Wash Day
Everything that touches my hair on wash day — bond repair first, then my weekly deep treatment.
Once a week, after shampoo. If my scalp feels itchy from oil buildup, I wash first — I don't layer this over buildup.
Queen Helene Cholesterol
Alternate wash-day pair. The Mane 'n Tail is still my reset wash; this is the gentle option.
Avocado Oil Duo Shampoo & Conditioner - Green
Step 1 on wash day — shampoo, then conditioner — before the Queen Helene. Not an everyday wash; this is my reset wash.
Bond 'n Repair Shampoo & Conditioner Mango Peach
Moisture + Styling
What keeps my hair moisturized and my curls together between wash days.
After rinsing out the deep conditioner. Start with a little, then add more section by section.

Nightly. The wide band keeps it put; flip it inside out for a different look.

Zips onto a standard pillow. Satin side up, obviously.

Detangle + Trim
How I detangle gently on damp hair and dust my ends as the TWA grows out.
Damp, in sections, starting from the ends and working up. The 2-in-1 design means I detangle and smooth without switching tools.
2 in 1 Detangle Brush
Only for hair, only for splits — never kitchen scissors. Dust about 1/4 inch every 6–8 weeks as needed.
Hair Styling Scissor, Assorted Colors
Pairs with the Edge Lux on dry edges. The pointed tip is perfect for swoops.
