cringy af, but a true hair journey lol. from not understanding my hair + thinking it was better straight— heat damage on TEN. finally getting professional care + learning to love my hair the right way. discovering what products worked for me. finally getting my hair back to it’s natural state. to me going thru depression and doing the big chop— 10/10 don’t recommend. to growing my hair back out + it now being the best + LONGEST it’s ever been.

my current curlyyyy routine ➰ this lasts me a week+!
tips:
*ALWAYS WORK IN SECTIONS FOR THE BEST RESULTS.
in fact, section your sections.
i know, it’s time consuming— but it lasts up to a week and NO refreshing needed. i workout 5 times a week, trust me.
BRUSHES MATTER! mine is from @tangleteezer — 10/10 recommend.
products used
1. @tginatural ‘s Rose water leave-in conditioner for the perfect base
2. @agcare1989 ‘s Re:coil curl activation cream — AMAZING
3. @ilovethedoux ‘s Crazy sexy curl setting foam — my favorite mousse ever omfg. I NEED MORE ASAP, y’all can see i’m down to my last 😭
3. @tphbytaraji ‘s Tough Cookie Gel to seal the deal
if it’s frizzy wet, it will be frizzy when dried.
how to fix: redo frizzy pieces and lightly finger coil if needed
diffuser: @conair
i hope this helps 💖

A WYN IS A WIN 🎾 @wyn beauty has a Hydrating skin tint, AND IT HAS SPF 30?!?— SOLD. just in time for the heat/summer cause we all know that means more outside 🤸🏾♀️
when they say “naturally radiant finish”, THEY DID NOT LIE! it literally gives SKIN 🥹 this is perfect for those that still want to serve face without feeling/looking suffocated and cakey…. ME lol.
@serenawilliams@wyn , YOU DID THAT!
if you need help with color matching, @ultabeauty has a “Find your shade” tool on their app + online ✨
* ONLY AT ULTA!
a month ago i upgraded to a filtered shower head from @jolieskinco , and IT’S TRUE.
i held off with sharing my experience because i wanted to be sure, but i’m happy to share that THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE. literally a game changer 🥹
with the filtered shower head removing chlorine, metals + other water contaminants, both my hair and skin have improved.
• my hair is shinier, softer, more hydrated, and less frizzy/dry/dull.
• my skin is less dry
• my face no longer feels like i need moisturizer on it ASAP
• i’ve also stop getting skin irritations/burns from what i once thought was due to my washcloth + me being rough, but was actually from the water 😅
MAKE THE SWITCH 🚿

@cecred honest thoughts below, FOR REAL 🫧
HYDRATING SHAMPOO
as a shampoo lover, this did a great job cleansing my hair + scalp without stripping and making my hair feel dry. it lathers well. it smells AMAZING, yet not too strong. 10/10
MOISTURIZING DEEP CONDITIONER
literally my favorite of the bunch! it’s thick, buttery, has a good slip, and a little goes a long way. left my hair super soft and shiny. easy to detangle with. also smells amazing, not too strong. 10/10 girl!
MOISTURE SEALING LOTION
very thick, hydrating and leaves hair super shiny.
NOURISHING HAIR OIL
while i’m not a fan of oils, this is very lightweight and does a good job at sealing moisture.
10/10 recommend the shampoo and deep conditioner 🤍

love straight hair, but being a naturally curly head, I NEED MORE THAN BONE STRAIGHT 😅
i don’t know how to use a curling iron— not too much on me please, lmao.
CRIMPING IT IS 😍 literally so easy and cute
Crimping wave iron from @eapheat — I LOVE IT
Perfect Medium Spray from @kenraprofessional — my first time using this spray and it held the waves all day, 10/10 recommend
