Shampoos

I don't like to switch up my shampoos that much. My hair is fine and needs products to keep the strands strong, shiny & hydrated.

I loveeee this shampoo for a deep cleanse! It smells amazing and lathers nicely. Doesn't leave my hair feeling dry either. I was pleasantly surprised but I use it like 1-2x a week.

These are the best scrunchies for curly hair! They don't pull on your curls at all! No dents in your curls either. These helped my hair grow evenly, since the smaller scrunchies caused breakage.
