DAY 1: HAIR
Kicking off the 12 Days of Favorites with the products that got me through this year’s chaos. These are my hair staples. These are the shampoos, masks, and styling products that survived postpartum regrowth, mom-life schedules, sweaty school pickups,...
This is the BEST product I have EVER used to help me with flakiness on my scalp and product build up. I like to use this once a week before I shower to keep my scalp squeeky clean!
Biolage Scalp Sync Purifying Concentrate
This coconut oil is BOMB for putting on the midpoint of my hair to the bottom before showering. It helps soften and protect my hair before my wash routine!
OGX Extra Strength Damage Remedy + Coconut Oil
Hands down the BEST clarifying shampoo I have ever tried. I know this is PRICEY, but I seriously can't get enough of it. I only use 1x a week and it lasts a great amount of time!
K18 Biomimetic Hairscience PEPTIDE PREP™ Clarifying Detox Shampoo
If you have thinner hair, I would recommend this oil from OGX instead of the other one on this list. It won't weigh it down as much as the other one would. If you have thicker or more course hair get the other!
OGX Coconut Oil Weightless Hydrating Mist
This is THE BEST shampoo for thicker and more dry hair. LOVE this stuff!
10.1 oz All Soft Shampoo - Redken
I have NEVER tried a conditioner I liked better. And I have tried a lot. My FAV if you have dry hair.
10.1 oz All Soft Conditioner - Redken
If your hair isn't dry, or your main focus is more for damage, this line is AMAZING from Redken!
Redken - 10.1 oz Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo
Conditioner for ABC line that I mentioned in my video. Great for anyone with color treated hair especially!
10.1 oz Acidic Bonding Concentrate Conditioner - Redken
Loreal's Elvive line is SO good. Specifically the Glycolic Acid version. This is newer to me so I don't feel it is fair to label it as a FAVORITE, but I have been extremely impressed and is great if you are looking for something from the drugstore! T...
Loreal Elvive Glycolic Gloss
This has absolutely changed my hair. This is what I credit to helping me be able to go so long between haircuts and be able to grow my hair out. Pricey? Yes. Worth it? To me YES.
K18 Biomimetic Hairscience Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask
Best mask I have used HANDS DOWN. I've tried so many high-end masks and this one puts them all the shame.
Dove Hair Bond Strength 10in1 Serum Mask
My FAVORITE product to put in right after the shower. Detangles, smooths, it does it all! And smells so much better than so many of these multiuse products.
12 Benefits Leave-In Conditioner Spray
Hands down the BEST SMELLING hair product I own. And it truly does cut my drying time in half at least!
Kenra Professional - 6.8 oz Platinum Blow-Dry Spray
This truly helps protect and heal your hair. It is also SO lightweight. I am obsessed with K18 products as you can tell haha.
Molecular Repair Hair Oil With Anti-Frizz Benefits | K18Hair
This is my favorite hair oil when I REALLY need more hydration and to tame my frizz. Perfect for Day 3+ Hair.
2.0 oz Ghost Weightless Hair Oil - Verb
The BEST heat protectant when I do use heat. Also smooths my hair and makes it so soft!
SexyHair Healthy Smooth & Seal Spray 6oz
This is SO good at making my hair look smooth, healthy, shiny, and all things good when I am styling it!
Shine Flash Glass-Like Moisturizing Shine Spray
I have tried MANY texture sprays through the years and this is SO good. Smells great, and actually gives me the messy (in the best way), voluminous hair I want when using this!
Texture
This is the BEST hairspray for when you want hold but no crunch!
Brushable Hairspray - Redken
If you need your hair IN PLACE, this is your girl!
Kenra Professional - 10.0 oz Volume Spray 25
Day 2: SKINCARE
Welcome to Day 2 of my 12 Days of Favorites. This list is going over skincare essentials. Not the complicated stuff. Not the 12-step routines.

This cleanser is first of all HUGE so it will last you forever, but it is also made with the VAST majority of it being glycerin which is a phenomenal ingredient. This is going to cleanse your face without you getting dry or stripped!
Prequel Skin Gleanser Moisturizing Face Wash
Prequel's cleansing oil is PHENOMENAL at removing makeup and DOES NOT have a nasty smell like lots of cleansing oils do.
Pre-Gleanse Cleansing Oil Intended For The First Cleanse
Vanicream is TRIED AND TRUE for me. If you want a no-fuss, hydrating cleanser that is going to do its job, and feel amazing doing it, this is your girl. I have gone through a dozen bottles of these at least.
Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser 8 fl oz
This is the high-end vitamin c where I truly noticed a difference in my skin for the first time. It is what made me truly believe in vitamin c haha. Pros: It is AMAZING for sensitive skin, it has other incredible antioxidants and other skin loving be...
Alto Advanced Defense & Repair Serum
Naturium is the CLOSEST thing I have found in terms of user experience to the SB one. I am not saying the actives and ingredients are dupes but this is what I mean: It also DOES NOT smell like hot dogs and is PERFECT for sensitive skin. I have VERY s...
Naturium Vitamin C Complex Anti-Aging Serum
If you are looking for a no fuss moisturizer, look no further than this one from Vanicream! If you have SUPER dry skin I would go for something a little more hydrating but if you are oily, combo, or normal, this is a GREAT pick!
Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer w/ Ceramides & Hyaluronic Acid
If you want a drugstore option and you have dry skin, this one from La Roche Posay is AMAZING. One of my favorite moisturizers of ALL TIME.
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermallergo Ultra Repair
If you want a moisturizer that feels like straight up silk and is a luxurious sensory experience PLUS ultra hydrating, this one is your girl!
Kiehl's Since 1851 Ultra Facial Refillable Moisturizing Cream with Squalane
This is my FAVORITE SPF of all time. Lightweight, but also hydrating enough where if I wear this on its own I don't feel dry later.
Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+ PA++++
The first retinol I fell in love with. AMAZING for anti-aging and texture and DOES not make me sensitive which is a miracle.
AlphaRet Overnight Cream| Anti-Aging Skincare
If you are looking for an amazing drugstore pick for retinol, look no further than this one from Naturium!
Naturium Retinaldehyde Cream Serum 0.10%
