Every girl needs a pack of rattail combs
3-Pack Steel Pin Rat Tail Combs Heat Resistant
Wait till your hair is 80% dry before using this. NOT GOOD for those of you with fine hair. With small enough sections, this saves SOOOO much time blowdrying.
REVLON One-Step Volumizer Hair Dryer Styler
Theeee most effective flat iron, but do not use if your hair is already heat damaged. The plates heat up FAST. I love this for the curling iron feature as well
BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Prima Ionic Flat Iron
I use this flat iron the most even though it's not as effective as my BaByliss. The reason being that the ceramic plates are gentler on my hair.
CHI Ceramic Series 1" Flat Iron Hair Straightener
When I have the energy, I'll use this to massage my scalp in the shower while washing my hair. Scalp health = hair growth lol

WASH
I keep my wash routine super simple! Just these two products. Nothing extra, just the essentials that leave my hair clean, healthy, and easy to manage.
My holygrail!!! Intense moisture repair. If I don't order this from Amazon, I go to Ulta, but Amazon is the best for these jumbo sizes.
Joico Moisture Recovery Shampoo & Conditioner
If you want your hair to grow you NEED to keep your scalp clean. I have dry flaky scalp which shows up even after I wash. This is a great detox and I use it on Ema's hair as well. I'll use this 2-3 a month.
G+H CLEAR+ Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse 10.1oz
STYLE
These are my go-tos for making my hair look put together without a ton of effort. From products that fight frizz to the ones that add shine or hold, this is the little lineup I trust to keep my hair looking good day to day!!
Every day use type of product. 8/10 in terms hold, I have to reapply after about 4-5 hours, but small enough to fit into a purse so it's not a big deal.
