I'll let you in on a secret. Since my teenage years, I've been obsessed with my hair. It's been a love/hate relationship and we've seen ups and downs together. But it was not all in vain, as I can now say I have normal hair, as opposed to the greasy mess I had when I was in that ungrateful period that was high school and teenage years.

Here are the products that help me keep my mane in a presentable state!

Giovanni Tea Tree Triple Treat Shampoo and Conditionner

I've already talked about this combo in a review. Tea tree is the perfect ingredient for those who struggle with oily everything. I've been using these for almost a year and I've now tried another range from Giovanni (the 50:50 one) but I prefer the Tea Tree Triple Treat. I'll finish the 50:50 and then I'll be back on it. I even converted my mother on Giovanni products, as she's been struggle with frazzled hair after chemotherapy.

I find Giovanni products at Loblaws, Winners or natural product stores.

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Blush

Well technically it's not my favourite dry shampoo, as I prefer the Klorane one, but as it is expensive ans is never on sale anymore, I turned to Batiste. Now, I hate the original Batiste. But I like the Blush version. It's not just about the fragrance, I find that the original leaves a white cast and is more difficult to work into the hair. But the Blush one is easier. And then you don't have that problem with Klorane. Oh well!

In drugstores.

Argan Oil

You've been living under a rock if you don't know the buzz that has been around organ oil in the last 5 years. It has been used for centuries by Moroccan women to moisturize their hair and body but the the mainstream beauty industry has taken it over and put it in their products. Of course, it is just a buzzword for them but the authentic organ oil is the way to go. If my hair need a bit of shine, I put a tiny bit in my hands, rub them together and apply on my hair. Or you can use it as a mask. 

In natural product stores.

Herbivore X Urban Outfitters Rose Hair Perfume Mist

I love rose scented products. And sometimes I want my hair to smell like them. This is perfect to give my hair a little bit of scent. It is not overpowering, and it is a good thing, as I feel I would struggle with migraines if so, as I am sensitive to scents.

At Urban Outfitters.

Rich Pure Luxury De-Frizz and Shine Mist

Yeah, I know, you'll say "A product that uses organ as a buzzword." But it actually is the third ingredient on the list so it's no added there as an afterthought. It is really good to leave the hair feeling silky and smelling luxurious. I found this bottle in France, at the famous CityPharma, but I also found this product at Winners, so decided to include it in this list. I also could've include Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse, but this product is harder for me to work with and I would recommend to those with dry hair.

At Winners.

Biosilk Silk Therapy

This will be the most controversial product on the list because it contains silicone. But I've been using it since my late teens and I've tried other similar product without the silicone and it's just not the same. I've never really had problems with buildup, so I continue to use it, but I know it could be harmful to the environment. I am still on the lookout for an alternative though.

There you have it, my favourite haircare products! Let me know what are yours!

I have a 2-in-1 post for you today! The first picture are the empties I got in Paris. I didn't bring them back with me, it would have been silly! But I took a picture so I can report on them.

The second one is a mix of September Empties, that were still in my closet when I left and the rest of this month's empties.

BBW Pumpkin Spice Latte Foaming Soap: I love BBW Foaming Soaps. The pump squirt a good amount and then it leaves a nice scent on your hands. This one might be too sweet for some though.

No7 Protect & Perfect Day Cream: I liked this cream, not greasy but luxurious! And the scent is really particular to it, reminds me of good memories!

Maybelline Dream Nude Airfoam Foundation: I got mine in Natural Beige, and I talked about it in a Favourites post. I think it's actually the first time I finish a foundation. I've chucked some in the past but finishing, that's the first time. I like it, but it's quite messy!

Biosilk Silk Therapy Serum: I've been using this since I'm 17 and even though I try to replace it with other options as it contains silicons, nothing beats it. I used to have backups if this because it was not always available where I was, hence the old bottle. I don't have one now, so I'll wait and see!

Vichy Corrector in 14 Nude: I can't recall the name of this one, and on the website the only corrector is not fitting. I liked it though, this sample lasted ages and the colour was perfect for my imperfections. I think I still have samples of this in the other shades.

Estée Lauder Double Wear in Outdoor Beige: The product was good, but the colour was too dark for me! Usually the shades in the samples are pretty close to my complexion but this one was too dark, so I had to mix it to use it.

Dove Soaps: As you can see, I usually use a variety of Dove soaps. I know they're not the most natural out there, and the dyes in it are terrible (I saw it transfer on another soap in my soap box in Europe). But it doesn't live me with a greasy film and that's what matters to me.

Synergen Day & Night Cream: This is a cream I got in Germany. The product in itself is good for oily skin, it is fresh and not greasy. The only thing is that the scent, even though it is good, is overpowering. Must not be good for the skin!

BBW Pumpkin Caramel Latte: This is the candle I had on my desk in Europe and all my coworkers were alwys commenting on it when I was burning it. One even came in my office just to smell it!

Garancia Que mes rougeurs disparaissent Serum: I've seen Garancia products when I was in France, but this is the first time I try one. I liked the feeling of this serum, which is more like a cream to me. The scent was nice. I couldn't really see a difference on my redness though, but I think it deals more with rosacea than spots redness.

So for September I finished 7 products, and in December, 16. Not bad. Here's to a good Empties 2015 :P
