The Basics of Haircare

This is where I start with my hair. The things we normally think of when we think of “washing” our hair. But, it's important to find the right products for you.

For years I've used Live Clean. It's not the best option, but it's better than most other shampoos at this price point. Because it's so affordable, this is a wonderful starting point.

This is a great shampoo. It's a bit more expensive than Live Clean, but still so affordable.

I love doing a hair mask once a week to show it some extra love. This hair brand is great.

Tools for Thickness and Growth

I've gone on a journey of perfecting my routine mainly to thicken my hair at the scalp and I am happy with the results so far. But, the length is unbelievable. It's never grown so fast.

This scalp serum is a huge yes. I use this two or three times a week. This one is an investment, but you will see results. I massage it into my scalp after a shower, but you can use it on dry hair as well.

Massaging your scalp can be helpful. There are tools like this one, but I haven't had great results with these personally. The BEST way to do it is with your hands. Normally when i'm in the bath, I'll put on a video and just sit and massage my scalp ...

Rosemary oil. The rumours are true!! You can buy one on Amazon, or probably a lot of health and wellness stores. But I make it myself and it's very simple. Boil a pot of water, put a heat safe bowl on top, some avocado oil and fresh rosemary. Cook it...

Much like the oil, I've found success with rosemary water. This I also make at home and it's even easier. Just boil the rosemary in some water and store it in the fridge. I spray this in my hair after every shower and it makes it a lot easier to brus...

Derma rolling! I don't do this all the time, but just when I need some extra hair care love. Always after massaging my scalp and before the hair oil.

This exact wet brush (mine is blue hehehe). Brushing my hair IN the shower has been a game changer. Many people say don't brush your hair when it's wet, or after oiling because it's weak. But, using this brush in the shower when my hair is literally ...

A boar brush has also been a game changer for brushing with dry hair. I still loose a lot of hair, but this is great for dispersing the hair oil at your scalp through the rest of your hair to make it feel thick and silky smooth.

Braid your hair before bed, especially if you sleep with wet hair. This helps protect it so there is less damage and breakage.
