Bond repair
At-home bond repair treatments I use regularly
Hair repair GOAT! K18 is the easiest bond repair, at least in my opinion. Shampoo, towel dry, apply, wait 4 minutes. Then continue as usual or go back and condition afterwards.
K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask
Another great bond repair product. I love that this is a pre-shampoo that can sit for as long as you wish (at least 10 min), so I love to apply it in the morning and then wash my hair a couple hours later.
Epres Bond Repair Treatment
I've been using this for several months and I've liked using it. It's an easy-to-use leave in product. I often use it after I shampoo and k18 and if I don't feel like conditioning after that I just use this and find it keeps my hair pretty soft and manageable.
Living Proof Triple Bond Complex
The OG! Really the entire Olaplex line is great, but if I could only have one, I would pick #3.
Olaplex Nº.3 Hair Perfector
I only just found out that Garnier is cruelty-free! I used this recently and was very impressed with how good my hair felt after!
Garnier Fructis Hair Filler Bonding Pre Shampoo
Shampoo & conditioner
My favorite shampoos, conditioners, and masks.
I love this shampoo and it's one I go for on most wash days. I love the scent and makes my hair feel so clean without feeling stripped.
Olaplex Nº.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo
Love this conditioner. It's not a super heavy product, so it leaves the hair feeling soft and conditioned but doesn't leave it feeling weighed down.
Olaplex Nº.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner
Amika's The Kure Intense Bond Repair Mask will leave your hair feeling super silky smooth. I skip conditioner a lot of the time to do bond repair, so when I do condition I really look forward to using this!
Amika The Kure Intense Strength Repair Mask
This shampoo smells so good. And it’s very gentle. It’s the shampoo I prefer to use before K18 because it leaves my hair so soft I don’t mind skipping conditioner.
Pureology Strength Cure Shampoo
Just like the shampoo it pairs with, Pureology Strength Cure Conditioner smells so good! It only have to left on for a couple minutes, but still leaves the hair as soft as a more intense mask.
Pureology Strength Cure Conditioner
The only purple shampoo I use.
Olaplex Nº.4P Blonde Enhancer Toning Shampoo
Love this shampoo. It smells SO GOOD. Like Smarties candy! Absolutely divine.
Vegamour GRO Revitalizing Shampoo with Vegan Keratin
Love the conditioner as much as the shampoo! Smells like Smarties candy and I love it.
Vegamour GRO Revitalizing Conditioner with Vegan Keratin
I was SO impressed with this hair mask. Intense 3 minute treatment? Yes, please! I love saving time.
IGK Offline Hydration Mask
Leave-ins
I love a good leave-in and these are my favorite ones
I just started using this but so far I like it! It seems to work well on dry hair as well as damp. I also love anything with argan oil so I think this will become one of my staples.
Kitsch Moisturizing Argan Milk Leave-In Conditioner
One of my favorite leave in products! I love pairing it with their hair oil.
Olaplex Nº.6 Bond Smoother
This stuff works so well. It’s my go-to for before heat styling. It really does coat and protect the hair.
Color Fanatic Multi-Tasking Leave-In Spray - Pureology
LOVE this leave-in treatment! Just spray it on dry hair and wake up with soft locks.
IGK Antisocial Dry Hair Mask
Heat protection
The step you should never forget
You probably know how important heat protection is, but do you know how easy to use this spray is? It's the heat protectant I love most! I use it on dry hair, I don't like how it dries on damp hair.
Moroccanoil Perfect Defense Heat Protectant
LOVE THIS! I use it on damp hair. It makes my hair SO SILKY. I use the original formula, but their silicone-free version is good, too!
Amika The Wizard Detangling Primer
Oils
The best oils I've used to keep my hair soft
My FAVORITE hair oil. It smells SO GOOD and soaks into the hair wonderfully.
Olaplex Nº.7 Bonding Oil
This stuff REALLY works well at toning down yellow tones in the hair and it adds SO MUCH SHINE to the hair! There's only 2 blonde toning products that I'm really impressed by and this is one of them.
Moroccanoil Treatment Purple - Anti-Brass Hair Oil
The perfect finisher to your hair repair routine after K18 mask has sat for 4 minutes! Who doesn't want more repair? A little goes a long way.
K18 Molecular Repair Hair Oil
Dry shampoo
For those days when you just don't want to get your hair wet
I love a good dry shampoo, and I especially love one that smells this good!
Vegamour GRO Dry Shampoo
WOW. The K18 dry shampoo REALLY cleans. It doesn't matter how oily my hair is, this takes care of it. Also seems to last forever - honestly can't believe how long this bottle has lasted.
K18 AirWash Dry Shampoo
Another hit fro Olaplex! This dry shampoo works well and doesn't seem to leave any build up, no matter how much I use. And it smells wonderful.
Olaplex Nº.4D Clean Volume Detox Dry Shampoo
Misc.
Anything else I do for hair care or styling!
I'll never sleep on anything else. I use them, I've gifted them to others, I have extras I take with me when I travel. I love them.
Kitsch Satin Pillowcase
In my never-ending quest for healthy hair, I also predominantly use claw clips instead of hair ties to keep my hair back. I've been doing this for about a year and I do feel like I have less breakage, but either way it's more comfortable than having it in a pony.
Kitsch claw clips
I LOVE THIS CURLING IRON! It's by far the best one I own. Other irons tend to make my hair feel frizzy or the curl isn't even, but this one is incredible.
Chi Lava 1.25 Inch Volcanic Ceramic Curling Iron
Love it so much I have it in 2 barrel sizes. It's just such a great curling iron.
Chi Lava 1 Inch Volcanic Ceramic Curling Iron
LOVE LOVE LOVE. I can't say enough good things about this! This is one of only 2 purple toning products that have actually really impressed me. Definitely worth it!
Pureology Color Fanatic Top Coat + Tone Purple
Vegamour actually works really well if you stay consistent! I just repurchased to start back up, but about a year ago when I was really good about it I had 2 people comment on how much fuller my hair line looked!
Vegamour GRO Hair Serum
