items These are my go-to hair products and tools! I have low-porosity, straight Asian hair—which means it takes longer to fully soak in water and dry. I’ve learned that lighter, protein-free products work best for me.

An easy way to check your hair porosity: drop a clean strand of hair into a cup of water. Knowing your porosity helps you choose the right products for your hair type!
Hair Porosity Test
I've had this for 5 years now and nothing else compares. This dries my hair SO MUCH FASTER than others! My strands do not feel brittle or “cooked." It's not too loud and comfortable to use. I LOVE the longer cord. Definitely look into it if you're se...
T3 | Hairdryer
I love curling my hair and I can always rely on T3 products. My iron has held up for almost 10 years. It heats up quick, easy to hold, and hair does not get caught in the clamp. This has a CERAMIC coating, so you know your curls will stay shiny and p...
T3 | Single Pass Curling Iron
THE BEST hair clip — hands down! Yes, it’s a bit pricey, but totally worth it. It actually holds up your hair (even thick hair!) and the quality is top-tier. Plus, the colors and designs are beyond cute. You’ve got to try at least one!
Emi Jay | Big Effing Hair Clip
If you want that extra OOMPH to deep cleanse your scalp - this is it. It's a great tool to have to gently exfoliate your scalp. Massaging your scalp can help with hair growth and it feels very refreshing! You can purchase scalp massagers from so many...

[My go-to everyday shampoo] Frequently repurchased! Perfect for my low-porosity asian hair. It’s a bit pricey BUT - it’s worth it for me. So many shampoos leave my scalp itchy. This is the only daily shampoo for now that doesn’t do that! It's safe fo...
Moroccan Oil | Hydrating Shampoo
A clarifying shampoo is ESSENTIAL to your hair care routine. Clarifying shampoos should NOT be used daily- it’ll be too stripping. You need to maintain natural oils in the scalp. I recommend using this a minimum of 1x a week (depending on how much product build up is on your scalp).
Ouai | Detox Clarifying Shampoo
Highly recommend this as a daily conditioner! It smells AMAZING—like pineapples! It’s lightweight but still deeply conditions. A little goes a long way. This was such a surprising gem. Now it’s a must-have in my routine!
Tsubaki | Premium Hair Mask
Recent gem to revive life-less hair! This Korean product has worked wonders on repairing my hair when it feels dry. Many hair serums or creams tend to weigh my hair down. This one does not leave a coating or make my hair oily! It also acts as HEAT PR...
Repit Hair Repair Rich Creme for Damaged Hair
This isn't too heavy on my hair. It hasn't cause me acne - there are NO pore clogging ingredients!! It also smells nice! I especially love the travel-sized version. TIP: Let the product dry in your hair a bit before applying heat (this goes for any a...
Bumble and Bumble | Heat Protectant
Hair still feels like hair! I've been a fan of this even before the packaging changed. My curls usually fall flat and I hate when hairspray leaves it crunchy or overly scented. THIS ONE DOES NOT DO THAT :)
