The hair care products and tools I swear by—as a woman with oily hair and a scalp that gets irritated quickly, i have been experimenting with a routine that works to keep things controlled and clean. Here’s what i use:
Use this before every blow dry! Smells amazing and protects from heat damage.

I keep this big pump bottle right by the front door so we can always and easily sunblock. Play is actually lightweight, with a lowkey smell, and quickly dries. Doesn’t feel sticky or gross like typical sunblock. And this bottle is chefs kiss.
