For reference, my hair’s thick with a mix of straight and wavy textures — kind of that “combination hair” that does its own thing depending on the day. My roots lean a little oily but my ends get dry, so I’m always looking for products that smooth fr...
I used to think splurging on more expensive options when it came to hair tools was dumb bc they all do the same thing, right? WRONG. The nano titanium on the barrel of this curling iron makes it glide through my hair so smoothly (no weird lines/creas...
1-1/4" Nano Titanium XL Spring Curling Iron - BaBylissPRO | Ulta Beauty
This is the hair straightener I’ve used for the last 10 years — and it’s still just as good as the day I got it. It heats up pretty quickly and delivers that sleek, glossy finish I want when I’m straightening my hair and perfectly eliminates frizz. T...
Original Ceramic 1 inch Hair Straightener - CHI | Target
If you want a brush that actually works instead of just being “meh,” this one’s worth it. Think of it as your go-to for days when your hair is tangled, resistant, or you just need a smoother finish without stressing your scalp. This is my go-to brush...
Pro Detangler Brush - Wet Brush | Ulta Beauty
This stuff has been a staple for me for years now. I run a tiny pump through my hair while it’s damp, and it instantly makes everything smoother and shinier without feeling heavy or greasy. It cuts down on frizz and blow-dry time, which is a win in m...
Super Skinny Serum - Paul Mitchell | Ulta Beauty
This one’s a classic. I used this shampoo all throughout high school and college and recently made the switch back. It makes my hair feel thicker and more resilient after a few uses, and I love how soft and shiny it looks. The bottle lasts forever, t...
This conditioner makes my hair so soft but still full of life — not flat or weighed down like a lot of “moisturizing” ones tend to do. It’s great for detangling, gives my ends a smooth finish, and pairs perfectly with the shampoo for that extra lift ...
This one’s a lifesaver if your hair’s been feeling dry or dull. It revives my hair, making it feel instantly smoother and way easier to manage — it’s super gentle but still gives that clean, fresh feeling. The scent is light and salon-like (not too s...
All Soft Shampoo - Redken | Ulta Beauty
This conditioner is the perfect match to the shampoo — it makes your hair feel buttery soft without weighing it down. I like that it instantly detangles and gives my ends a silky, hydrated feel. The scent is the same warm, clean one as the shampoo, a...
All Soft Conditioner - Redken | Ulta Beauty
This multi-benefit spray is one of those products that just does everything. It’s a lightweight leave-in that makes my hair soft, shiny, and so much easier to brush through — plus it adds a little heat protection and helps tame frizz. I usually spray...
One United All-In-One Multi-Benefit Treatment - Redken | Ulta Beauty
When I run this through my hair after blow-drying (or even just after letting it air-dry a bit), my ends look less “frayed” and more “swooshable”. It makes my hair smooth and shiny. Just a heads up: if your hair is thin or fine, this is probably not ...
Custom Care Smoothing Brush - Wet Brush | Ulta Beauty
This is my all-time FAVORITE dry shampoo. I would only suggest it for those with thicker hair because it’s a pretty dense/heavy formula. If you prefer a lightweight dry shampoo — this is probably not the best pick for you. The smell is bergamot and r...
Extreme Volume Bergamot and Rose Scented Dry Shampoo - COLAB | Target
I love this dry shampoo for the sole purpose of adding volume (and the gardenia scent is amazing) this one, in my opinion, isn’t the best for absorbing oil, but it’s great for an extra boost! It’s pretty lightweight, so it’s best-suited for those wit...
