Beauty products come and go. If you’re a product junkie, like myself, then you probably get a real rush from trying out the many new and exciting products with the latest exotic ingredients (marula oil, anyone?) But even with the myriad products to test out, there are a few that seem to keep making their way back into the seemingly endless rotation of hair potions bursting out of our overstocked beauty cabinets. Here are a few that may have found a “forever” home in your beauty closet:

Palmer’s Hair Success Gro Treatment
There’s something about this St. Joseph’s Children’s Aspirin colored hair cream, with it’s pleasant, but not quite identifiable smell, that turned me into a believer decades ago. Enriched with good-for-your-hair ingredients such as vitamin E, hydrolyzed silk protein and biotin (and even a few not-so-good ones: mineral oil and propylparaben to name a couple), this works wonders to seal hair after moisturizing with the leave-in of your choice, and keeps hair moist and shiny for days. It’s great for those fragile ends in particular. No matter how many wonderful hair butters I try and love, I always eventually come creeping back to this one.

Queen Helene Cholesterol w/ Ginseng
Okay, maybe I am subconsciously drawn to these orange-colored hair products, but Queen Helene’s Cholesterol Conditioners all work really well, especially as a cheapie conditioner to water down and use for co-washing, or detangling prior to shampooing. There are several varieties available including the original, which is a pale yellow color. Deriving its conditioning benefits from cholesterol, which deeply penetrates the hair shaft, ginseng root extract, lanolin and keratin amino acids, this concoction can also be used with a heating cap to intensify the penetration.
Have you ever used any of these three products? What are some of the tried-and-true staples in your beauty arsenal?
