hair products I have ever seen on the market that claims to work from the first time you use it and almost instantly and there are a ton of testimonials online complaining about the price of the conditioner and shampoo but also going crazy about how well it worked on their hair and how it had actually helped them repair and condition their hair instantly.  Because of all of the damage you do to your hair in the summer time with swimming and being outdoors, this is a definite conditioner that you need to have and use for the fall so you can prep and help get your hair healthy again  for the winter.  Alterna the Science of Ten Conditioner is our number 7 pick for the top shampoos and conditioners for fall.

6.  Matrix Biolage Strengthening Conditioner makes our top ten list in the number 6 spot.    Not only is this a great conditioner to help repair damaged hair and hair that you completely abused during the summer, but it is also one of the most affordable salon quality product lines available to the public.  Because if it’s effectiveness to do what it says it will do and its affordability to the general public the Matrix Biolage Strenghtening Conditioner makes it in the number 6 spot on our top ten shampoos and conditioners list.

5.  Bumble and Bumble Creme de Coco Shampoo.   Ok, if you cannot let summer go or need that extra boost of tropical smells and pina coladas, then the Bumble and Bumble Creme de Coco Shampoo is probably the perfect shampoo for you.  Not only does it smell amazing like coconuts, but it also uses coconut milks in it to help smooth and make your hair stronger, shinier and help your hair to look and feel a lot healthier.  We love the Bumble and Bumble Creme De Coco Conditioner and if you can’t let the tropical summer or vacations go, then you need to buy this shampoo and you’ll be able to enjoy a tropical morning every morning when you wake up and shower with your new coconut based shampoo and conditioner.

4.  Rusk Purifying and Deep Cleansing Shampoo makes our list in the number 4 spot.  This is one of the most amazing shampoos for deep cleaning from Rusk.  It is made with extracts from Teas and from Cucurbita.  Not only does this shampoo help to deep clean your hair, but it also helps to make it look and feel healthier and stronger and this is also a personal favorite for its smell by a few people here in our office.   The Rusk Purifying and Deep Cleansing Shampoo is our number 4 pick for the best shampoos and conditioners for fall.

3.  Kerastase Bain Age Recharge Shampoo is our number three pick for the best shampoo and conditioner for fall.  Not only is this one of the best products available from Kerastase, but it is also not extremely affordable since it is now on sale here at Hair Care Discounters.  Kerastase Bain Age Recharge Shampoo is an amazing shampoo that will help to recharge and get your aging and damaged hair looking and feeling young and alive again.  Because of its almost instant results for many people who have used this shampoo, it is in our number 3 spot.

2.  Sebastian Pentraitt Shampoo is our number two best shampoo and conditioner for fall.  Not only is it the perfect shampoo for color treated hair, but it helps to protect your color as well as help to repair the damage done from coloring it.  This is one of the most overlooked shampoos for people with color treated hair and if you color your hair a lot or have color damage, we highly recommend you give the Sebastian Penetraitt Shampoo a try and see how amazing it can be not only for your hair but also for your color.   If you have colored hair, you have to try this shampoo.

1.  Our number one best shampoo and conditioner for fall is by far one of the hardest to find.  It is MoroccanOil Shampoo and Conditioner.  Not only do these products work amazingly well, but they also contain the argan oil extracts that everyone in the world is going crazy for and because of the demand for the oil and how rare it is, the products price keeps going up.  However, even though it is a bit pricey right now, it is completely worth the money for the MoroccanOil Shampoo and Conditioner.  The shampoo and conditioner are safe for all hair types, work with your hair color and colored hair, help to repair damage and help get your hair looking and feeling amazing again,,,or give it that extra boost of life that it needed….not to mention the products look and smell great too.  MoroccanOil is probably the best product line at affordable prices right now and because of how amazing this product line works on soo many people, the MoroccanOil Shampoo and Conditioner are our number one pick for the best shampoo and conditioner for the fall.

Although we love a lot more shampoos and conditioners, we could only pick ten for our top ten list, however there are a millio other shampoos and conditioners out there and a lot more available at Hair Care Discounters so if you don’t like any of the shampoos and conditioners that we mentioned here in this post, visit our site and find a lot more options for you and your hair type or even find a new one that you have never tried and you can also use the hair care discounters coupon code 7off70 until 10/31/09 to save 7% off your purchase of $70 or more and get free shipping and a free gift with your purchase of $70 or more.

