Good hair day!
FABLE&MANE - HoliRoots Pre-wash Hair Treatment Oil used this overnight to help my scalp and thirsty ends. Love this! Smells good unlike some Ayurvedic hair oils. Plus when I rinsed it out the next morning my hair felt soft and was easier to detangle.
ļæ¼FABLE&MANE - HoliRoots Cleansing Shampoo I have been searching for a good shampoo and conditioner for awhile. I have even tried some of those online quizzes where they make a custom shampoo and conditioner. But none of them have really passed the test until I tried this shampoo. It has enough moisture and slip to easily detangle my fine wavy hair but itās not too heavy either.
ļæ¼FABLE&MANE - HoliRoots Nourishing Conditioner Love this conditioner! Holy Grail product! My hair is really damaged when I bleached it to try to go purple. š I have really dry ends and no conditioners I have tried have had the moisture and slip I was looking for. Until this one! Not only can I detangling my hair in the shower a lot easier my hair detangler even after I rinsed it out and itās almost dry. I did mix it with THE inkey LIST - Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Hair Treatment for the first time and I like it even more.
ļæ¼FABLE&MANE - HoliRoots Repairing Hair Mask Used it after the conditioner to moisturize my dry, damaged hair. Thereās nothing I donāt love about this product. Love the smell love how it feels on my hair and love how my hair feels after. Rinsed out and had mega wavy definition
ļæ¼after squishing some of the THE inkey LIST - Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Hair Treatment in my hair I went in with the THE inkey LIST - Vitamin C Brightening Hair Treatment to protect and help with my damaged hair. Both of these products helped so I had no frizz and was getting a lot of wave definition so I decided not to go in with any gel.
ļæ¼Put it up in an AQUIS - Lisse Luxe Desert Rose Hair Wrap for twenty minutes
ļæ¼dyson - Supersonic Hair Dryer defuse my hair and ended up with really good looking waves. At least for me because this is the first time in four months I have like my hair enough to not to braid it to help give it more wave.

Definitely worth the money. 10/10 recommend
dyson - Airwrap Styler I absolutely love love love this system. I have little to no coordination when it comes to styling my hair. This system has made curling my hair sooooo much easier. I would recommend this product to people like me. I have a genetic disorder that makes every joint in my body dislocate multiple times a day so the less time i can spend on my hair there better. It is light weight and balanced. With a normal hair dryer I would spend about 20-30 minutes on my hair. With my Dyson I spend about 5 minutes. If I'm curling my hair with an iron I would spend 1-1.5 hours and have multiple burns. With the Dyson it takes me 30 minutes if my hair is dripping wet. It took a while to get used to the length of the base butt once you are used to it, you don't notice it as much. I am also able to dry my 3 year old step daughter's hair in under 5 minutes. It is much quieter than a normal dryer which means I can do my hair without waking up anyone in my house so that is also a major win in my book.

Is The Dyson AirWrap Worth It? (Itās not!)
dyson - Airwrap Styler
First things first, I got lucky and had Dyson credit & a discount which is the literal only reason I have this magical tool in my possession bc it is horrendously expensive & if you donāt wanna read this whole review (I talk too much, i get it) then simply put, it is absolutely NOT worth the investment.
šMy hair: very fine & dry, color treated, kinda sad overall š¤·š¼āāļø
šDolllas: Smooth & Control System $499 (what I have), entire system with all attachments $549
āReccomend: Simply put, big fat NOPEEE (for not so simply put, see below)
Now, if you find a sale or have all the time in the world to master the tool then I def say go for it because itās amazing that you can do everything with one tool + all its fancy attachments. I think the best way to do this would be to break it down to attachment & talk about them inidicidually? So here goes:
ā
Blow drying:
This thing is MAGIC. I already have fine hair that dries fast but this baby has my hair going from wet to dry in like 7 minutes. AMAZING ok and hot without like being so hot you wanna die?
ā
Firm smoothing brush:
This is hard to get used to bc the base of the tool is so big but once you get a hang of it again, AMAZING. I was blown away that I could get a salon looking blowout legit sitting on my butt at my house. 1 or 2 YouTube tutorials and youāll be a pro.
āCoanda effect curlers -
Now donāt get my wrong this whole curl-with-air thing is dope and feels like sorcery but theyāre my least favorite attachment. I only use them like every once in a while if I have time because it takes FOREVER. Again I have thin hair and find that I have to told each section on the air for 10ish seconds then a couple more with the cold shot and it takes so long I wanna die by the time my hair is ready. Plus I have thin hair so if your hair is thick RIP bc idk how youāll make it. If youāre dedicated though and not as lazy as me, you might love this bc the results are INSANE (see photo) like bombshell VS photo shoot amazing. And my hair holds curl really well as Iām naturally wavy but Iāve heard of peopleās curls falling out in just a few short hours - so this Iām assuming is YMMV.
Again as a general wrap up, itās really not worth it. Save your money by buying a Dyson dryer on its own or drying brush (like revlon or Drybar) individually.

