I lopped 9 inches off my hair!!

This may be of absolutely no interest to any of you, but I need to tell someone!!
So, I've grown my hair out for probably the last 5 years, it was right down my back. Haven't been to a hair dressers for years. My hair however is thin and I find drying/styling it a total chore. Getting a hair brush stuck in it was the last straw for me so last night I did the 'beard method' and lopped a whole 9 inches off and DH tidied the length up for me. My hair feels and looks amazing! I've now got a nice just below shoulder length blunt cut. Can't quite get over the fact that my head feels so light now!

I'm going to start treating myself to some what I would call posh shampoos/conditioners. (Normally Herbal Essences does the job for me ha!) Can you lovely lot recommend me some nice products? I read a lot about Keratine and Opalex products and I'm quite interested to see what the hype is. I feel like buying a nice hair mask too.
I think for the first time ever, I'll find blow drying my hair a total dream! I couldn't be happier!

Looks great OP! Your hair is in lovley condition. I have dry ends and greasy roots and have found these shampoos/conditioners work well for me.

Grow Strong Shampoo/Conditioner With Bamboo And Biotin

Pantene Hair Biology Cleanse & Reconstruct Conditioner/Shampoo

TIGI BED HEADUrban Antidotes Recovery Shampoo/Conditioner

I also use a clarifying shampoo once a week or every other week to help with product build up. I use Bumble & Bumble Sunday Shampoo.
