Discovery Sets
A round up of my favorite mini/discovery sets! This is such a great place to start if you want to try out a few products from a new clean brand but don't want to commit to full size. All of my favorite hair care brands make multiple different sets. C...
As a curly hair girl, I am always trying to figure out what works best. Mousse, gel, nothing? I love this air dry set because it let me test out a few methods before committing to a full product.
the mini air dry set
Another version of the air dry set but this ones comes with shampoo and conditioner. Also a good set for travel!
the air dry mousse ritual hair set for volume texture
I always have a mini hair brush in my bag. Love that this set comes with one and a mini product.

Same mini Roz set but with a cute blue bag if you prefer that instead!

This one is next on my list to purchase.

Sephora product scalp discovery set
Hair Masks
I will often use a hair mask in replace of or in addition to conditioner. So I am using it at least once a week. Masking has made a huge difference for me. All of these masks have great hydrating benefits without weighing your hair down.
I reach for this one when my hair is feeling super damaged and it needs a little extra nourishment. I often use post vacation when I have been in the sun and pool a lot or when I have been heat styling a lot. It brings my hair back to life and just m...
Restorative Hair Mask
I use this one multiple times a week as part of my usual routine. It provides so much hydration to my color treated hair. It also has a stregthening effect that I feel has been making my hair more resilent over time.
Foundation Mask
This one is restorative and best for coarse or dry hair!
Innersense Hydrating Hair Mask
When I feel like I am starting to see splits ends, I reach for this one. It has been proven to reduce them. It is also really good on color treated hair and works great on all hair types. I really love everything this brand does.
Mascarilla de Guava
This is another one that is a regular in my routine. I use this often. What I love is that this gives me hydration but without weighing my hair down. Which is great if you have fine hair. Also a really nice subtle scent to this.
The Renewal Hydrating Hair Mask - Crown Affair | Sephora
Shampoo
I think shampoo is often overlooked. It really is the start of the hair health journey. If you aren't getting your hair and scalp clean or if you are over stripping… no other product will give you the full benefits that they are supposed to.
This is such a nice simple shampoo but still feels really luxurious.
FOUNDATION Shampoo
Great for hair growth with the addition of rosemary.
Rosemary Shampoo
Pick this if your hair needs some love and is feeling damaged. Helps improve the look of damage and leaves hair feeling stronger, healthier, and easier to manage.
Restorative Shampoo
This one is really cool and packs a punch. This scalp-focused shampoo is designed to help hair look fuller while supporting a healthy scalp. It’s made with ingredients like aniseed myrtle extract, kombucha ferment, peptides, amaranth, and Maya Chia’s...
The Power Fol Advanced Scalp and Hair Treatment Shampoo
I really like this shampoo because it cleans my hair without leaving it feeling dry or stripped. It has ingredients that help keep both my scalp and hair hydrated, and it does a great job removing buildup while still feeling gentle enough for regular...
The Balancing Shampoo | Hyaluronic Acid
A great option for dry, color treated hair that needs hydration.

This shampoo is formulated with both scalp and hair health in mind. It contains moisturizing ingredients derived from coconut and sunflower oils that help support a healthy scalp while leaving hair feeling soft and smooth. The scent is a fresh, earth...
Cypress Shampoo
Conditioner
As a curly hair girl who also bleach her hair, conditioner is everything to me. I probably use more than I should but it is the difference between dry and frizzy hair and lush and hydrated locks.
a nice, simple, and hydrating one that can be used daily if you need to. I always reach for this one. It is just simple and gets the job done
FOUNDATION Conditioner
Pairs great with the rosemary shampoo if you really want to focus on hair growth
Rosemary Conditioner
Maya Chia products are kind of like magic. When I use this one consistently it makes my hair feel super strong.
The Power Fol Advanced Volumizing Bond Repair Conditioner
This rehydrates and balances your scalp!
The Balancing Conditioner | Hyaluronic Acid
This one is made with nourishing ingredients like Tremella mushroom and baobab seed oil to add moisture, improve manageability, and leave hair feeling smooth, healthy, and refreshed
Cypress Conditioner
When my hair is feeling really dry, I reach for this. I also love this bottle. Something about the pump makes it really easy to use.
Daily Hydro Hydrating Conditioner for Dry, Damaged Hair - Act+Acre | Sephora
Used this conditioner with the matching shampoo when i was going through chemo. I needed something hypoallergenic and super simple. So if you have a sensitive scalp, this is great.
Be Gentle, Be Kind Aloe + Oat Milk Ultra Soothing Fragrance-free Hypoallergenic Conditioner - Brioge
I like to use this one paired with the shampoo after I get my hair color treated.
The Hydrating Conditioner for Dry, Damaged Hair - Crown Affair | Sephora
Leave in Conditioner
I don't think I have ever washed my hair and not put in leave in conditioner. It is a must for healthy hair. I like to try out a bunch of these and sometimes layer products.
I love this one because it can be used on wet or dry hair. Adds so much moisture without weighing down.
The Leave-In Conditioner Cream for Hydrated Hair - Crown Affair | Sephora
This has a great anti frizz effect that is perfect for summer
Cold Processed Leave-in Conditioner
Similar to the Crown Affair one. I also use this on dry and wet hair. A little thicker which I like when my hair is feeling extra dry.
Milk Hair Serum
Hydrating and bond building! My best friend loves this one.
Perfecting Leave In
If your hair tends to feel dry, frizzy, or damaged, this leave-in conditioner is worth checking out. It helps add moisture, smooth flyaways, and leave hair feeling softer and shinier. I also like that it helps protect hair from heat and other everyda...
Guava Leave in Conditioner
Hair Oil
Hair oil is my #1 favorite hair product. I use it multiple times a day. These options are so good. There is not need to be using a hair oil that is filled with synthetic ingredients when there are non toxic options this good.
My #1. It just makes my hair better. I used it multiple times a day and it gives my hair moisture and shine but does not weigh it down. You need this one.
The Mini Radiance Hair Oil for Frizz-Free Shine - Crown Affair | Sephora
This one feels more like a treatment which I love! Replenishes lipids in your hair and prevents damage!
Cold Processed Hair Oil
Comparable to the crown affair one. Just a great every day oil and great at smoothing frizz
Travel Santa Lucia Styling Oil
I like using this one overnight as a restorative sleep mask!
Willow Glen Treatment Oil
Super lightweight and made from plant oils! I like it because it gives you all the benefits of an oil but without the weight.
Lightweight Hair Oil
Styling Products
As a curly hair girl I need a styling product. When I made the switch to non toxic I thought I was doomed to be a frizz ball…. But these products have really impressed me. Add so much hydration and tame my frizz.
This is my #1 product when I want to leave my hair curly and air dry. Gives my hair moisture and my curls definition.
The Smoothing Air Dry Hair Styling Cream - Crown Affair | Sephora
This one can really be used for anything and any hair type. Very hydrating and frizz taming. Has great hold without being flaky or drying.
Evergreen Style Cream
I have a lot of hair but it is very fine. So it can sometimes feel flat and thin. This spray makes a world of difference. Gives my hair so much body.
Air Thickening Spray
If you like a mousse this is another great option for taming frizz when you air dry
The Texturizing Air Dry Hair Mousse - Crown Affair | Sephora
Scalp Care
If you want your hair to grow you need to take care of your scalp! These pre wash serums or scalp scrubs are a great place to start.
I use this once a week. It is great. Just as it says, a detox for your scalp. This is my pre shampoo routine.
Cold Processed Scalp Detox
This one is really great when I want to really get in there and remove build up. Very satisfying.
Roz Hair Salt Scalp Scrub Exfoliating Shampoo
This one is a pre shampoo treatment and it not only removes build up, it also prevents excess sebum

