Perfect solo product! Gives some nice hold without the heavy crunch, great over styled waves or curls or as a heat protector under a blowout for some fullness and hold. Your perfect leave in, hair spray and heat protector all in one. Awesome for scru...

A great overall Hairspray formula that is always in my kit and at home for my own use. Perfect setting, great before and after your curls, while they are cooling and before a blowout! It definitely gives great hold and body.

Such a great leave in. Definitely up there as one of my favorites. It does everything you need from a leave in and in my opinion, a little more. You get heat protection, smoothing, conditioning and shine. A super light mist you can put on towel dried...

A gem for my girls with natural wave and curl who want a leave in that will soften and lightly define! can be used as part of your diffusing routine, or if you're me and just want to put something in towel dried hair and go, this is a go to.

A beautiful lightweight formula that gives the hold where you need as well as leaves behind a pleasant scent. Like a nice perfume that also holds your style in place. Great for everyday styling.
This Is A Medium Hairspray
 
Anel Saraí profile picture
Great formula, works for every hair type and texture like a dream. Lightly scented in a way that isn’t overpowering, love it for every day styling. Will add a little more texture as the name suggests, for those who like that scrunch.
This Is A Dry Texturizer
 
Anel Saraí profile picture
A beautiful smoothing cream, detangler, leave in and blowout cream all in one. It is a very concentrated product so I usually only use a pump or two on towel dried hair, focusing it on the ends and anywhere I need smoothing. It helps you comb through...
LOVE Smoothing Perfector
 
Anel Saraí profile picture
I am not usually big on dry shampoo, so I feel like I have to recommend one that I do like. This formula isn't too aggressive on the scalp, so it is my current choice. A little goes a long way, good for a refresh but I also love to style with it/spra...
Jet Lag
 
Anel Saraí profile picture
A great dry shampoo that isn't harsh on the scalp but effective. If you want something lightweight that can be layered on the hair and a bit closer on the root, this is a great choice. A little goes a long way.
This is an Invisible Dry Shampoo

Just as the name states, a miracle worker on hair that needs a boost of strength. I also happen to love this mask on anyone with wavy and curly hair as it does wonders on texture, restoring shine and softness to all.
NOURISHING Vegetarian Miracle Mask
 
Anel Saraí profile picture
10/10 for having a name that made me smirk but also for being an effective product that is as low effort as it gets. You spray it on clean dry hair and that's it. A great single product to use if nothing else to get your hair healthier and stronger.

Anel Saraí profile picture
Okay, I know this is a great oil for the face and body as well, but I have a formula that I use for hair that is beautiful but essentially it is this oil with a lovely scent. If you are going to get an oil that is easy on the wallet to put a little o...

Your all in one leave in for silky hair. My favorite especially for my girls with thicker, wavier or curlier hair. It leaves the hair soft when used to air dry and is light enough to be used for its conditioning benefit along with any other favorite ...

Love this shampoo! It’s gentle and hydrating, great for day to day use. Would recommend it specifically for anyone with medium to thick hair, wavy and curly textures even as it gives a beautiful lather and cleanse. Rich and worth every penny.

A beautiful purple tinted wash for my blondes. I love this formula because it is not as drying as some of these kind of washes can be, so it is a safe wash to maintain blonde regularly. Would have this on hand and wash with it, using it as needed of ...
BLONDE.ANGEL.WASH
 
Anel Saraí profile picture
A beautiful luxurious shampoo. It is very rich, and yet it works through the hair easily, leaving it cleansed but not roughed up. It preserves the hair very well, so it is a favorite to me for anyone that washes their hair more often.

Anel Saraí profile picture
A good quality curling iron for a good price. I love that it is a normal length barrel as well, the long barrel irons are great to work with behind the chair but unless you have long hair they can also be a little trickier to get used to. Anyway, for...
