If you live in Hendersonville, Nashville, Gallatin, or honestly anywhere in Middle Tennessee, you’ve probably noticed your hair can feel… a little moody. Hear me out: One day it’s smooth, and the next day it’s frizzy, dry, dull, or just straight up stubborn.
Trust me, it’s not just you. Our hard water, Tennessee humidity, and year-round heat styling do NOT make it easy to keep your hair healthy.
So I’m sharing my Top 5 must-have products that I recommend to every single client who sits in my chair. These are the staples that help repair damage, fight frizz, protect your color, and keep your hair looking salon-fresh even between appointments.
Let’s get into it because your hair deserves better than what Tennessee weather throws at it.
Here are the Best Hair Products For Tennessee Residents.
⸻
1. A water filter for your shower head because it’s the hard water fix Nashville and surrounding areas NEED! If you take only one thing away from this post, let it be this:
Our water in Hendersonville, Nashville, and surrounding areas is HARD.
Like… really hard.
Hard water buildup causes:
• Dry, brittle hair
• Color fading (especially blondes!)
• Brassiness
• Tangled or dull hair
• Extensions getting dry quicker
A shower head water filter removes harsh minerals and metals so your shampoo, conditioner, and treatments can actually do their job and all that money you spend on your products can be worth it. Using a water filter alone can improve shine, moisture, and longevity of your hair color, especially for my blondes and extension girlies in Middle Tennessee.

2. Leaf + Flower CBD Phyto-Molecular Oil aka the dry & damaged hair lifesaver! If your hair is dry, brittle, over-processed, or just tired of heat and hard water, this oil will be your new best friend. I sell out of Leaf + Flower’s CBD Phyto-Molecular Oil because almost all of my Hendersonville and Nashville clients see how it literally restores damaged hair.
It:
• Rehydrates those extra thirsty ends
• Adds shine without greasiness
• Softens brittle hair
• Helps repair damage over time
• Keeps extensions healthy and smooth
**Added bonus it smells incredible and is a clear based oil so it won’t put a yellowish hue over blonde hair! Use it daily, especially on the ends, and your hair will feel noticeably healthier, softer, and more manageable. Just trust me, your hair will thank you.

3. Color Wow Dream Coat is the humidity shield every Tennessean needs in their arsenal because let me tell you something about Middle Tennessee humidity-
It does. Not. Play. That’s why Color Wow Dream Coat stays in my top product recommendations for anyone fighting frizz in the middle Tennessee area.
Here’s the kicker though, it MUST be heat activated.
Aka 1. You MUST blow dry it and 2. Air-drying won’t activate the anti-humidity shield.. When activated correctly, Dream Coat forms a lightweight, invisible barrier that helps your hair:
• Resist frizz
• Stay smooth longer
• Look shiny and glossy
• Survive Nashville summers
If you want that glassy, frizz-free finish… this is it.

4. Shibui Peptide Primer Leave-In Treatment because it is an at-home repair for color & chemical damage.
If your hair has been:
• Lightened
• Colored
• Chemically processed
• Heat-styled regularly
• Exposed to hard water
… your hair needs something that repairs it from the inside out. So enter: Shibui’s Peptide Primer Leave-In Treatment.
This treatment is enriched with:
✨ Peptides (which supports hair strength + repair)
✨ Nourishing extracts (smooth + moisturize…think ALL natural)
It improves hair structure, helps reverse damage, and gives your hair that silky, healthy feel we all want. I love this for my clients because it makes such a big difference between salon visits, especially if your hair is recovering from lightening or high heat.

5. Shibui Nourishing Working Spray, something that provides a buildable hold without the crunch. Last, but definitely not least, let’s talk styling because after all you’re wanting products so your hair you’re taking care of is something worth showing off!
Shibui’s Nourishing Working Spray is one of my must-have finishing products because it gives you:
✅ Buildable hold
✅ Soft, touchable texture
✅ No stiffness or crunch
✅ Support for curls, waves, or smooth styles
It is perfect for everyday styling AND great for keeping your hair in place when you’re facing the unpredictable weather Tennessee throws at us. It’s truly one of those products you don’t know you need until you try it and then you never go back.

Final Thoughts: Haircare That Works for Middle Tennessee Hair
Your hair deserves products that actually work with our environment, not against it.

If you’re struggling with dry, damaged, frizzy, or dull hair, these are the exact items I recommend to get you back on track so you can love your hair again!
