Heading back to college means juggling classes, friends, part-time jobs, and homework. Between all the hustle and bustle, it’s crucial to have high-quality hair products that are easy to use and get the job done. That’s why we’ve rounded up six of our favorite salon-approved products that every college student should have in their haircare routine this semester.
For the Fun Night Blowout
College is all about continuing your education, learning life skills, and starting your career, but it is also a time for making memories! If you have a special event, a night out, or just want an amazing blowout for the week, the Kenra Blow-Dry Spray reduces blow-dry time while protecting your hair from heat up to 428°F. It also tames frizz, adds shine, and helps smooth the hair, which is especially useful for those with coarse or frizzy textures. This blow dry spray smells amazing and will become a must-have this year!
The Quick Pick Me Up
If your hair tends to fall flat throughout the day, this clean-beauty foam is a must. Innersense I Create Lift gives you natural-looking volume and fullness without the crunch or buildup of traditional mousses. It’s perfect for those who want a little extra body and want a quick refresh. This foam is ideal for fine to medium textures!
For the Early Mornings
Dry shampoo is a college student’s staple product. When you don’t have time to wash and style your hair between classes or early morning lectures, Amika Perk Up refreshes your roots instantly. It absorbs oil and adds volume without leaving a white cast or residue. This dry shampoo is vegan, talc-free, and smells so good that it doubles as a hair fragrance!
A Slick Back’s Best Friend
Need a long-lasting hold for your hairstyle throughout the day? Kenra Gel 17 is a salon favorite that works for all hair types. It’s ideal for sleek ponytails, defined curls, or even taming baby hairs. It provides medium to firm hold with a high-shine finish, keeping your hair locked in all day and night!
You Wake Up 30 Minutes Before Class
For our curly-haired friends, college life can be rough on curl patterns. Between heat styling, weather changes, and stress, curls need support to bounce back. Innersense I Create Curl Memory is a hydrating styler that is perfect for days where you wake up late or can’t spend a lot of time on your curl routine. It adds hold without stiffness, giving you soft, touchable curls that last through study sessions and nights with friends.
A Relaxing Study Break
Treat you and your hair to some much needed TLC with Amika’s Soulfood Nourishing Hair Mask. It has jojoba oil, sea buckthorn, and vitamins that deeply hydrate without weighing hair down. Take a break from your study session and relax while you put this hair mask in and light a candle. Use it once a week to keep your hair healthy, soft, and resilient.
College is busy, but that doesn’t mean your hair has to suffer! These six high-quality products are perfect for students who want effective, low-maintenance products that fit into their busy schedules. So don’t wait to get your hands on these products!
