Shelf and Self | Intentionally Curated Finds by Taylor

Sunday Mornings | The Deep Activation (Micro-needling)

I use my Koi Beauty Derma Roller to trigger my scalp’s natural healing response and boost topical absorption! My Rule: I ALWAYS sanitize the roller with SkinSmart before and after use. I use light pressure and never draw blood.

This micro-needling tool with tiny needles creates micro-channels in the scalp to trigger the body's repair response and increase blood flow! It significantly boosts the absorption of my growth serums (like Minoxidil), making the more effective than ...

Koi Beauty Derma Roller Titanium 540 Needles

A medical-grade hypochlorous acid spray that kills 99.9% of bacteria without stinging or irritating open skin! Sanitation is non-negotiable when micro-needling. I use this to keep my roller and scalp sterile to prevent any risk of infection!

SkinSmart Antimicrobial Facial Cleanser

Monday - Saturday Mornings | Daily Growth Support

My goal is to be consistent with follicle stimulation and nutrient delivery! Every morning (except on Sundays), I apply a scalp serum followed by Minoxidil. I view these two products as a team - the scalp serum provides the caffeine and peptide-based...

A light-weight, caffeine and peptide-infused scalp treatment that invigorates the scalp and creates an optimal environment for hair to grow thicker and stronger. It's my daily “multivitamin” for my scalp that addresses thinning without leaving my roo...

Divi Scalp Serum for Thinning Hair - Non-Greasy

The Pre-Wash Oil Barrier (Daily)

Before I step into the shower, I apply OGX Coconut Miracle Oil to my ends (from the ears down) on dry hair! Why I do it: It prevents "hygral fatigue" (the swelling and stretching of the hair when wet) and acts as a shield against harsh surfactants. I...

A rich, ultra-hydrating coconut oil blend that coats the hair fiber to protect it from “hygral fatigue” (water damage) during the wash. It's my protective barrier! By applying this “ears-down” before my shower, I ensure my shampoo cleans my scalp wit...

OGX Coconut Miracle Oil Penetrating Oil

Targeted Cleansing

Regular Wash (Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat/Sun): I use Kirkland Moisture Shampoo and I always double cleanse. The first wash removes surface debris; the second actually cleans the scalp! Clarifying (Tuesdays): I use Redken Hair Cleansing Cream Clarifying Shampoo....

A salon-quality, sulfate free hydrating dup that cleanses without stripping and uses a moisture-rich formula to smooth and soften the hair cuticle. This is my “reliable workhorse.” Since I wash my hair frequently, I need a formula that provides profe...

Kirkland Signature Moisture Shampoo 33.8oz

A high-performance clarifying shampoo that removes mineral build-up from hard water and heavy product residue (like dry shampoo). Once a week, I need a “blank canvas.” This ensured my deep masks and treatments can actually penetrate the hair shaft in...

REDKEN Hair Cleansing Cream Color Safe Clarifying Shampoo

A medicated antifungal shampoo that reduces scalp inflammation and fungal overgrowth that can lead to thinning. It's a powerhouse for scalp health! Ketoconazole is often cited for its ability to help block DHT (the hormone linked to hair loss) on the...

Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 1% Ketoconazole

The Nightly Leave-Ins

I use the Marc Anthony leave-in conditioner spray for protection and the Amika Dream Routine mask for hydration! Use the spray on wet hair to stop breakage and the mask on dry hair to “drink up” moisture (perfect for nights you do not wash your hair)...

A light-weight, strengthening spray infused with Caffeine, Ginseng, and Vitamin E, that provides immediate “slip” for detangling, smooths frizz, and significantly reduces breakage by reinforcing the hair fiber. This is my holy grail for length retent...

Marc Anthony Leave-In Hair Conditioner Spray

A silicone-free, hyaluronic acid-infused cream mask designed to work while you sleep that provides a 72-hour moisture boost, making hair 3x more hydrated my morning. This is my “beauty sleep” secret! I apply it to mid-lengths and ends before bed on n...

Amika Dream Routine Overnight Hydrating Hair Mask

Deep Conditioning & Bond Repair

Conditioning: I use the Kirkland Moisture Conditioner for daily maintenance, but I swap it for my Joico Defy Damage Mask on clarifying/medicated days! I always squeeze out excess water first so the product doesn't just slide off. Bond Repair: I apply...

An intensive, bond-protecting treatment that strengthens the hair's internal bonds and replenishes moisture! This is my “insurance policy” against breakage! It keeps my hair resilient so I can actually retain the length I'm growing!

JOICO Defy Damage Protective Masque

A dual-action “oil-in-serum” treatment formulated with a citric acid bonding complex that penetrates the hair cortex to reinforce weakened bonds while sealing the outer cuticle for immediate shine and heat protection. This is my “multi-tasker.” I use...

L'Oreal Paris Bond Repair+ Hair Oil Serum

Heat Shielding & Styling

I layer my Joico Defy Damage Protective Spray with a cream like Joico Dream Blowout. My goal is "slip" for detangling and total heat protection!

A heat-activated aerosol spray that mends split ends and adds a high-gloss shine! I use this on dry hair specifically. I mist each section right before it touches a flat iron or curling wand. It seals the cuticle and acts as a final “top coat” that l...

JOICO Heat Hero Glossing Thermal Protector

A blow-dry primer that cuts drying time by 50% while protecting up to 450℉. I apply this to damp hair before blow-drying. Because it speeds up the drying process, my hair is exposed to less heat overall, which is vital for healing damage. It leaves m...

JOICO DREAM BLOWOUT GLASS 72hr Frizz Fighter

A leave-in treatment that guards against heat, UV, and pollution, and strengthens that hair's natural defense by 80%. I use it even on air-dry days to shield my hair from environmental stress!

JOICO Defy Damage Protective Shield

The Nightly Scalp Cycle

On my Tretinoin nights (Mon/Fri), I apply the treatment to a bone-dry scalp. Then, I wait 20 minutes—this is my "non-negotiable" step—before applying my Minoxidil. Giving them space is the only way to ensure both products work effectively! On Mainten...

A vasodilator and a Vitamin A derivative! Minoxidil re-actives hair follicles, while Tretinoin increases cell turnover and enhances Minoxidil absorption. The 20-minute gap between applying Tretinoin and Minoxidil is my non-negotiable step for results...
