"a peek inside my..." part 4: haircare bin!

this post was a request so i hope y'all find it interesting!

i know that when i like someones hair i want to know what they use.

i keep my current hair favorites in a bin under my sink so they are easily accessible. 

here we go!


^^this is said hair bin^^


hair care products

it's a 10 silk express smoothing balm:
i like this product because it is light and doesn't weigh down my curls. it acts as a conditioner when i apply it to damp hair. 

matrix amplify volumizing texturizer:
i've used this stuff for a long time! i just spray it at the roots of my hair and it doesn't get cakey or weigh down my hair. 

agadir argan oil hair treatment:
i use a dime-sized amount of this once or twice a week and it makes my hair feel dramatically different and more moisturized than any other product i've used. that says a lot considering my dry hair usually takes a lot to show any sort of results from products. 

it's a 10 miracle leave-in product: 
i got this sample at ulta. i've purchased the full-sized version of the keratin formula. i like that the consistency is thin and light enough to spray all throughout my hair, but i can't say that i have noticed any dramatic difference in my hair since starting this product. 


styling products

garnier fructis flexible control hairspray:
i love the smell of garnier products! this hairspray is perfect for loose, soft curls; my down-hair style of choice. it doesn't ever leave my hair feeling crunchy. if you want a more structured and stiff style you might want to try the stronger formula. 

bumble and bumble curl conscious curl cream:
this cream was given to me and i am definitely going to purchase it after i'm done with this bottle. i use it when i go to sleep with my hair wet because it accentuates my curls and i wake up with a decent style. it saves me a lot of style time, preps my hair and gives it texture so my heat styling stays intact longer. 

bumble and bumble texture hair undressing cream:
i use this product to add texture before styling my hair and a little to rough up my hair after i've styled it. did i mention it smells SO good?!

bumble and bumble styling creme:
i usually use this  interchangeably  with the conscious curl cream. it doesn't have as much hold so i use this more when i'm not curling my hair. 

also pictured above are my teasing brush and my wide-toothed comb.
i find that a teasing brush works better than a teasing comb on almost all hair types when used in a back-combing motion. mine is a teaze by phillips brand and i got it at sally's beauty supply.
i use my wide-toothed comb when i brush my hair when it's wet. i don't brush my hair often because it ruins my natural curl but when i do this does the least damage and gets all the tangles out smoothly. 

that's about it for my shpeal. 
if anything, my BIGGEST recommendations when it comes to hair products are to try bumble and bumble products and to use argan oil as a treatment. both, in my opinion, are just about life changing. 

until next time... :)

XOXO.