Rusk W8less Plus Extra Hold Shaping and Control Myst

Rusk W8less Plus Extra Hold Shaping and Control Myst

Rusk W8less Plus Extra Hold Shaping and Control Myst

Rusk W8less Extra Hold Shaping and Control Myst is one of my favorite hair sprays.  Although it isn’t technially a hairspray but it is actually a hair shaping myst because of the way it sprays from the can, it still works and acts just like a normal extra hold hairspray would, except this one does not leave your hair wet and greasy looking and it also does not freeze your hair and making it so you actually feel it stuck on your head.

Instead, the Rusk W8less extra hold shaping and control myst mysts around your hair covering it in the hair spray and then dries on so that you can have your entire look covered in spray and then when it dries it actually freezes your hair in place, but since it was mysted on to your hair, it feel light and most of the time you won’t even be able to tell you are wearing it which is why this is a w8less product from Rusk….and one of our favorite hairsprays to recommmend.

The Rusk W8less extra hold hairspray is also perfect if you like your hair to not be frozen but be able to move around and hold shape.  If you want to turn it into a medium hold so it has movement, all you have to do is brush it out after it dries and all of the sudden you have a strong and moveable hold.

We love the Rusk w8less extra hold shaping and control myst and know that you are going to love it too….buy it here today and save as we always have the Rusk W8less extra hold shaping and control myst on sale.

What is the best hairspray and why? 5 Hairsprays Compared.

  • Posted on August 18, 2009 at 9:46 pm

So there are soo many types of hairsprays out there and all of them claim to be the best.  But which hairspray really is the best hairspray on the market and which one should you buy.  The answer is actually very simple, choose the hairspray that is designed to do what you would like it to do.

If you need serious hold, buy an extreme hold hairspray, if you need to be able to change your hair style half way through the day, buy a spray that allows you to do that.  If you color treat your hair, buy one that protects color and doesn’t do any more damage to your hair.  There are tons of hairsprays out there and hairsprays that do a huge variety of things and the answer to which one you should choose is just to choose one that does what you need and what you are looking for and also works for your hair.

Now that is a simple answer, however there are still a million hairsprays to choose from so I have selected my top five favorite hairsprays and will compare them for you to help you find which hairspray may be the best one for you and your hair.  So here is my favorite top 5 hairsprays and what you can use them for.

Sebastian Re Shaper Hairspray

Sebastian Re Shaper Hairspray

Sebastian Re Shaper Hairspray is my number one pick.  It is not only a personal preferrance for hairsprays, but it allows the user soo much versatility.  Here are the benefits of using Sebastian’s Re-Shaper Hairspray.

Sebastian Re Shaper:

  • Allows you to easily change hairstyles throughout the day and still hold your hair
  • Lets your be able to brush through your hair and it will allow you to maintain your style
  • Hold your style in heavy humidity
  • Is a weightless formula so you don’t have a heavy hairdo and hairstyle on top of your head
  • Helps you to control frizzy hair
  • Is a solid holding spray that will keep your style all day
  • Can be combined with a Gel to create a wet look
  • Can be air dried and used with heated appliances to give you a natural look
  • Can  be applied to damp or dry hair
  • Allows for movement and non stiff or sticky hold
Tri Aerogel Styling Spray

Tri Aerogel Styling Spray

So the Tri Aerogel Styling Spray is one of the newest and hottest hairsprays on the market today.   What makes this spray different is that instead of being an actual hairspray it is a hair gel base that is in an aerosol can and although it would technically be a spray gel and not a hair spray, it also actually comes out as a mist and not a spray so it is technically a hair misting styling spray, but because of how it holds and the look and feel, I think it is appropriate to include the Tri Aerogel Styling Spray in the hairspray category for this post.  And it technically is a spray that styles your hair and does spray so it does sort of count.

