Being a 2c-3a curly head, I can't put too much moisture on my head. But this right here? Paired with her conditoner sister? The perfect amount of moisture to not weight down my curls. It leaves my hair feeling clean, soft, and shiny. Love having this...

Volume, but make it light. For when I want airy, fluffy curls with serious shape.

I stumbled upon this amazing product at Marshalls and have been a fan of it since. I only need to reapply this spray every 3 wash days to keep the anti-humidity coating.
Hair Chemist CURL Anti Humidity Shine Coat
This hairspray keeps my curls in place without making my hair stiff or sticky. The PNW humidity and wind are no joke, and this hairspray does its best to combat it.

Hair Masks/ Oils
Self-care for your strands. These are my go-to's for deep moisture, shine, and healing. A little TLC goes a long way.
This oil is what I use at the end of my routine to scrunch out the crunch. This oil absorbs quickly and doesn't leave any residue. Leaves my hair feeling smooth, soft, and shinier.
OLAPLEX No.7 Bonding Hair Oil
I need to get the con out of the way for this one… the smell isn't my favorite. BUT I will gladly deal with the smell to get the results after using this mask. This mask helped to bring my curls to life after not knowing I was a curly head after 21 y...
