Wash day
Oil up a couple hours at least before rinsing it out, and then wash and condition like normal. Some days I do a mask instead of conditioner too if I feel dry.
Makes my hair grow after months of plateauing. Saw multiple inches in just a month or two. Put a few drops on before you do a slick back style and massage it in. Stimulates blood flow to the scalp.
Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil
The bottle has so much in it. Massage this just through your ends. No more dry, frizzy ends with this. I do this the day before wash day and it makes my hair so soft.
Cliganic Organic Jojoba Oil 100% Pure 4oz
Expensive, but has the same feeling as getting your hair washed in a salon. Helps with my split ends and keeps my hair healthy and strong. I recommend the gold shampoo and conditioner.
Elevate Your Haircare with Top-rated Shampoos & conditioners
Even if you have coarse hair I would recommend the fine to medium one. This is what I use to do my slick backs and it strengthens my hair so much too.
Fine To Medium Hair Treatment Masque
Tried and true Asian product. They really know what they’re doing. Great for breakage, and a good alternative/dupe to the ouai mask.
Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Hair Protein 100ml
Aftercare
Use these while your hair is still dry before blow drying to protect it and keep her strong.
So lightweight but works so well. Keeps my hair soft and silky without weighing it down and adding oil. Only put on your ends.
Hair Alchemy Fortifying Treatment Serum
Great for blondes. Locks in color and keeps you bright. Forget any purple shampoo that makes you ashy. I love this stuff.
Replenishing Moisture - Caviar Anti Aging CC Cream
It smells yummy and is lightweight. Just a good all around product that doubles as a heat protectant.
Heat Protectant Oil For Hair - Oil For Damaged Hair
Omfg guys it smells so good and it lasts. I spray some on my hairbrush then brush through it and I smell delicious for days. I use it as perfume some days too.
Hair and Body Mist Travel - St. Barts Scent
Styling tools
Drug store grail. The best heat protectant and is so cheap. I just put a few sprays in while it’s wet then blow dry and I’m good for days.
Blow Dry Mist
I wish I could tell you it’s not worth it but it fully is. I got rid of my traditional blow dryer after this. I just use the brush and smoothing attachment and my hair looks like I got a blowout.
Dyson Airwrap™ multi-styler and dryer
What’s used in almost all salons in Utah. The creator of the infamous “Utah curl”. Jk but seriously I use the long barrel and it makes it so fast and easy with no snagging or pulling on your hair.
Curling Irons & Wands
Cutest little beach waves. I find it looks best if I Dutch braid my hair while it’s damp, then after it dries in the braid I use this to touch up some pieces. Lasts for dayssss and is so easy.
TYMO ROVY Ionic Deep Waver Curling Wand
Doesn’t leave your hair crunchy, but makes my curls last so long. It also smells amazing while protecting your hair.