Tri Aerogel Styling Spray:

  • Is a gel based hair styling product
  • Sprays like a mist instead of a hard and heavy spray
  • Is safe for all hair types
  • Gives you a moveable non stiff hold
  • Allows you to still be able to brush your hair and style it, unlike actual hair gel
  • Works great to hold fine hair in place
  • Works as a root lifter and a fixative as well
Rusk W8less Plus Extra Hold Shaping And Control Myst 10 Oz

Rusk W8less Plus Extra Hold Shaping And Control Myst 10 Oz

Rusk w8less extra hold shaping and control myst is an amazing hairspray that uses a weightless formula to hold your hair and allows your to combine it with other stylign prodicts for a wet sleek look or if you use it alone you can get a natural look that holds.

The extra hold formula in the Rusk W8less Hairspray gives you all day and evening hold and this is one that also does not have a greasy or sticky feeling and mess with it.

Rusk W8less Extra Hold and Control Myst:

  • W8less formula that does not feel heavy
  • No greasy or sticky feeling
  • Mysts onto your hair instead of spraying all over
  • Adds in a natural shine
  • Safe to use on wet hair or dry hair
  • Can be used with heated appliances like Hairdryers
Alterna Hemp Volume Locking Spray

Alterna Hemp Volume Locking Spray

This is one of our very favorite hairsprays at Haircare Discounters.  Alterna Hemp Volume Locking Spray not only has hemp seed oils in it to strengthen and protect your hair from damage, but the oils actually add in a natural shine and because this is one of their volume products, you know you are going to get amazing body and hold without your hair deflating.

Alterna Hemp Volume Locking Spray:

  • Great for use on all hair types
  • Hemp Seed Oil strengthens your hair and adds in shine
  • Does not have a greasy or sticky feeling
  • Lightweight formula
  • Provides a firm hold
  • Locks in volume to help protect your hair from deflating
  • Contains the Alterna Enzymetherapy formulas
Brocato Moveable Hold Hairspray

Brocato Moveable Hold Hairspray

Brocato is an amazing hair product line that is not new to the market, but is new to many people.  Their products become addictive as they deliver exactly what they say they will and that is why soo many people love them.  Although there are a few different hairsprays from Brocato, the one I am enjoyng most right now is the Brocato Moveable Hold Hairspray. If you want a stronger longer hold, they do offer a stronger holding spray which is available at Haircare Discounters as well.

Brocato Moveable Hold Hairspray:

  • Gives you moveable hold
  • Infused with Wheat and Keratin Proteins to protect your hair
  • Great for most hair types

Find Sebastian WET Sleek Hold Liquid Gel In Stock Here

  • Posted on August 13, 2009 at 12:37 am

Something that shocked me today was finding out that apparently Sebastian, one of the most fabulous product lines of hair products, has apparently decided to take one of their most popular products off of the market.  Whether this is true or not is one thing, but one thing is for sure, as of today we still have 6 pallets of Sebastian WET Sleek Hold Liquid Gel and if this product has been canceled we will definitely be picking up some more so we can have it in stock as long as possible for all of you.

Sebastian WET sleek hold liquid gel

Sebastian WET Sleek Hold Liquid Gel

So what makes this product so popular, well besides that it was created by Sebastian?

That is simple, most hair gels are just clumpy or not so smooth.  They leave your hair heavy and your hands sticky and your forehead and scalp dirty.  I know that when I used to use gel I hated the way it left my scalp feeling caked and heavy and when I would go out if it was a hot day, the gel would feel like it was melting and start running down my face.

I hated this feeling and it wasn’t until I stopped using gel because of the mess that it created that I ended up discovering Sebastian WET sleek hold liquid gel which if I would have found would have kept me using gel on my hair.  Now, sometimes I do use gel on my own hair if the style calls for it and the hair gel I reach for first is the Sebastian WET sleek hold liquid gel which is why I am in shock that this product has been rumored to be discontinued. However, since this rumor is out there, I am going to buy a few extra bottles of Sebastian WET sleek hold liquid gel for myself just in case, but don’t worry because when we checked out inventory after hearing this news we do have 6 pallets and will be looking for more to help keep Sebastian WET sleek hold liquid gel in stock so you can have it for a long time as well.

Another reason that people love the Sebsatian Wet Gel so much is that even though it is meant to be put on wet or damp hair, if you apply it and then brush it and blow dry it out, you’ll find that you can still get all of the benefits of this hair gel, but your hair will not have that sleek wet look and be able to move around a bit more and be able to hold it’s shape and still have some texture to it.

