Now lets talk about my favorite products to carry in my hair kit.  When I go to shoots I carry very few.  In my salon I choose to use Redken products and have a bigger selection but I still turn to only a few.

I want to quickly talk about where you should buy professional products.  Salon products are only guaranteed if they are purchased at a salon or an authorized retailer.  They should NOT be purchased at places like supermarkets, CVS, Target, or Walmart (except in their salons that is a teeny exception)  When products are sold in stores like this is what is called a diverted product.  These typically are either fake, watered down or expired products and should not be used and will not give you the best results.  Redken has a great page dedicated to their Anti-Diversion Campaign definetly click this link and read all about it!

now back to what i planned on talking about…

Lets start with hair spray, my favorite has to be the revamped Sebastian line.  I always have ReShaper, and Shaper Fierce and occassionally with carry the Zero Gravity

Fierce!

Brushable!

I also carry some type of mousse product, I like Redken Guts because you can use it as a root booster, use it all over the head, and it also is great to “dirty” up hair to make styles last longer when models show up with freshly washed hair

Guts!

I also like to carry a shine spray, my go to shine spray used to be Sebastian Halo Mist but I have been branching out.  Redken just released an aerosol called Shine Flash that I love!  Both bottles are small enough that carrying both doesn’t really take up much space, I love to spray the Halo Mist on my hands before i run my hands through curls and i love the Shine Flash for how easy it is!

Last but not least I like to carry a wax to make hair piece-y and to tame fly aways.  I usually carry two, a spray wax by Redken called Wax Blast and a traditional wax, my favorite is Redken Structure Wax

As you can see I am pretty brand loyal, Sebastian and Redken keep me the happiest.  I always know their products will do what they say and will be easy to use.  Again this product list is for my basic hair kit when I do traditional hair, my fantasy hair kit is pretty different and full of secrets hehe.
