CALLING ALL MY GREASY HEADED BESTIES!! This dry shampoo is no joke. Your scalp is literally going to look clean. My favorite for adding natural volume, absorbing odors, and LASTING DAYS.
Note: there is a learning curve due to it being a straight up...
plant & mineral refresh: dry shampoo
I cannot stress enough how worth the money this is. It’ll heal your hair, the scent is amazing but still light, basically glued your split ends together. Put it in wet or dry. Style, or air dry. These rock, idk what else to say
nurturing drops: split ends sealer
A new addition to my roster, this makes your hair feel insane. So so so so soft and silky. AMAZING for extensions! Works for literally every hair texture
Money Mist | Lightweight Leave-In Conditioner Spray
I use this on damn near every client. A great everyday leave-in cream, with enough smoothing power for a perfect blow out if you’re feeling freaky. Works great on it’s own but plays wells with others (you can layer this with other products)
Evo Easy Tiger Smoothing Balm 200ml
This mousse is so light and fluffy but also has the ability to create a cast. Great for my curlies but also works wonders as a blow out mouse for volume. (Use generously if curly, sparingly for blowout)
Evo Whip It Good Moisture Mousse 200ml
This girl has been with me through thick and mf thin. Hands down the BEST for bangs. Spray on dirty or clean and blow dry it in for perfect volume and oil absorption.
SPIRITUALIZED Dry Shampoo Mist
Amazing for curls/waves that also need a boost in texture. This is like a sea salt spray and a light weight gel had a perfect lil bb. My favorite for fine/medium textures (not very moisturizing so folks with high friz, I love Flux Potion better)
JELLY | Pink Himalayan Texture Infusion for Hair
A very liquid-y gel that’s extremely easy to work with. My favorite for any and all curls. Works wonders on its own, or layering with moisture products.
flux potion: styling treatment for hair
Think of this as a wet hairspray with heat protection. I use this on my wet to set waves for an air dry, or on dry hair before I heat style. Because it’s like a hairspray, it has light hold and helps with frizz while still being touchable and soft 😛
SETSPRAY | Semi-Precious Tri-Phase Wonderworking Hairspray
Hot Tools is OG to the industry and have been for a reason. The curling irons are very reasonably priced, durable, and consistent in design. I especially recommend the long barrel ones.
Are there curling irons out there that are fancier and potenti...
Curling Irons & Wands
shampoo + conditioner
Angel wash shampoo and conditioner is my go-to rec for people wanting a little bit of everything. It’s got a great lather, spreads well so a little goes a long way, and gives a squeaky clean feeling while still keeping moisture. Plus it smells like a...
ANGEL.WASH
I used Oribe for years, and have since switched to a more sustainable/affordable brand for my clients, BUT!! I can’t deny this shampoo is magic for your hair. The shine and softness is literally instant. Unfortunately, it absolutely is worth the craz...
Gold Lust Repair & Restore Shampoo - Oribe Hair Care
Specifically the Pure Harmony shampoo and Hydrating conditioner. PERFECT for curly hair of pretty much every texture. (For extremely kinky hair, it might not suds up the best. For that I’d recommend Virtue Curly shampoo <3)
Shampoo – Innersense Organic Beauty Inc
tools + accessories
This was the first big girl blow dryer I got after hair school and IT’S STILL KICKIN’! I used it behind the chair for probably 5 years, then made the switch to the pro Dyson. She now lives in my home and is my primary dryer there.
This is my top re...
BaBylissPRO Rapido Dryer (BLACK)
My favorite of these is specifically the extra long ultra slim version. Incredibly durable, slim enough to go allllllll the way to the roots
Nano Titanium Flat Irons
This brush is hands down the best for scrubbing your scalp without tangling it up!! I’ve tried soooo many scalp brushes and for the longest time I thought maybe they just weren’t for me. Cut to- manta brush changing my life (and scalp)
Manta Hair
I’ve been singing the praises of these pins for over a decade. Two of these bad boys will lock a bun in place all day. I especially love them for half up styles :)
Goody SlideProof Mini Spin Pins - 3 Ct
Flat clips reign supreme!!! Teleties really are my fav because of how sturdy they are. Don’t waste your money on the cheap ones, get the real deal and you won’t need another one ever again.
Plus, you can still lean your head against the car seat wi...
Nearly Unbreakable Hair Clips That Look Great
