I'll be frank with you, my hair is oily...really oily. But I'll occasionly treat my hair to a little moisturizing T.L.C. Case in point -- This Kerastase Nurtive Nutridefense, which gets a whopping 5 stars in my book. The trio of essential elements -- Glucose, Proteins, and Lipids make for a super-soft, silky smooth do. Leaving the effects of mechanical stress, color treatments and harsh climate a thing of the past.

Most post-pool detox shampoos leave you with strands as dry as straw and as limp as, well, you know. This Maxi.Wash Shampoo from Kevin Murphy is the solution to your follicular faux-pas. It deep-cleans your hair gently (without stripping natural oils) with tropical fruit acids (AHA), sage extracts, and an herbal blend of Lime, Mint and Eucalyptus. So you're left with chlorine-free clean hair that's full of volume and life. Think of it as Viagra for your hair. Well, sort of.

I rarely blow my hair dry because I don't have the patience and air drying suits me fine most of the time. However, when I have bangs (and I do now) the unruly waves need to be blown straight. My old hair dryer was horrible but since acquiring the Barbar Ceramic ECO 8000 Blow Dryer I've been a blow-drying machine. This must-have hair gadget has an eco-friendly ceramic heating element that "negates radiation while making hair soft and shiny." It's also super-efficient. And though it's a tad heavy, I figure my arms could use the workout.

My hair always looks best a little bit dirty. I actually plan my whole shampoo and conditioning routine about three days before an occasion for which I must have a great hair day.  There is still that fine line, when crossed, your hair can transform from good to greasy.  My mom let me in on a little secret,  Frederic Fekkai's Summer Hair Wash & Wear.  This stuff is amazing!! Just spray all over your mane and it magically lifts dirt and pollutants, protects your hair from UVA rays, and has a fresh summery beach day scent.