The holding power of Sebastian WET gel on both wet and dry hair is the main reason people love this product and this hold allows it to be versatile and work on many different hairstyles for both men and women and that is why I was in shock when I heard it may be discontinued.  So buy Sebastian WET Sleek Hold Liquid Gel today just in case this rumor is true.

Now suppose we would run out of this gel for some reason, there is another hair gel that I do like from Rusk and it is just as fabulous in that it is a weightless formula as well and can be used just as easily and is as versatile as the Sebastian WET Sleek Hold Liquid Gel.

Rusk Jel FX

Rusk Jel FX

Rusk Special FX Jel has the power to hold your hair just like the Sebastian Jel, except instead of being a light weight formula, Rusk is a weightless formula and has all of the same holding power and versatility of the Sebastian Gels.

Now, although I did say I only use the Sebastian Gel above, I secretly do love the Rusk gel just as much.  Both products are perfect and if for some reason the Sebastian gel is discontinued, the perfect substitute product is the Rusk Jel FX and I encourage you to buy a tube of it just to try and test it out so that if the Sebastian is discontinued you will be prepared with a back up hair gel that you will love just as much.

You can currently buy both the Sebastian Wet Gel and Rusk Jel FX on HaircareDiscounters.com and we encourage you to change them out and see how you can use both equally as well and they both hold and look just as fabulous as each other.

If Sebastian has discontinued this product, lets hope that they have an equally as fabulous new hair gel coming out but in case they do not, try the Rusk and we know that you will love this product just as much if not more.  So in case Sebastian has sold out of their wet gel, buy Rusk Jel FX Here.

How to do a Mens Hairstyle that is professional & executive looking

How to do a Mens Hairstyle that is professional & executive looking

So ladies and gentlemen, something most moms and girlfriends wonder about their sons or boyfriends, even husbands sometimes is “Does the man in my life dress appropriate and is his hair professional looking enough to be looked at repectfully at work?”  Sure we may not want to admit it out loud and some of us may just let it go, but if you were ever in my family, you would hear it on a daily basis, “Hunny, your hair looks a mess, fix it up nice and neat so that people will take you serious!”

My mom would say that to my dad, she would say it to my friends and really just about anyone who didn’t have a hairstyle that she would think was proper and professional enough for the workplace, so I figured why not share a hairstyle that is still hip and trendy, sexy enough to wear out after work to a happy hour and is easy enough to do that you can have your hair done within 2 minutes!  Because we know, most guys usually don’t want to take to long (or at least admit to having to spend to much time) on their hair and appearance.

So this post is designed to help you help all the men in your life have a hairstyle that is professional enough to stand in front of an executive team with, fun and youthfull enough to go to a happy hour or party in and still classy enough to feel good about yourself in.  It is perfect for men from the age of 20 to 60.

Now this hairstyle does require a few things:

1. Short hair.  Anything hanging below your ears is a bit to long.

2. Product – I use a lasting hairspray that will get through the day and start to break in the evening.  (You can always redo this if you want it to stay the same at night, remember it only takes two minutes to do and can be done anywhere!)

3.  Two minutes from your day in the morning after you get dressed.

Anyways, here is how to do this mens professional hairstyle in two minutes time and the products I use.

1.  Start by washing your hair:

curly sexy hair shampoo

curly sexy hair shampoo

I wash mine every day but if you do every other day or every two days, this style will still work well for you, if not easier.  You just won’t have as many defined lines in your bangs or on your head, instead you will have thicker strands.

I used Curly Sexy Hair Shampoo and Conditioner for this hairstyle this morning, mainly because I like the thickness of the product and how it leaves my hair when I finish styling it.  Curly Sexy Hair Shampoo and Curly Sexy Hair Conditioner seem to help me add extra volume to my hair, which I love because it becomes soo much easier to style Mens Professional Hairstyles with and because it is easier for me to shape since I do not use any tool or appliances like brushes or combs or dryers on this hairstyle.

Since many peoples hair does have some natural curl in it anyways, with the volume that this shampoo and conditioner set adds to your hair, and it’s ability to emphasize the curls and help to enrich them, I am almost tempted to say that it also helps with the end step of curling the bangs instead of having front forward spikes which is more of a teenage and punk type of do.
