Hairstyling: Straight with Heat Styling

I wear my hair fairly natural, except for heat styling.  I don't do color or chemical treatments. These are the products I use to achieve a straight look with heat styling.

This is a permanent fixture in my hair routine. It's lightweight. It smells great and protects my hair from heat straightening. I apply it while wet post-cleanse and again to finish look after heat styling.

Prepping for heat styling: The instructions say to spray on wet or dry hair. I prefer to apply to damp hair, air dry, and then follow up with heat styling.

I have a frizz halo that gives me “post-storm vibes.” I use this sparingly; on those troublesome halos.

Hairstyling: Curls, Curls, Curls!

Curls need hydration at every step, and a little control to define curls and tame frizz.

When you need to add moisture, lock in those spiral curls. My kiddos use this on their hair. I like the large mouth of the container, as you can get the amount you need and work it into the hair.

We have a whole lot of hair in our house, so conditioner comes at a premium, which always needs replenishing. This does the job of conditioning and detangling.

This stuff works well on defining edges along the hairline—it's like using brow wax on your forehead, lol.

Great for short styles and taming flyaways. You can work it in with your fingers for a touchable, workable look. Also, as this is the travel size it's good for those on-the-go moments.
