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!

This is THE BEST shampoo for thicker and more dry hair. LOVE this stuff!

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.