Be honest: Do I fully need the Dyson straightener?!
In todayās not-at-all-surprising news: Heat styling can cause insane damage to your hair. Wow! The shock! Yeah, I know we all know this, but even though Iām fully aware that Iām hurting my waves each time I run a straightener over them, Iām not about to give up the habit, you know? That being said, Iād ideally like not to destroy my hair, which is why I was so intrigued by the dyson - Corrale Hair Straightenerāthe new cordless flat iron that promises to āreduce damage by 50 percentā and leave you with glossy shine. All for a cool $500.
Iām not made of money. It would take a lot to convince me to spend that much on a flat iron. But I also know that if anyone could do it, itād probably be Dyson. Aside from the fact that Iāve seen the insanely great results all over my Insta feed for weeks, I also know that Dysonās claims tend to be backed by A LOT of research. So after wrangling one to try on myself, I put it to the test for a month to see what it would do to my damaged, stressed-out hair. Onward for my ~hot take~ on the Corrale. Dyson already made everyone in the beauty world freak out when it paused on the high-tech vacuums and released the very fancy hair dryer in 2016 and then theairwtap styler a few years later. So no matter what, the Corrale was automatically being released into a cloud of hype. And thus my skepticism.
But as I read virtually everything there is to read on the Corraleās technology for this review, I can honestly say the hype isnāt unearned. Dyson apparently spent seven freakinā years working on a ton of prototypes to create, seemingly, The Greatest Straightener of All Timeāone that allegedly turns coarse hair into butter and dry hair into pure shine, all while minimizing heat damage.
Yeah, the last part sounds the most questionable, but this is where the legit technology comes in: Rather than using the classic tourmaline or ceramic plates found in most straighteners, the Corrale uses magnesium copper plates that subtly flex and bend around a section of hair, while also measuring their own heat about 100 times per second. The end result? Better tension and more even heat distribution, leaving you with way less damage. The iron lets you choose between three heat settings (330° F, 365° F and 410° F), so I went with 365° F, since my hair texture is on the coarser side. I usually feel some tugging or snagging when I straighten my hair, but the Dyson glided down each section smoothly, and it somehow didnāt leave my hair feeling scalding hotājust perfectly warm.
Iāve been using the Dyson straightener for weeks, and my hair doesnāt feel any more damaged than it did before, which is good?! But obviously, I canāt exactly compare my previous damage levels with current damage levels. All I can really talk about is the visual difference, and when I straighten with the Dyson, my hair just looks...better. Shinier, softer, and smoother.
While the Dyson isnāt cheap, it also isnāt some basic straightener with a puffed-up price tagāitās pretty futuristic. So for someone who wants glossy hair with less damage (*raises hand*) or just also loves a luxe-AF hairstyling experience (*raises other hand*), I think itās totally worth saving up for. Or, you know, begging your parents/partner/wealthy BFF for.

