It depends...when I straighten it, I use Loreal Straightening Gel....it protects from heat and makes it shiny. When I leave it curly, I use mostly Suave stuff....gel, mousse and hairspray. Oh yeah and also use Infusium 23, since my hair long, it gives it less tangles. As for shampoo and conditioner, I try to use Pantene for color-treated hair, but when the color begins to fade, I just use Suave. I love the way the strawberry one smells.
I'm not into high maintenance when it comes to hair so yes I use vo5 my favorite scent kiwi-lime or Suave coconut because it's like washing w/coconut milk...mmmmmmmmmm..in the summer extra conditioner or conditioning treatment for dryness..and a lil bit of pink lotion.
