This hair cream is perfect if you’re going a on a vacation where you know you’ll be in a humid environment. A little bit goes a long way! I just take a quarter sized amount in my hand and take it through sopping wet hair. Then I let my hair air dry a...

Perfect for travel so I don’t have to take the large hair brush with me. This one barely takes up any space, fits into the palm of my hand, and still does a great job.

Alternate this with my other shampoo. It smells AMAZING and it’s nice because you use it before your shower and directly on the scalp, so no mess. Just put it in between sections directly on the roots and get in the shower after 5 minutes or so and s...

Dries curls well and doesn’t take much time. I usually air dry my hair but when I need a quick dry I use this to speed up the process

I usually air dry my hair but if I’m short on time I use this hair dryer with the diffuser attachment for my curls. It works quickly to dry my curls with minimal frizz and heat damage. And it’s not too loud as other dryers can be.

This is a perfect finishing touch for my ends!! The smell of the whole line is very palo santo, so woodsy and earthy, I love it. You just need a little bit of this rubber in between your palms and then dispersed on your ends for a smoothing effect. A...

I love using this pre wash. It is really relaxing but also helps to stimulate the scalp for growth. I pair it with a hair oil which really helps to open the hair follicle which in turn helps with growth

This is great to use with the metal scalp massager I also recommend to get blood flowing to your scalp and support hair growth. Rosemary is beneficial for this purpose and works great. The scalp massage feels the best too 😍