High End Straighterļ¼ $500 Dyson vs $250GHD
My hair is naturally frizzy, after using this product my natural frizz is gone. I also find using a small amount of hair serum whilst straightening my hair combats all the frizz. I am always on my way looking for a perfect straightener.
ghd - Platinum+ Professional Performance Styler These are the two that I have on hand. GHD is my always top one loved one. And the Dyson is my new purchase.
Two things I found amazing about this flat iron from GHD are, first of all, the platinum plates.I thought this looks very fancy. And I did some research on it.
Basically, platinum plates promise to make your hair shinier as you style it. And they also promise to prevent breakage.I do notice that my hair is shiny when I straighten it and I do feel my hair got less heat damage even I do 2 - 3 times a week. The second thing is, tri-zone technology. According to their website, this technology means that there are three points of heat along the plates to demonstrate consistent temperature throughout the plates. With drugstore straighteners, there are normally just one.
One cool thing about this straightener is that it has sleep mode which I love about. It is safe and easy to handle when you are styling. And so many times I left home and suddenly realize that my iron is still on. This feature would turn the styler off after 30 minutes.
It is an expensive straightener, after 2 months of use I can say I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. Usability is great, even for my little hands, and compared to my former hair straightener there is simply no comparison.
dyson - Corrale Hair Straightener The Dyson one is about $500. The price is insane. The reason I got it is because it is cordless. I have their dryers and Iāve always been obsessed with Dyson technology. I remembered I was scared of those hot tools when I first learn to style my hair and cannot remember how many times I burnt myself because of those cord. Honestly I am a little disappointed with this one. Technology wise it is cool. The battery is so disappointed. I charge it overnight and it only last for 25 minutes.
GHD wins since they are the experts in straighter and it doesnt damage the hair as most straigners do.

Curly hair journey
Hi yāall!
(Iām still reeling from the attempted coup at the Capitol and terrified for the next 12 days, BUT HOW ARE YALL??? š„¶)
Hereās where I am about 2 ish months since I started following my hair care routine outlined in my first post:
ā
My curls are looking less frizzy, even when I use my Dyson hairdryer.
ā
My hair length went from just below my shoulders to mid back.
ā
When I do a regular braid at night, itās thicker than it has been in the past - itās about 3-4 inches thick when braided.
Iām going to continue to work towards healthier curls! Iām loving how my hair looks and my curls are definitely better than they were 2 months ago.
I also want to grow my hair out even more. I remember growing up and seeing pictures of my mom around her wedding/honeymoon time. Her hair was soooo long, down to her knees! Iāve always wanted my hair to be that long so Iām going to work towards that.
Iāve also always wanted a nice, thick, long braid to decorate on my wedding day (whenever that is lol). All of the jasmine flowers, and putting jewelry in it has been a dream of mine. So hopefully Iāll get there without too many extensions š¤š½
What have you done during your healthy curls journey? ššš½

Good hair care sampling
This is all the hair samples Iāve tried in the past few weeks and also a part 2 of @amika faves ⨠@amika Bust your Brass line introduced me to the concept that a purple conditioner can do SO much for blonde hair. Up until then I only ever used a purple shampoo, and even the @amika one I felt was superior to my previous. My previous purple shampoo was purple but washed off white and foamy while amika: - Bust Your Brass Cool Blonde Shampoo and washer off as a purple foam- which makes me think itāll do the most for blonde hair! I also really love the amika: - Bust Your Brass Violet Leave-In Treatment Foam , Iāve been working it in after styling and I really love it.
Some other new faves are Briogeo - Scalp Revival Charcoal + Coconut Oil Micro-exfoliating Scalp Scrub Shampoo and the Briogeo - Don't Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Hair Mask . I had no idea how much I needed a scalp scrub until I tried this, and now I know I need one in my routine. Ot makes your scalp feel so much cleaner- and dont worry about the scrub cleansers- they dissolve easily. I actually went and bought the full sizes shortly after finishing the samples. I also think its important to note that the Briogeo - Scalp Revival Stimulating Therapy Massager is the real key to scalp treatment- for both cleansing and overall hair treatment. Its been long known that massaging the scalp circulates blood flow to the roots and can help with hair growth.
Finally, I tried VERB - VERB Ghost Shampoo , VERB - VERB Ghost Conditioner and VERB - Ghost Oil that I received from a virtual gift exchange. To be honest, the shampoo and conditioner didnt jump out at me as something amazing but I really did like the Ghost oil, made my ends feel smooth. VERB - Ghost Starter Kit

