Product Review- Texture Spray!

I have been using the Awapuhi Wild Ginger line for 2 years now. I am still in LOVE! It is the best product line! I have been so happy with the results, the aroma, the styling that it gives to all hair types!

If you want to learn more about my fav products, check them out here.

Today, I thought I would share with you about the Texturizing Sea Spray by Awapuhi! It is amazing! I use it in hair when it is wet or dry.

Why use this product?

+ I love it to get texture with my natural waves.
+ I love using it in hair on the days I don't wash to revive my hair.
+ It has a great aroma.....GINGER. Your hair will smell like the ocean and ginger. Perfect combo.
+ It doesn't have as much hold as a gel or hairspray, while still delivering great texture and grit for your locks.

How to use this product?

+ I spray it in my hair after I shower and follow up with Moroccan oil or Hydrating whip. I then blow dry it 50% dry.
+ I also use it in the hair once it is damp or dry to add some more hold. I treat it like a hairspray.
+ I spray it in my hair a lot in the summer on the days I don't wash to revive/refresh my hair.
+ I use it after I curl my hair and mist my locks to rough up my curls/waves. I then scrunch my hands through my hair!

It retails at Tala for $20! BEST 20 BUCKS SPENT. Promise.....

Happy Tuesday!

I started Lock Lock Wednesday to get myself motivated to style my hair everyday. It is so easy, for even hair stylists to get in a rut with their hair. I am hoping to inspire you along the way with simple and fun techniques to help you look fabulous! Join me along the way. It will be fun! All you have to do is take snapshots of your hair during the week and link up with me below! 

I have been so busy this week, that it is a miracle that i curled my hair. I have been using a 1' hot tools curling iron in my hair now that it is getting longer. I section my hair into 2 sections to achieve this look. I always curl away from my face. I am so excited that my hair is touching my shoulders now! 

I am still using my favorite products in my hair by Awapuhi. You can check those out here! 

Lots of messy buns/updos lately to get it off my face! My earrings are Stella&Dot. 

Here I simply pinned sections of my pony in a loose bun. I totally need to get a nude colored sock bun now! 

On top of my normal hair product routine, I have been applying this Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Styling Treatment Oil to my hair before curling. I put in one pump after blowdrying my hair to give it extra moisture. My hair is sick of winter.....dry and tired. This product feels weightless while adding tons of shine. I love it. It smells like the rest of the line.......GINGER. I love it.  I sell it at Tala for $26. It is a little cheaper than Moroccan oil or other products while producing similar results. My hair can handle both oils because it gets so dry and frizzy on the days I wash it. (mention this post and you will receive 20% off this product at your next visit)

My Hair Product Favs!

I am super excited to share with you my favorite hair products! I get asked all the time what I use in my hair. To be honest, it changes rather frequently! Being a hair stylist it is easy to try lots of new products. It can be an addiction of mine! But, I have been using Awapuhi products for almost two years now and still loving them. They are Paul Mitchell's newest line. They are infused with Wild Ginger from Hawaii. The key is to look for products that are paraben and sulfate free for your hair! Why? Parabens and Sulfate can strip out your hair color, dry out your hair, some say they are led to be carcinogenic. I personally make it a goal to go the natural route whenever it is possible!

1. Awapuhi Moisturizing Lather Shampoo! I love this product so much! It really does lather amazing. It is super rich for your hair. The Awapuhi lines smells amazing! I am really sensitive to scents, that is why the ginger aroma is perfect for me. Ginger helps with nausea. I use a nickel amount for my hair. You want to scrub your hair for a minute with your finger tips (not your nails). If you have a hard time spreading the product, re-rinse your hair in the water to help spread the shampoo.

2. Keratin Cream Rinse. This is really awesome! I love how light weight the conditioner is. I only wash my hair every 3-4 days so this is an awesome conditioner for me without weighing down my hair. I put the conditioner on my mid shaft to ends! I don't use conditioner on my scalp at all! It adds lots of shine and rebuilds your hair shaft with keratin.

3. My first styling product I put in my hair is, Aquage Uplifting Foam! This stuff is killer! Oh my word, does it work! I use a quarter amount on my roots! It is the best root lifter I have ever used! It isn't sticky, crunchy, or heavy. I love how weightless it is!

4. After the foam, I put in my "Old Faithful", Moroccan Oil! Seriously, this stuff is the real deal! My hair quenches for this amazingness! I have been using this product for 5+ years now. It lasts forever! I have a pump on it, so all you need is one pump for your hair. You can put this in wet or dry hair! I prefer wet hair for me. The Moroccan Oil comes in "Light" too. Light is great for fine hair or really blonde hair. The pigment of the regular one is an amber tone and the light is more gold. Why does the oil work so well? It has Argon oil in it from Morocco. It transforms your hair adding omega-3 oils and vitamins. I LOVE IT!

5. Once my hair is dry, I curl or flat iron my hair using the Awapuhi Shine Spray! It is lightweight, adds shine, and looks natural. This is my favorite scent in the whole Awapuhi Collection. It is fab! You can spray this in as a heat protectant or a finisher.

6. I love myself a good hairspray! My favorite of all time is the Awapuhi Finishing Spray. It is a medium-strong hold. I love how it has the ginger aroma. Being a hairstylist, I use a lot of hairspray on my guests, and I have struggled in the past with headaches from hairspray. This hairspray doesn't leave a fog after applying either (pet peeve). It is wonderful.

What are your favorite hair products? Have you tried any of these? Do you have a styling aid you swear by?

Happy Weekend Yal'l!
