A few hair-related things from Amazon that made it into my routine. Easy to get, easy to use, and they do the job.
This also saved my hair. I always put it in protective hairstyle (braid) and I wear this. In the morning my hair is the SAME. The braid is perfect as it was night before.
Satin Bonnet
If sleeping with a silk bonnet isn’t your vibe, a silk pillowcase is the next best thing. It’s gentle on hair, reduces breakage and frizz, and even feels a little luxurious. Bonus: it’s good for your skin too.
Silk Pillowcase
If you have wavy hair and still use a regular brush… please don’t. This is so much better then a brush.
Wooden Comb
Try to use some of this massagers because it helps with growing your hair, and it's also easier to wash your hair if you have long nails.
Scalp Massage
When you are trying to let your hair be healthy again, but you have to tie it, don't use normal hair ties because they can break hair stands and the only way that you can do then is to cut your hair short
Instead use the plastic ones, because of the...
Plastic Hair Ties
Switching to a microfiber towel made a huge difference in my hair routine. It’s so much gentler than a regular towel—less breakage, less frizz. Highly recommend if your hair needs a bit more love.

Heat styling tools & essentials
I don’t heat style my hair every day, but when I do—I try to do it right. These are the tools I use, along with heat protectant to keep the damage in check.
Me and my roommate have a Philips flat iron which is specifically designed to protect fragile ends and is infused with keratin. Of course, this doesn't mean you should use it every day. Use it just when you really need it.

Always like to buy a set instead of anything individually. Powerful and you can adjust the heat yourself. Doesn't damage my hair more than it's already.
3000 Series Air Styler BHA310/00 - Philips
Super easy to use, customizable temperature, and effective product.
Let's Bounce 1” (25MM) Curling Wand - Mane by Jen Atkin
Not exactly a must-have, but definitely helpful—especially if you're clumsy like me and don’t want to ruin anything else besides your hair.

Vibrant Shine Spray — Glossy, Hair Shine Spray | John Frieda
A great finishing spray from John Frieda that holds styles in place and protects against frizz and humidity. I lightly mist it over styled hair—no crunch, no stickiness, just smooth, defined results that last.

These are the basics I currently use to keep my hair clean, soft, and a bit more manageable. I’m still figuring out what works best—but these have been helping so far.
