This series can truly do no wrong. Its a staple in my haircare routine and great go to for hydration, and deep conditioning.

Love, love, love this combo! It smells amazing and leaves my hair feeling squeaky clean, soft and ready for styling. I normally use this before a protective style or after!
SheaMoisture Hydrate & Repair Conditioner & Shampoo
My favorite spray for braids! It isn't heavy and keeps my scalp feeling moisturized and fresh
Mint Condition Braid and Scalp Spray
My favorite hairspray that not only smells amazing, but gives me great heatless curls and reduces my frizz.
Pantene : Hair Spray
I use the two step protein treatment every 3-5 months and its never done me wrong!
Two-Step Protein Treatment
A staple in my haircare routine, especially in the colder months or when in a protective style. Not oily or heavy, but incredibly moisturizing. I use it every other night or as needed.
Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density | 23% Off in Slowvember
My favorite scalp soothing oil for protective styles or when my hair is stretched. Feels good and smells amazing!
Dry & Itchy Scalp Care Oil Treatment
A great scalp soother as well. A bit watery, so I only use this when my hair is in a protective style or while damp after being freshly washed :)
Rosemary Mint Extra Strength Scalp Treatment
A GEM in my silk press or blow out routine. Light weight and not heavily fragrant, but very moisturizing. A little goes along way! I use this at night when I wrap my hair or place it in rods.
Bonding Oil with Amla Oil
When I am experiencing a particularly bad flare up, this is my go to remedy. It won't go away overnight, but after a few washes I find my scalp looks much better. I only use this as needed.
Nizoral : Shampoo & Conditioner
My favorite heat protectant. (for reference I use a ceramic hair straightener set on 410, and do only one pass)
Tresemme : Hair Heat Protectors
Game changer for my routine! Helps speed up the drying of my braids, sew-ins, and a great add on for my deep conditioning treatments. Love that it's low maintenance and easy to store as someone with minimal extra space :)

Very sturdy. I started incorporating these for my slick backs to reduce hair loss from traditional hair ties. Zero complaints thus far and I have noticed less hair on the hair tie when removing them.
OLESILK 100% Mulberry Silk Hair Scrunchies
These actually work very well for me to create heartless curls when my hair is blown out. I pair them with the Pantene hair spray and it comes out *chefs kiss* every time.
