items I have thick, high density, low-porosity hair. My curl pattern is a 4c/4b combo. I mostly wear my hair blown out or straightened. From time to time I will wear it in its natural state. All my natural girlies know the struggle of finding the best prod...

Wash Day
Wash days aren’t complicated but can be time consuming and exhausting. So, I “TRY” to wash my hair once a week but will go longer depending on how my hair is styled or how I’m feeling. Due to my porosity most wash days start off with a clarifying sha...
I’ve been dealing with some dandruff and i find that this shampoo has been a good addition to my wash days. I start off with this to clean my scalp before I move onto a bond/protein treatment (if needed)
6.7 oz Scalp Recovery System Purifying Shampoo - Nioxin | Ulta Beauty
I’ve been using as a bond treatment to help with some weakness caused by heat damage. I only use as needed once a week.
Mini No.3 Hair Perfector Pre-Shampoo Strengthening and Reparative Hair Treatment - OLAPLEX | Ulta Beauty
I like to use this for my first shampoo. Specifically after i use the bond treatment. It’s moisturizing but also clarifies my hair. When I’m not using the bond treatment I just use the Nixon to clarify.
8.5 oz No.4 Bond Maintenance Strengthening and Reparative Hair Shampoo - OLAPLEX | Ulta Beauty
Used after a clarifying shampoo. It makes my hair feel soft and hydrated after the clarifying shampoo strips everything away.
10.1 oz Moisture Recovery Moisturizing Shampoo for Thick/Coarse Hair, Dry Hair - Joico | Ulta Beauty
Adds more moisture, makes my hair feel soft and helps with detangling.
8.5 oz Moisture Recovery Conditioner - Joico | Ulta Beauty
These are other products I will switch out in my regimen that also work really well
12.0 oz Almond & Avocado Moisturizing & Detangling Sulfate-Free Shampoo - Design Essentials | Ulta Beauty
These are other products I will switch out in my regimen that also work really well
12.0 oz Almond & Avocado Moisturizing & Detangling Conditioner - Design Essentials | Ulta Beauty
When I do deep condition there are a couple I use. This one is moisturizing and also great with detangling.
Almond & Avocado Wash Day Deep Moisture Masque
When I do deep condition there are a couple I use. This one is my favorite! It’s also moisturizing and also great with detangling.
hydro rush intense moisture hair mask with hyaluronic acid

Styling
I mostly wear my hair blow out or straightened but I will also wear it in its natural state. All my natural girlies know the struggle of finding the best products for their hair as all products aren’t created equally. Depending on how I style my hair...
THIS IS THE BEST BLOW-DRY SPRAY! It used to take me more than 30min to blow dry my hair but this significantly cuts down on the time. It also acts as a heat protectant. It's a must have
6.8 oz Platinum Blow-Dry Spray - Kenra Professional | Ulta Beauty
After blow-drying I use this as another layer of heat protection before flat ironing my hair.
Silkening Heat Crème - Kenra Professional | Ulta Beauty
This adds shine and a silky feel to my hair. When I want my hair really straight I'll incorporate this.
Platinum Silkening Mist - Kenra Professional | Ulta Beauty
This adds shine and a silky feel to my hair. Used after flat ironing alone or in combo with the mist and I use it on all hair styles.
Platinum Silkening Gloss - Kenra Professional | Ulta Beauty
This tames fly-aways and provides a brush-able hold. I use it while flat-ironing so that my straight styles will last.
Perfect Medium Spray 13 - Kenra Professional | Ulta Beauty
I recently introduced this product into my straightening regime this summer. I think it works but I haven't used it enough to really tell
Anti-Humidity Spray 5 - Kenra Professional | Ulta Beauty
By far my favorite mousse/foam for doing twist/braid outs. It provides so much slip and a nice hold that isn't flaky. I also use it in combo with a gel or cream for wash-n-gos.
MOUSSE DEF Texture Foam® 7 oz
Perfect gel to use to clump curls and define them for wash-n-gos. I use it before adding another product such as another gel, foam or mousse.
808 Base Gel 12oz
Love this for the same reasons as the mousse. It starts of like a foam & turns into a cream/gel like consistency. It has a stronger hold than the mousse.
Chief Rocka Xtreme Moisture Mousse 8oz
I like to use this cream in combo with a gel for twist/braid outs. The cream provides moisture and defines the curl. I also will use it to refresh my curls.
Moisturizing Curling Cream
This is another cream I love to use. It also helps define curls and provides moisture.
12.0 oz Coconut & Hibiscus Smoothie Curl Enhancing Cream - SheaMoisture | Ulta Beauty
I did not buy this from CVS but at my local beauty supply. This gel give the strongest hold and crazy curl definition. If you don't mind a hard cast. I use it when I want my style to hold up longer. I also use this when I want a slick ponytail or bun...
Wet Line Xtreme Extra Hold Styling Gel, Clear, 35.26 OZ
Tools
These are some of the styling tools I use on my hair.
The newest addition to my regimen. When I wear my hair in a blow out, I'll take these thermal brush to give me some curl and to straighten a little bit.
Blowout Boost
This is the flat iron I use. It's the reason I have heat damage but that's user error lol I know better than to use a titanium plated flat iron on high heat. But I really do love this. I only need to do one pass when straightening.
BaBylissPRO® Nano Titanium™ 1½ " Ultra-Thin Straightener
This is the blow dryer I have been using for 10+ years. I didn't purchase it from walmart but at my local beauty supply store. It's done well but I'm looking to get something new and ergonomically easier to use.
