How I make my curls last days 👌🏻
In the shower 🚿
Because I have curly hair I tend to wash my hair only 1-2 times a week. That, plus the curly product build up, means I usually need a strong cleansing shampoo by the time I wash my hair. Each time I use this shampoo my scalp gets a refresh. If you wa...

Fighting humidity but I want to wear my curls? I add a little of this to hold my curls in place :) a little goes a long way. But if you have THICKER hair then add a bit more. Trial and error 🫶🏻
Straightening your curly hair? Just because we love (or learning to love) our curls doesn’t mean we don’t want them straight sometimes (or all the time lol). Try this and use the roller brush I have in this list too- blow out yur hair and then follow...
Use this brush when you’re blowing out your curly hair. WARNING: either end of the brush does get hot but the grip these brush bristles hold on your hair (allowing it to hold tight while blow drying) really does the trick for curls👌🏻 pair this with...
