After 4 kids, apparently my hair decided it had done enough and started abandoning ship. 😂😭 So here we are—my “please grow back and let me keep what I have left” hair care list!
These are all the things I’m using or loving to help take better care...

Eva NYC Therapy Session Deep Conditioning Hair Mask - 13.5 fl oz
Microfiber hair towels are great because they're super absorbent, reduce drying time, minimize frizz, and are gentle on your hair, which helps prevent damage.
Hair Towels & Shower Caps - Body Care - 28 Products
One of those things I wish I bought WAY sooner! I absolutely love my blowout brush because I can dry AND style my hair at the same time, and it gives me so much more volume than just letting it air dry. My biggest thing is that if I go to bed with my...
Revlon Hair Dryer Brush
If you still want your ponytail, swap those super-tight elastics for softer hair ties! (Scrunchies work too) I’m at the point where if something can help me stop unnecessarily pulling and breaking my hair, I’m doing it. Cheap, easy and something I’l...
Hair Ties in Hair Accessories
Another member of my “retiring the death-grip Mom Bun” collection. 😂 Claw clips let me get my hair up and out of my face without pulling it into a super-tight ponytail every day. Plus there are SO many cute ones now that I can pretend this decision ...
Claw Clips: Stylish Hair Accessories in Sizes & Styles
The key word here is LIGHTWEIGHT because my fine hair can go from freshly washed to “haven’t showered in six days” REAL quick. I use just a tiny bit through my ends to smooth everything out and make them feel softer without putting it anywhere near m...
1.5 oz Lightweight Hair Oil for Frizz Control - OUAI
If I’m going to use my beloved blowout brush, we’re at least going to TRY not to fry the hair I’m working so hard to grow. I use heat protectant before styling to give my hair a little extra protection from all that heat. One of those boring steps I ...
Heat Protectant
This has become a MUST for me. If my hair is easier to brush, I’m not pulling, tugging and snapping nearly as much of it off. I concentrate it through my lengths and ends instead of loading it onto my scalp because this fine-haired girl does NOT need...
Leave-In Conditioner - Hair - 158 Products
I toss and turn WAY too much in my sleep, so anything that means less friction and tangling overnight is worth trying in my book. Plus they’re ridiculously comfortable and make my bed feel a little more luxurious. Hair care that requires me to litera...
Satin Pillowcases in Various Colors
I lived in tight Mom Buns for YEARS and now I’m over here trying to baby every hair left on my head. 😂 Satin scrunchies are much gentler and don’t grab and pull at my hair like regular elastics can. Cheap little switch that I wish I’d made a long ti...
Silk Scrunchies for Gentle Hair Care
If you color, bleach or use heat on your hair, ADD THIS CATEGORY. I’m trying to grow healthier hair, but I’m also not giving up being blonde, so we have to compromise somewhere. I love a good bond treatment for making my damaged hair feel stronger, s...
OLAPLEX - 3.3 oz No.3PLUS Complete Bond Repair Pre- ...
A good addition for people dealing with hard water. I wouldn’t call it a hair-growth product, but it’s a nice “hair environment” recommendation.
Easy Install Shower Filters for Chlorine Removal
Different enough from your wide-tooth comb to deserve its own rec. Especially useful for fragile hair when you’re trying to stop ripping through knots.
Unbrush Brush for Gentle Detangling
BIG yes. You can still have styled hair without putting a curling iron on it every day.
Heatless Curling Set | Foam Rollers & Satin Wrap Curls
Absolutely belongs on a mom hair list. 😂 Especially if you’re trying to stretch wash days without loading the scalp with oils.
Batiste Dry Shampoo for Hair Refresh
I’m at the point in my hair journey where I’m trying to take care of it from ALL angles. A good hair, skin & nails vitamin is an easy little addition to my daily routine and usually includes things like biotin and other vitamins and minerals that...
Hair Skin and Nails in Vitamins and Supplements
Doesn’t magically glue a destroyed split end back together forever 😂, but a smoothing/sealing serum can improve the appearance and protect fragile ends until haircut day.
Kenra Professional - Triple Repair Split End Mending Serum
YES. We’re allowed to work on growing it AND fake it in the meantime. 😂 Perfect for filling in a wider-looking part or sparse-looking hairline.

Wash Day and Treatments
For when my scalp needs a complete RESET. Between dry shampoo, styling products, oils and everything else I put in my hair, sometimes my regular shampoo just isn’t cutting it. I use a clarifying shampoo occasionally to get all that buildup out and st...
Odele Clarifying Shampoo for Buildup Removal for All Hair ...
I don’t skip conditioner anymore! My ends are the oldest and most beat-up part of my hair, so they need all the help they can get. I concentrate conditioner through my lengths and ends so they’re softer, easier to detangle and hopefully less likely t...
