Every month, Pretty.Smart gives us affordable and easy to use tips on how to help look and feel our best. Last month, Pretty.Smart focused on fragrances on how they can help improve your mood and make you feel better. This month, Pretty.Smart is giving all the scoop on hair essentials.
Just this week, I had a great hair day. You know those days when you barely have to do any styling to your hair and it just looks fabulous. All I did was blow dry and go. No complicated straightening or a whole cabinet full of hair products.
As a mom, I’m always on the go. There is barely time to shower, let alone primp and style for hours. So I was interested to watch the video over at Pretty.Smart which gave 4 easy on the go hair styles. These will be perfect for summer.
Every overwhelmed in the hair care product aisle? Never fear, Pretty.Smart is here to help. You can download a free brochure which tells you the essential products, hair care tools, and easy step by step styling instructions.
The products recommended are from the Dove Intensive Repair line, which at $4.97 are a smart buy.
- Dove Intensive Repair shampoo and conditioner with Fiber Active Technology helps reconstruct hair from the inside to make it more beautiful on the outside.
- Dove Daily Treatment Conditioner has the Fiber Active Technology as well as built in Micro Moisture Serum to help seal the cuticle and smooth the hair on the outside.

It is cool site.Thanks so much. Wow your hair sounds pretty long. I have a very low maintenance to my hair.Sometimes i will straighten it if i feel like it but i don’t use heat tools often. The combing advice was also helpful.
My favorite tip was the importance of eating healthy and drinking lots of water to strengthen hair from within
Non frizz tips!
I definitely would pick the split ends tip with my hair!
I always like to get new tips, and all of these were great. They take into account busy peoples lives and are affordable. I have short hair, so keeping styling damage down and frizz is very important to me. Thanks for the great tips!

I loved the tips on easy hairstyles, especially the “undone bun”!
I like the idea of trimming off your split ends. I usually just suffer when I have them until I can go get it cut.
I like to deep conditioning tips… My hair is so thick and dry…
I like the undone bun!
Well, I like the fast hairdo tips but I wish they had some tips on how to deal with my superfine hair. It won’t stay in clips, I can’t put it up in anyway except a ponytail holder or, if I do it when it is wet, a small banana type clip.
For split ends, use a shampoo and conditioner especially designed for damaged hair and split ends, I never knew such products exists! (runs off to the store to look)
my fave tip was to use a microfiber towel to towel dry your hair before blow drying it. thanks clallen at ntin dot net

use a shampoo and conditioner system for damaged hair
Great tip about how nutrition affects our hair!
Great tip- brush hair before shampooing. Good ole common sense!
Like the High ponytail tips and easy wave tips.
My favorite tip is to have healthy hair from the inside out by eating healthy (fruits and veggies), taking vitamins as suggested by doctor, and drinking plenty of water.
Thanks!

The best tip was before you blow dry, use a microfiber towel to towel dry your hair.

I love their tip on using Dove Intensive Repair to prevent split ends
Watching the healthy hair video, there were several general tips that we need to eat healthy to have healthy hair from inside the hair shaft … drink lots of fluids et cetra. One of the specific tips I don’t remember ever hearing elsewhere was that we should brush our hair before we shampoo to reduce breakage afterwards.
I didn’t really think about how what I put in effected how my hair came out.
I really need to put the deep conditioning info to good use!!
The split ends tip is one I needed.
I liked the tip about using a deep conditioner once per week. That’s something I surely could use!
brushing your hair before you shampoo, drink lots of water, take a vitamin suppliment all tips on keeping your damages hair AT THE ROOT healthy, thanks I love Dove there is no better products to use

I really liked the tip of brushing your hair before you shower, as person who has hair past her waist -that tip also helps with not having so many tangles to comb/brush out after shampooing and conditioning.
Great tip was before you blow dry use a microfiber towel to towel dry your hair. It absorbs more water
I liked learning about simple and fast hairstyles – perfect for a mom of a toddler!
I like the deep conditioning tips. This is the best way to keep my hair healthy.
Ohhh… the deep conditioning tips are going to help I think may help.
I have weird combo hair, dry in the length and super oily at the scalp. If I go one day without washing, you can tell and smell that it’s dirty.
My favorite tip is to be sure to eat/drink plenty of fruits, vegetables, protein and drink plenty of water to strengthen hair from the inside out. Who knew hair was so affected by these things?
Hope I win!
