Wash Day
The shampoos, conditioners and treatments I actually use to keep my hair clean, soft and healthy without weighing it down. I have a lot of fine hair, so moisture is important—but anything too heavy is a no-go.
I use this with the matching shampoo and love how soft and manageable it leaves my hair. It gives my fine strands enough moisture to help with dryness and tangles without leaving that heavy, coated feeling some conditioners can. My hair feels smoothe...

This has been one of my go-to shampoos for keeping my hair soft and healthy without making it feel weighed down. I have a lot of hair, but the individual strands are very fine, so finding that balance can be tricky. This cleans well without leaving m...

Leave-Ins, Oils & After-Shower Care
What I reach for after washing to detangle, protect and smooth my hair. These are the products that help me keep my ends healthy and add softness and shine without making my fine hair feel greasy or heavy.
This is probably one of the most lightweight leave-in conditioners I’ve ever used. My hair is very fine, so leave-ins can easily be too much and leave it feeling heavy or greasy. This gives me that extra bit of moisture and makes my hair easier to br...

This is one of my favorite products because it gives me heat protection without weighing down my fine hair. I use a small amount before heat styling to help protect my ends, and it also smooths frizz and adds a beautiful shine. So many oils are just ...

My Brushes & Combs
Yes, the brush matters! These are the brushes and combs I actually keep around for everything from everyday detangling to blowouts and styling. Different tools really do make a difference depending on what I’m doing with my hair.
This brush is amazing for distributing your natural oils from your scalp all the way through your ends. It’s especially great for those days when shampoo just isn’t happening—dirty hair, don’t care! A few good passes through my hair help smooth every...
THE MERMAID BRUSH - ESSENTIAL BOAR BRISTLE ...
This is the brush I reach for most often for my kids. The teeth are spaced farther apart, so it works through tangles really well without feeling like it’s grabbing and pulling at every little knot. Kids’ hair can be much finer and thinner than adult...

Olivia Garden Ceramic + Ion Nano Thermic Styler Hair Brush
This is one of those simple tools that does a little bit of everything. The pointed end is great for clean sectioning, and I love having wider teeth on one side and finer teeth on the other depending on what I’m doing. I use it for cutting, sectionin...

When I blow-dry my hair, my goal is to get it dry efficiently without sitting there blasting it with ...

Hair Accessories I Actually Wear
The pretty little extras I actually reach for. I love hair accessories that make an everyday bun, twist or quick updo feel a little more polished—especially pieces that are beautiful, well made and easy to throw in when I don’t feel like doing much w...
A claw clip, but make it pretty! I love this one because the gold metal instantly makes a quick twist or messy updo look a little more polished and intentional. I have a LOT of hair, so I need a clip that can actually hold it—not just look cute. This...
