It has taken me years of trial and error to stop hating my fine, frizzy hair and work with I was born with. Turns out, conventional hair care advice such as constant brushing and heavy product use doesn’t always apply to curly hair, especially when it’s on the finer side (a double whammy). I am proud to present my simple curly hair routine for my 2A/2B curls and fine, high-porosity hair! This routine took me years to figure out with lots of trial and error along my hair evolution. Always keep in mind that everyone’s hair is unique, so experiment with what looks and feels good to you. However, these products are all ones that I use daily. They are budget-friendly and accessible to anyone ranging from a busy mom to a Type A influencer. Good luck on your hair care journey 🫶🏼

I’ve recently increased my tretinoin strength from 0.025% to 0.05% after using it for a year. So far, I haven’t had the nasty side effects of heavy irritation and redness but I largely attribute that to the caution I take with moisturizing ingredients and avoiding negative interactions between tretinoin and the other active skincare ingredients I’m using. I like to alternate between different types of products (moisturizers, hydrating serums, exfoliators, actives etc.) so that I actually use all the products I want to try. Here’s are my favorites so far:
