Curly hair is prone to build-up, especially if you style it with creams and gels like I do. That’s why a good clarifying shampoo is an absolute must (despite, what “they” say, sometimes the suds and sulfates are needed). I use this at least once a mo...

This is for my brunette babes or balayage baddies who are tired of their hair pulling that mysterious copper tone that literally no one asked for. Use it once or twice a week to keep your color looking salon fresh and your strands from screaming pump...

Full disclosure: The first time I ever used this product, I didn’t know you’re suppose to wash it out after 10-15 minutes. So, I went about my day using it as a leave-in and honestly, wasn’t too bad. My curls looked and felt amazing.

We don’t skip out on scalp care is this household! The fact that this is a serum and not an oil helps prevent my scalp from feeling like I’m going to cook my last 2 remaining brain cells.

I swear this product has some kind of magic in it. I kid you not, I only use a quarter sized amount for my entire hair and even that is a bit much. The perfect gel with the perfect hold for hot, humid Summer days to keep the frizz away.

As someone with tight curls, I never thought I could use mousse UNTIL I tried this. It leaves my hair feeling super bouncy and lightweight.

The amount of scalp massages I’ve gone through has been a tumultuous ride. Most have teeth that are way tooooo squishy and don’t offer the exfoliation I want. The brittles on these are thin but mighty!

I do NOT use anything other than a microfiber towel when drying my hair. Towels are a big no-no as they encourage frizz!

Every curly-haired person NEEDS, a wide tooth comb in order to tangle without literally ripping your curls out of your head.

On those slick back days, when I don’t have the patience to deal with my hair, a smoothing boar bristle brush is a necessity. Perfect for taming flyaways, sculpting that part, and giving that clean, “I know what I’m doing with my life” look. This pai...

For those slick backs days where I need my edges/little pelitos to stay put! I LOVE the double-edge comb and brush on this that allows for separation and smoothing.

For the most part, I air dry my hair BUT on the days where I don’t want to walk around looking like a wet poodle, I diffuse. I diffuse with the idea of getting the most volume I can get- a little frizz never hurt nobody! (I swear this blow-dryer spec...

I don’t care what anyone says, a good hair tie can change your life. Those with curly hair know that once it goes up, it doesn’t come down (dare I say our hair…defies gravity), but with the right hair tie, that’s doesn’t have to be the reality.