I've been testing out a lot of hair products lately and I wanted to share some with you!
pebblehair 5 piece haircare set. And, I've been enjoying them quite a bit. My favorites are: the Volumizing Shampoo which gives me a little oomph to my straight hair, Deep Nourishing Mask (do you see that beautiful texture?) which makes my hair feel silky smooth, and the Deep Nourishing Oil that helps to provide my hair with a nice healthy shine.
Funny fact: One day, my husband comes out of the shower and mentions how he "really likes the way Pebble & Co's conditioner makes [his] hair feel." So, I looked at him and went, "You've been using my conditioner?!" 𤨠To which he replied, "Well, ever since you've opened up a Sephora in our bathroom, I've been trying out random products." And then...... I died. Lol! šš¤£ TouchĆ© husband, touchĆ©.
Point of the story is, I told my hubs to use it if he likes it and I haven't touched it since. Now, he's finished it (it was only a mini size) and he's been asking me how he can get another one š. So, no reviews from me on the conditioner. You'll just have to take my hubby's words for how good it is.
Also, I'm in LOVE šš»āāļø with my dysonhair
Air Wrap. I'm such a hair styling noob but, this tool allows me to style exactly the way I want my hair to be. It provides me with nice, wavy curls or a soft, straight hair, when needed. It also gives me volume and a beautiful bounciness to my hair. The styles stay perfect for hours (as long as I set it with a spray). It takes way less than 30 minutes to style. And my hair has never felt softer or healthier looking. Best money spent. š No ra-grats.

Hands down the best hairdryer!
dyson - Supersonic Hair Dryer
Wow, where to even begin! This is such a great appliance. I got this in black/nickel but itās also available in white/silver and fuchsia/iron.
For someone, such as myself, who blow dries their hair 5-6 x a week, this is a game-changer.
My hair is fine but I have a lot of it, and itās naturally straight.
This dried my hair so fast and made it soooo smooth! Thereās a reason why it cost so much and itās honestly worth every penny. Itās a huge investment but if it means less damage to my locks then Iām glad I got it.
I have noticed less frizz, no need for straightener touch-ups, and it uses way less heat than your traditional hair dryers.
Some key benefits as per Dyson:
Delivers intelligent heat control for shine
Dries hair fast
Straightens and smooths
*the science behind the heat technology is really interesting. I suggest reading it if youāre thinking of purchasing this product
The attachments:
Smoothing nozzle
Styling concentrator
Diffusor
Non-slip mat
Storage hanger
āØWhatās amazing about the nozzle, concentrator, and the diffuser is that they all attach magnetically! So practical and convenient for a quick switch.
I rate this 5/5 stars. Iāll never go back to traditional hair dryers.
dyson-Supersonic Hair Dryer
magical hair curler
The Dyson airwrap blow dryer and hair curler is peak hair tech magic. The self twirling curler has a vacuum system that uses centrifugal force to wrap the hair around the wand without making it knotty or sucked into the force. The best part is that your hair doesnāt have to be dry! It works on damp hair and dries it as it styles!
So easy to use and very fun to test different hairstyles with! I just wish I could afford the system :/ sponsor me dyson!

Make up and hair haul
This is my second online purchase as of recent. I decided to go a little luxe. Hereās what I got and why!
dyson - Airwrap Complete Styler-For Multiple Hair Types and Styles
I purchased this after using a friends. I love how itās a multipurpose tool. I can dry my hair like normal, I can curl my hair or I can even get my hair straight. I went ahead and decided that since itās so many things in one and that it will last some time I could justify the price.
VISEART - Petite Pro 4 Apricotine
I purchased this because it honestly is just so pretty. Itās a perfect neutral that can go day or night. Itās perfect for travel!
DIOR - Airflash Spray Foundation
I work in the beauty industry and I hear so many great things about this foundation. I decided itās time to just get it. I hope to do an update soon with my opinion on this.
dermalogica - Special Cleansing Gel
I purchased the mini cleansing gel so I can de some at home peels while working from home. I have so many dermalogica professional products that I want to take advantage of and use them. If there are other esthetician here that want to know what peel Iām doing Iāll make a post!
NATASHA DENONA - Diamond & Blush Palette
This is a beautiful product. I have yet to use it but in the pan it just glows. It was on sale too!
