Similar to my skincare routine, I’ve been trying to make it a point to be kinder to my hair, especially since getting balayage once a year. That’s actually one of the things I like most about balayage, because it’s more natural looking, the way it grows out and the fact that it’s not applied to my roots gives me the opportunity to do it only once a year. You wont notice a shampoo / conditioner on the list of products because I’m really not loyal to one right now. I typically run out of one before the other and just scoop up whatever looks good (read…cheap) and go for it! These are a few of the hair products and accessories I’ve been using and loving.
- Revlon One Step Hair Dryer & Brush || By now I’m sure everyone has seen / heard about this brush. It’s constantly sold out on Amazon and has thousands of 4 & 5 star reviews. It works! I have long hair and to blow dry and style it before this brush could take anywhere from 30-40 minutes, now it’s about 15-20 depending on how much I let my hair air dry before. You get a salon worthy blow out every single time with very minimal effort. It gets very hot, so you have to be careful not to get it too close to your scalp! Other than that, I have no regrets with this purchase. I only use it once a week, typically on Sunday’s to get my hair looking all fresh and pretty for the week. You could definitely use it daily, but I like to minimize the amount of heat I put on my hair.
- Kristen Ess Pivot Curling Wand || My absolute favorite curling iron and it’s so easy to use! I have used a ton of different wands and irons in the past and have always had a hard time with different sections of my hair. Because of the pivoting wand feature, it helps you get those hard to reach places in the right angle. I also love my second day curls using this as well. Once again, I don’t curl my hair all that often, but when I do it’s so easy and not time consuming at all. For setting my curls I use this hair spray – it smells amazing!
- Sleek Oil Treatment || For years, and I mean over 10, I have been using this oil treatment after the shower to help nourish my hair. It’s one of my favorite drug store products.
- Heat Protectants|| I alternate between the L’Oreal spray and this Shu Uemura Wonder Worker spray, both of which are great at minimizing the damage done to your hair from applying heat. If you’re looking to minimize drying time, then the L’Oreal spray is the way to go! If you’re looking for sleek and salon worthy, then you may want to splurge and try the wonder worker!
- Accessories || Admittedly it’s really hard to get motivated to do anything with my hair in the winter, mostly because I’m wearing a hat for so much of it. On the off chance that the weather is mild or I’m in the car you can find me sporting these: headbands, these hair clips or these silk hair ties.

Iām going to get some of that hairspray, I have heard it smells amazing! You know Iām crazy about the pearl barrettes, I wear them all the time. Have a great start to your week!
Hair oil is so important! I hear really good things about Kristin Ess products. I need to try the blow dry primer and that blow dry brush. It takes FOREVER to dry my hair!
I need to get on the hair accessory trend because it's SO good! Especially that spring and summer are around the corner. I love the idea of a top knot or messy bun with those cute Gucci inspired headbands. Thanks for inspo, beauty, and I hope you have a great week ahead!

Do you have any suggestions for the postpartum fly-aways???? My baby is 2 1/2 and I still have the postpartum regrowth game going on strong… meaning the little hairs are sticking up straight on my head, lol. I can't figure out how to get them down.
Those headbands are darling, and I can't get enough of the pearl barrettes lately <3

I want a curling wand! I'm adding that one to my wish list now!
Your accessories are lovely. Happy Monday. ā¤ļøšš
I need that blow dry spray immediately! I've been trying to find one to replace my old salon one and you are saving me majorly!!!
I needed this in my life today! I've been damaging my hair for YEARS now, and I need to be kinder to it. I need to try that Moroccan Oil treatment!
Little decorative barrettes are my new fave! I'm still learning how to fully wear 'em in my massive mane (haha), but they really add something to a look!

I bought those hair clips from Amazon and they are the BEST!! I love adding them to my look when I just want a little something extra š
I love the barrettes and have some, and have yet to use them!!! I need to check out that curling iron. I want to be the person that curls their hair a few times a week and never does.
I've got that revlon brush in my cart – of course the price went up so waiting for it to come back down!
Yes so many great accessories for hair these days lots of great trends clips, bows. bands I love it!

Okay, maybe I'll check out the Revlon product. Thanks for sharing your times with it! I've been thinking about the dyson air wrap (but truly can't stomach the price). I need something to cut down the time… because I just… it's not how I want to spend my time. lol. I am also in desperate need of some headbands (probably without bows) to throw on. I always think everyone looks so cute right now with theirs!
These are all lovely dear. I'd love to try the Kristen Ess Pivot Curling Wand. Sounds really good.
