I also want to give a HUGE shoutout to my Hair Stylist!! Look up @abigailwallshair on instagram, you will NOT regret it! My hair transformation since going to her is below!! It is CRAZY!

Shampoo + Conditioner:

Okay SO, hear me out. Kristin Ess is the perfect Olaplex dupe. I love a good salon quality product at a lower price of course. It makes my hair super soft, lightweight, and it really cleanses my hair after all of the dry shampoo build up!! (which is a TON)

Another shampoo and conditioner I love is the Paul Mitchell Tea Tree oil line - I use it when my hair needs a deep clean.

The “Signature” line of shampoo and conditioner are amazing.

Dry Shampoo:

The Kristen Ess Dry shampoo is nothing short of amazing!! It is only $15 which obviously is very doable! I also LOVE the Drybar Dry Shampoo but as much as I use, I needed something a little more affordable so this is the best alternative that I have found! I also am a sucker for cute packaging and this is obviously very aesthetic.

Hair Oil:

First of all, I just wanna say hair oil is such a game changer! My hair routine consists of only washing my hair every 5-6 days. Which means I use dry shampoo like it’s going out of style, which in turn dries my hair out. So, once I started using hair oil it really made it way healthier and moisturized at the bottom ends. My top two favorites are the Drybar Sparkling Soda Shine Mist and the Kristin Ess Weightless Shine Working Serum. The Serum is $11 and the Shine Mist is $25 I think!

Heat Protectant:

It is SO important to protect your hair from heat damage. This Bumble and Bumble Invisible Oil/Primer is the best one I have tried in my opinion because it is super lightweight and it comes through every time!!

Curling Iron:

Kristen Ess 1.5 Barrel Curling iron is the BEST. I used to use a wand and now, I will never go back. It is worth the hours of youtube videos learning how to use a regular iron, I promise!!

Flat Iron:

Lange Aptair Pink Flat Iron .. Y’all, I cannot say enough good reviews about this flat iron. It gives a really good beachy wave if you want to “curl” your hair with it but it also straightens your hair very well.

Blow Dryer:

I cannot remember my hair dryer brand but it is a dyson dupe!! I will be making a whole nother post about it when I get home and can actually see the brand lol. I promise I am not gatekeeping!

Leave In:

I have not really gotten into hair masks but I love a good leave in conditioner! My all time favorite is the Marc Anthony Leave In Conditioner because you can use it anytime and it is so lightweight and works SO well. Not to mention it is only $7!! I also love the Olaplex No. 6 Bond Smoother Leave In Treatment, it works absolute wonders. However, I found that the only way to get my desired result is if I shower at night, apply on damp hair, blow dry my hair in layers and then go to sleep! I prefer an easy routine and I do not love the result of not doing all the steps for the Olaplex treatment.

Purple Shampoo:

So, I have to admit I have not used this myself BUT one of my sweet friends Sydney (who writes the Ivory Tulip Blog) swears by it!! I did not want to post a hair blog without adding a good purple shampoo and I have never tried anything by Olaplex and not loved it! So, here it is!!
