Stay away from Olaplex and try this instead for bleached and damaged hair.
Shop Acidic Bonding Concentrate Hair Care Products
This is amazing for the summer months. I have wavy hair and it eliminates my frizz and creates a perfect beachy tosseled look. It doesn't dry out my hair either.
Sea Salt Spray with UV Protection | Not Your Mother's
I know the price point is higher on this but I have been using it since it came out over a decade ago and there is NO replacement for the OG. PLUS you'll smell like a supermodel. The hair absorbs it totally and it never leaves a greasy residue. Perfe...
Moroccanoil
Skincare
This is a great daily moisturiser for sensitive skin. It didn’t cause any irritation or breakouts for me even in humid and hot summers in Ohio. It’s very lightweight, not heavily scented, and super affordable.

This is sooo good for gingers or fair skinned people. The green base rinses off to the most beautiful natural glow.

Amazing for sensitive skin. It cleanses without over drying.

Murad Stress-Less Supplement - Calm & Relaxation
I only use it twice per week and the small bumps have disappeared from my skin finally. No more hormonal acne either!

I tried this after my Dior Lip Oil ran out and it is LEGIT. It's a perfect dupe for just $8.
Glow Reviver Tinted Lip Oil
As a ginger I can't leave my house without mascara. I will only use this one. It doesn't smear after an hour of cardio and comes off so easily in tubes. It doesn't weight my lashes down either like most.

Amazing for between my brow tints when the blonde starts poking through. Creates a real hair like fill in for sparse brows.
