Volume and Vibes Only💚
For the days you want your hair to have a little drama (the good kind). These products lift, shape, and keep your vibe light and full.
Leaves my curly hair hydrated, soft, and manageable.
Leave-in Conditioner
This stuff is like peace and quiet in a bottle for frizzy hair. A tiny bit goes a long way — smooths everything down without making it greasy. Smells like you actually tried today.
Intense Smoothing Serum
This is my secret weapon for when my hair looks clean but… doesn’t feel clean. One spray and it’s like I hit refresh — no powdery buildup, no weird texture, just soft, clean vibes.
AirWash™ dry shampoo
Save the best for last with K18 Molecular Repair Hair Oil! It tames flyaways and seals dead ends to provide a smooth, soft finish. As someone with fine curly hair, I have yet to find an oil this lightweight with these phenomenal benefits. Don’t miss ...
Molecular Repair Hair Oil With Anti-Frizz Benefits | K18Hair
I finally understand why Moroccanoil has a cult following. This stuff doesn’t just make your hair look healthy — it makes it behave like it’s been to therapy.
A pump too much? Somehow still fine. A pump too little? Still glossy. It takes frizz, dryn...
Perfect Defense Heat Protectant
Look no further for your style finishing best friend! Maintain moisture with a weightless feel. I use this a lot for finishing any heat style and it leaves my hair feeling smooth and healthy.
Welcome to The Mane Event — where good hair days begin. These shampoos and conditioners are the reason my hair forgives me for all the heat, dye, and chaos I put it through.
I used this before switching to Moroccanoil and between the 2, it was a hard decision. The Redken stopped the breakage and actually allowed my hair to grow for the first time in MONTHS.
Extreme Length Shampoo & Conditioner | Long Hair
I used this twice a week for about 3 months in the winter when my scalp had an unquenchable itch. Nothing could satiate it! After the first wash I noticed a huge difference, and using this before a color application helped the color turn out so much ...
PEPTIDE PREP™ Detox Shampoo For Gentle Clarifying 8.5oz
Having fine curly hair makes it so hard to find a product that actually works without weighing it down. After much peer pressure from coworkers I finally caved and tried it, now I’m HOOKED. My hair is so light and clean for up to 2 days without dry s...
Extra Volume Shampoo & Conditioner Bundle
Love how smooth and shiny this makes my hair, but it’s a bit heavy — more of a deep-conditioning vibe than a daily wash. Great for taming frizz or dry ends, just keep it mid-length down if your hair gets greasy fast.
Elvive Dream Lengths Shampoo & Conditioner Set
As a fellow PCOS and Hypothyroid girly, Nutri-ox is a game changer with those of us that experience hair thinning/loss. Promises results in 30 days, and definitely delivers in 14! It’s very heavy on the menthol so it’s invigorating, and provides a de...
Nutri-ox Hair Products for Hair Loss & Thinning
Hair care that won’t break the bank, and delivers the same results as salon products! I’ve used a few but the Ultralight Smooth system has been my absolute favorite from Nexxus. No weigh down or frizz without compromising manageability in styling. Tr...
Such an amazing brand and available at Sally’s! They have something for all hair types. The keratin line specifically made my hair so soft, and over time it strengthened my hair as well.
It's A 10
As a fellow thin-haired girly, this shampoo is the holy grail. It adds wild volume without weighing the hair down. Use the whole system for best results, but I’ve used this shampoo with K18 and Redken conditioners with no issue!
Whether I’m blonde today or brunette next week, these are the things that keep my color bright, soft, and alive through all my identity crises.
This is sold to the general public and is great if you can’t get into a salon for whatever reason. I currently use the 4NCH and love it. The color lasts about 4-6 weeks without major fade and the tubes have enough for one full application for those o...
Argan Oil Permanent Color
Powered by Heat & Hope
Because let’s be real — some mornings it’s 90% heat tools, 10% blind optimism. These are my ride-or-dies for turning chaos hair into “yeah, I totally tried today” hair.
This 4-in-1 Airstyler had a “Dyson dupe” concept, for a fraction of the price. Though I will admit the Airstyler is bulkier, it is still a lot lighter than a Dyson device making it easier on your wrists and arms. The 4-in-1 features a cool shock to s...
This flat iron is a beast. Heat time is under 60 seconds, 1 hour safety shut off, floating titanium plates — I could go on with the benefits. Take the plunge and try it out — and Sally’s has a love it or return it policy if you need it, but I’m confi...
BaBylissPRO Titanium Flat Iron | Flat Irons
Hands down the best curling iron I’ve used, and I HATE curling irons.
It’s easy to use, heats up fast, and protects your hair❤️
