My go-to hair mask is amika! I love the hydrating mask (orange) and would recommend using the purple mask for blonde hair once every 2 weeks. It really takes out the brass and adds moisture!

This purple shampoo WORKS. One thing I will say, don’t over do it or your hair will get too light and break off. This helps relive the brasiness while maintaining the integrity of your hair.

This is the shampoo I use on a regular basis. It smells wonderful without being super overpowering, it detangler and cleans my hair, but also my scalp really well, and overall my hair has felt really good while using it!

This is the conditioner I use regularly, it makes my hair feel very soft and tangled, and when I rinse it out, my hair continues to feel very smooth! I have Naturally curly hair and I think this is a gray curly hair product

This is one of the first products that TikTok really sold me on, and I feel like lived up to the hype. I can’t say it’s water repellent, but I can’t say that it smells great and it makes your frizz minimize after blow drying!

I love my hairbrush and not just because it’s pink. Wet brush is a great detangler. It’s easy to use when blow drying your hair and overall it does not pull out a bunch of Hair when using it.

I’ve had several Chi straighteners and anytime I’ve tried a different brand, I’ve regretted it. I LOVE my chi and my hair feels so glossy when I use it! Personally love the 1inch.

Babybliss is one of the top dogs in the hair styling industry. I think it’s a powerful blow dryer and doesn’t give that heat smell (iykyk).
