If you're using heat on your hair, show some love and care!

Moroccanoil Perfect Defense, 6 Fl. Oz.
L'ANZA Neem healing strength serum is long lasting first of all. I've had my little bottle for a VERY long time. So you can buy it and not buy it again for probably another 6-12 months! It doesn't take much to do the job! I put it on my damp hair prior to drying and it definitely speeds up my dry time. And! Like all of the other L'ANZA products I recommend, it smells mmmmmm yummy! It's protecting and healing at the same time and is ...

Design Essentials Milk & Honey 6N1 Conditioner
My daughter's rave about this one here! It smells great and keeps their cute kinky coils loose, soft, and highly moisturized. Not to mention, this lovely formula is sulfate and paraben free. There are other scents, but this is the one we love!
Honest Co. Conditioning Hair Detangler 4oz
Here's the deal with this conditioner, your hair doesn't have to be curly to benefit from its nutrient rich texture! I love love it! My hair dresser had me start using this on my thinning hair and my goodness! It made such a huge difference! And it smells just divine!!! Hint, the shampoo of the Healing Curls line… I DO NOT like! It doesn't lather and left my hair super weighed down and almost greasy looking or dirty feeling… I don't know. But this.. the conditioner 5 stars!
L'ANZA Healing Curls Butter Conditioner
One of the best leave in curl enhancing and conditioning treatments I've found. My daughter swears by it and so does her head of curls!! It definitely moisturizes and makes each curl really defined and tames any frizz!

LOC N GEL Edge Gel 16 OZ - Extra Hold
I don't wear a lot of hair spray. Not since the 90's haha! This brush through hairspray is a godsend! L'ANZA has done it again for me! It's true, you can spray, and brush hair into place even after it is dried and it holds and no flakes or anything. I can hardly believe it myself honestly! We live in incredible times my friends. I love this spray. Truly!

AMIKA - Perk Up Talc-Free Dry Shampoo - Sephora
I love dry shampoo and I love trying different ones. This Hask Charcoal Citrus is another of my faves because it 1. Is sulfate and paraben free and 2. Smells delicious and 3. Doesn't make my hair have that ‘I used dry shampoo today’ feeling. IYKYK!

L'ANZA products are TOP NOTCH!!! I really didn't know how much I would love them when my stylist first introduced me to the neem oil (find under my protect and defend folder) but wow! I love everything about this line. Sulfate and paraben free keeping my hair shiny and not stripping it of its natural oils. You do truly get what you pay for when it comes to hair products! I can promise you that!
