For me when I really need to deep clean my scalp, I use it 2-3 times a month and a little goes a long way. I also use a scalp massager when working this shampoo through my hair just to make sure I’m cleaning it thoroughly. It definitely strips all th...

There’s so many good things I can say about this hair mask but I want to start off by saying I love the smell of Cecred products. It’s a very spa like essential oils type of smell, which brings me back to this mask and how invigorating the smell is. ...

Because I often heat style my hair, this product is my little secret for keeping my chances of heat damage to a minimum. It’s a 90 second spray I use right before I blow dry. So after washing, I towel dry, then I spray my leave-in conditioner, then h...

I know this is a curl defining gel but I use it for my slick back buns. I don’t know it just works. I don’t have any flaking and my hair is never crunchy.

Literally a one and done product. There’s a new pink one that’s limited edition that’s so cute but I already have the original blue color. I I’ll take this 5 in 1 styler over a Dyson any day.

This is essential for wrapping your hair at night after heat styling. I don’t know what else to say about it lol. If you straighten your hair want to preserve it by wrapping your hair at night, you need this.

This is the silk turban I use at night and I love this one so much better because I do sometimes need to go outside with a bonnet on to walk my dog early mornings or at night so yeah lol. The traditional bonnet slips off and this one is adjustable.
