My hair is all over the place right now; this in-between season always seems to wreak havoc on my strands. Does it need more moisture? Maybe not use the blow dryer so often? I’m not really sure but these below three seem to be helping me keep is steady Freddie until the cold comes on.

NEXXUS Color Assure Radiant Color Care Leave-in Conditioning Spray ($14.99/10.1oz @ target.com) – I’ve learned the hard way that not all leave-in conditioners are created equal. This one uses grapefruit extract, coconut oil, and honey extract to add extra moisture to strands to keep hair color longer.

PUREOLOGY ColorStylists Antibreakage Twist ($24/2.5oz @ target.com) – one of two new products just added to their ColourStylist line, this paste provide a mild hold and texture and totally safe for color-treated strands.

DAVINES OI/OIL ($39/4.56oz @ amazon.com) – I’m a huge fan of hair oils and this one seems like the next generation of them. It’s pretty light and its main oil comes from a beta-carotene and antioxidant-rich Roucou Oil.

I’ve had some pretty good luck with conditioners from the DAVINES line and I had the opportunity to try another one. Now I’m not sure if it’s the weather in LA or perhaps the time of year but my hair has been kind of unruly lately and a-typically on the dry side. Their new Lovely Smoothing Conditioner really did the trick in getting my strands back on the right track. It really felt like I used a deep conditioner even though this one only required about 2 minutes on the head.

It contains rice wax and an unusually high level of vitamin E as well as Borage Seed Oil, which helps with the hydration and a little goes a long way.

$25/8.4oz @ net-a-porter.com.

Here we are at the end of our on-going Spring Color Picks feature. So have you added any of the suggestions like Coral, Turquoise, Tuscany, Violet or Tomato Puree to your makeup routine? Here are some more recs for Tomato and Turq. What’s great about turquoise is that sometimes it’s on the green side and sometimes more on the blue side. The two nail polishes here really depict that.

I'm all about keeping my hair color fresh so I only use products, even down to the styling ones, that will enhance it, not kill it. New from DAVINES is their Alchemic Line that will help you do just that. But how do these differ from other hair products made for those who dye their hair? Each of the six colors is made for your specific tone -- Alchemic Shampoos ($23/8.45oz) and Alchemic Conditioners ($20/8.45oz) for Natural and Color Treated Hair.

• Red (for red/mahogany hair)
• Golden (for golden/honey blonde hair)
• Copper (for coppery brown hair)
• Silver (for white hair with predisposition to turning yellow when damaged)
• Chocolate (for dark brown/black hair)
• Tobacco (for mid/light brown hair)

Their scientists distilled pure pigments and added them to other nourishing ingredients. The shampoos contains milk proteins, vitamins A and B, panthenol and UV filter to protect the color when out in the sun. And the conditioners? Vitamin E, milk proteins and both come in glass jars. Nice attention to detail, Davines! And this even comes in a travel kit with a jar with shampoo, another with conditioner and then two empty ones for the product of your choice. And it's at a nice price for $20. All @ davines.com.
