Sell me your 1 must have hair 'superproduct'

[HaveAGoodDay]

Within reasonable budget, so basically under a tenner!!!
My hair is just past my shoulders, probably over-dyed, in not too great condition, so a bit dry & split. I do blow dry it with a big round natural bristle brush, but only straighten it about once a week. Looks frizzy although it's fairly straight.

I usually spray it with VO5 heat defence spray before blow drying it. Then work some VO5 serum through the lengths and ends. I accept it'll never look magazine glossy, but it just looks awful. Even straightened it looks crap. I get it trimmed about every 3 months or so, really trying to grow it long again. Ive tried lee Stafford Argan oil, which can make my hair feel dry and knotty the next day so not a great fan of that & didn't notice a great difference either. Anything else I can try?

Very similar hair to yours so I will lurk for answers
I find the Aussie protection spray and tigi blow dry balm used together seems to be working quite well for me. Tigi under a tenner on eBay.

Kerastase Elixir Ultime oil is fabulous, though a lot more than a tenner. Loreal have a version called Mythic Oil which I haven't tried yet but imagine is very similar as they're the same company. You can use Elixir as a pre wash mask, a deep conditioner or a serum before or after blow drying and it doesn't weigh hair down at all, but makes it silky and glossy. I love it! A bottle also lasts for months and months.

AUSSIE!

Shampoo, conditioner, and heat protector! Also intensive conditioner. For LONG hair is your best friend (well mine) and I used to sit on my hair!

oh, and it last AGES and AGES and AGES

Just back from summer hols and this is the first time I have not returned with hair like straw, thanks to products recommended on here first it is what it says VO5 miracle concentrate you just squirt it on dry hair and it really nourishes without being greasy and second product is coconut oil which you put in but need to leave in for a few hours then wash out but it really helps the condition of your hair since mine is wavy/frizzy these recomendations have been great for me so I thought would pass it on

Aussie here too! Shampoo conditioner and the 3 minute miracle. I've used the styling products too, and they were good, but I don't use any now. Just hairspray.

You'll probably hate me for saying this but my hair is so much better now I don't straighten it anymore. I am embracing my natural wave and leave it to dry on its own quite a bit. Even my hairdresser has commented on how healthy it's looking now.

Stop blow drying it and stop straightening it. It looks frizzy because it is heat damaged!

Hair oil, have used Kerastase, Loreal Mythic and loved both. Have just bought the Elvive one in Tesco today to try , it was £9.99 so in budget!

Also no point growing your hair if it is split and dry, get a good cut to remove all the damaged ends and then keep it conditioned. Much better to have slightly shorter hair in good condition than long dry hair.

Did anyone else find Frizz Ease useless?

L'oreal Eversleek conditioner - the brown one £6

Water - you are pretty much fucked without it.

Seriously though it has to be an Olive oil treatment/mask thing I like to use every now and again.

Yes, Frizz Ease does nothing at all for my curly/frizzy hair.

Moroccan oil is my must have.

Hair Elasticizer by Philip Kingsley. Expensive, and bloody worth it.

Aussie here as well. Moroccan oil really is very good and if your wanting your hair to grow longer and be in good condition it's worth the investment

Aussie 3 min miracle stuff here too. And I think it smells divine.

I also rinse my hair with as cold as I can stand water.

Another vote for aussie products here. I've tried loads of expensive brands and always prefer my hair when I use aussie

Yay for Aussie! Since I have so many fans I the one place can anyone tell me when the mega shampoo went from creamy looking to clear?? I think I might be going made, but I'm sure it's changed!!

Liz Earle conditioners.

TIGI blow out balm - tenner rot 2 on ebay.

Aveda pure abundance products.

I can't do oil based stuff.

ooh yes the pure abundance range is amazing. Aveda hair products are fabulous generally.

Glaik Can't help I'm afraid as I use Long / colour.

But the long changed about 2 years ago, still as good as ever.

A daft question, butdo you use Moroccan oil like a serum? Should i shampoo, condition and then oil? If so which shampoo and conditioner do you recommend?

Or is it like a conditioner?
