My Current Haircare Routine
Hi y’all! Today I thought I’d share the haircare items I use daily!
For reference, my hair is long, thick, and difficult to maintain. These are the top products that I can tell have made a difference in my hair!
First, I’ve been actively trying to use less heat on my hair. Heat styling tools can lead to dryness, breakage, and split ends. This heatless curling set is much gentler on my hair. I’ve also noticed heatless curls hold their shape longer than curls created with heat styling. My curls stay intact throughout the day and sometimes even carry into the next day. I sleep in them most nights because it saves me so much time in the morning. All I have to do is take them out, and my hair is ready for the day.
Your hair will thank you later with the Glow Beauty Brush! It’s the best brush for detangling my thick hair! The metal bristles provide a gentle scalp massage as you brush, increasing blood flow to the scalp and promoting hair growth.
Once a week, I like to use a pre-washing scalp oil treatment and a hair mask. At the beginning of that day, I will apply a dropper of oil to my scalp and hair and massage gently into my roots. Then, I put my hair into a ponytail, wet the ends, and work in a generous amount of the hair mask. I finish it by tying my hair into a bun I’ll wear until the end of the day when I wash it. This process has made such a difference in the moisture and hydration of my hair.
When washing my hair, I use the Dae shampoo and conditioner. The shampoo gently cleanses and hydrates without stripping the hair of its natural oils. The conditioner is hydrating and increases shine by restoring moisture to damaged hair.
If you can’t tell, Dae is my favorite haircare brand. The ingredients are derived from the desert, making every product smell heavenly. Beyond that, they are chock-full of benefits. Naturally, I finish my routine with their leave-in conditioner and hair oil before letting my hair air dry. Leave-in conditioners make detangling your hair more manageable, reducing the risk of breakage and damage when brushing. This one also includes heat-protective properties that shield your hair if you use heat-styling tools. I use the prickly-pear hair treatment every day, not just after the shower, because it also works as a great styling product by adding shine and fighting frizz.
On top of the products I use, I have been washing my hair twice a week instead of more frequently. Washing only twice weekly helps retain moisture and prevent excessive dryness, leading to softer and more manageable hair. I hope this helps!