Power Fol focuses on scalp health, which is the foundation of healthy-looking hair. It combines peptides, plant extracts, and nutrients that help support fuller-looking hair and a healthier scalp. In an 8-week study, many users reported healthier hai...
Power Fol Multi-Correctional Scalp and Hair Treatment
Similar to the roz one. Great when you really want to scrub away product build up
The Cleansing Scalp Scrub Shampoo - Crown Affair | Sephora
Dry Shampoo
Dry shampoo is such a necessity. But majority of the ones on the market are really not great for your scalp health or overall health. All of these options are non aerosol and plant based. They work well and don't dry out the scalp.
Non aerosol and the brush really helps with application.
The Non-Aerosol Dry Shampoo Powder for Oily Hair - Crown Affair | Sephora
I really like this pump option. I bring this one in my bag often.
Plant Based Dry Shampoo
Another great non aerosol option with a pump
Refresh Non-Aerosol Dry Shampoo
Dry Shampoo con Arrowroot
Wait A Sec
Hair Towels
Having a specific towel for your hair sounds silly but once you start using it, you will not go back. These are so gentle on your hair, cutting my drying time down and just overall less breakage. I won't use any other towel on my hair. I travel with ...
Very gentle and super absorbent. Have been using this one regularly
Microfiber Hair Towel - Act+Acre | Sephora
Cannot dry my hair without one of these towels. Makes such a difference. I travel with it.
The Hair Towel - Crown Affair | Sephora
Growth Serum
Hard to believe until you try but these “natural” growth serums actually work. I was skeptical until I tried. 4 solid options I have checked out.
This serum really changed the amount of fall out I would have. Really great for growth. Actually works.
Cold Processed Stem Cell Serum
I like this one because it is a weekly treatment! As someone who doesn't wash their hair every day, this works better with my wash schedule.
Growing Season - Burdock Hair Growth Oil
This focuses on reducing hair fall out and boosting thickness and volume.
Density Drops
Have not tried this hair serum yet but I used the lash and brow serum from this brand and have seen great results.
The Hair Serum
Hair Brushes
I have a hair brush obsession. Once you truly start taking care of your hair, you really will want to invest in every step of your routine. I love a boar bristle brush or a bamboo one because they are great at distributing oils from yoru scalp to the...
This is a nice option if you want to try out boar bristle but don't want to splurge as much.
The Boar Hair Brush No. 003 for Fine, Thin Hair - Crown Affair | Sephora
The most luxe hair brush I have ever owned. A splurge but worth it. My go to gift for all my girlfriends. You need this brush.
Large Brush N01 in Lilac Pink
Smaller version of the la bonne brosse. I purchased this one after I got the larger one so I can have it with me when I am out and about haha.
Small Brush N01 in Creamy White
The N03 option is great for scalp care. It has mixed bristle. Really love this cherry red color.
Small Brush N03 in Cherry Red
The bamboo bristles on this are great for distributing oils.
Brush De Pelo
Silk Pillow Cases
100% mulberry silk pillow cases! Gentle on skin and hair! Reduces friction, frizz and breakage! I use one every night and travel with one.
