Before shower/Prep
This was highly recommended to me by many people online and even my own sister. I’ve been using it for almost a year and my hair has grown so much. This oil + with frequent trims = healthy waves!.
Dabur Amla Hair Oil 500ml - Nourishing & Strengthening
In shower products
Starting off with this shampoo by maui. I thought taking something a bit lighter weight would help with my waves and it’s helped so much compared to the other maui shampoos i’ve used
Lightweight Curls + Flaxseed Shampoo
I switch conditioners often, but, this one i got in december 2024 and i just ran out! made my hair feel SO soft honestly i will be purchasing again. Only $10 for frizz-free curls
SKALA Dona Hair Cream 1 Pack
Use this after washing. i love the smell
L'Oreal Elvive Total Repair 5 Balm 8.5oz
Super strengthening and lightweight. I love how it makes my hair feel stronger but still bouncy—perfect for bleached waves that need both care and movement.
Biotin & Superfruit Volumizing Conditioner
Another product i use sparingly. I use this more as a treatment for my hair every once in a while when i want a really good wash.
Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo 8.5oz
After shower
Smells like cupcakes. It smooths frizz instantly and makes my waves fall in a more defined, natural pattern. It’s so lightweight
milk_shake incredible milk
I use this after when my hair is still decently wet. I LOVE the way this smells and feels. use just about a quarter as i’ve found that too much will make my hair a bit greasy
L'Oreal Elvive Dream Lengths Curls Leave-In
i’ve used this for about 3 years now and have yet to find another styling mousse i like better.
Max Hold Volumizing Hair Mousse
The smell of this is literally heavenly. Don’t use too much though!
Moroccanoil
I use this when i do sock curls to give my waves a boost of shine for the morning.
OGX Argan Oil Weightless Healing Dry Oil Spray
This is such a highly recommended product that i use very sparingly. I love the actual change i can see in my hair, like for example, i see way less split ends. It’s a basic recommendation but still so good!
