Over the past few weeks, I’ve been posting photos of some of my work outfits to Instagram.  As a result, a surprising number of people have asked me what I use on my hair to make it so shiny.  Let’s talk about it.

When I was younger, I tried all of the expensive shampoos — Kerastase, Oribe, Alterna, etc..  All of the money that I spent on designer haircare makes me blush now.  Over the past few years, I’ve been using more drugstore products, and recently switched to a drugstore shampoo and conditioner full time.

I am religious about getting my hair trimmed every six weeks, so an ongoing quarantine is really cramping my ability to keep to that schedule.  But the world has bigger problems than my split ends and shaggy bangs.

I think that might be the most click-bait-y headline that I have ever written.   But the hairstyle is actually a really good idea for dry-shampoo days.

Years ago, I discovered paddle hair brushes, and I’ve never looked back.  A paddle brush is perfect for smoothing, detangling, and styling your hair.  It makes swift work of a morning blow dry.  Here are a few in different price points.
