Hello beauties!

First of all: MERRY CHRISTMAS! I hope y'all are enjoying this holiday season :)

Today I would like to show you my 2021 favourite products that I've been using to take care of my hair.

I told you I wanted to start posting more about my hair journey, so if you missed my last post, you should check it because I share some important tips on how to boost your curls!

Before starting, I'd like to clarify that my type of curls are 3B/3C, in case you would like to check out these products!

I've tried different shampoo's, but this is one of my favourites: Shea Moisture Raw Shea

I use it regularly, when I want a complete wash. As I have curly hair, I don't tend to wash my hair more than 2 times a week, as I really feel it doesn't need it.

But one or twice a month I use a clarifying type of shampoo to clean it more thoroughly. When I do that I use the Cantu Avocado shampoo, it works really well plus it smells amazing!

My favourite 2021 conditioner is the Tea Tree deep nourishing conditioner by Beauty Formulas. I discovered it through a tik tok where this girl was recommending it and when I actually checked it online it was sold out. Some months later I was shopping and I accidentally found it so I didn't hesitate in getting it! It's super affordable, it only costs: 1,50€. I really like how my hair looks after using it- even though it has a strong smell of tea tree oil (which doesn't really bother me) but if you don't like this smell then I would beware. Lots of people use it for co-wash as well :)

The only one I've used is the Aunt Jackie's Butter Fusions Curl Spell Moisture Mask.

I have to say: this smells AMAZING! I can't even describe the smell but it's just incredible.

I use this mask usually once a month, when I feel my hair really needs a hydrating boost. I usually use it when I wash my hair with the clarifying shampoo, as this one is quite strong. If i want a deeper hydrating effect I put on a thermal hat for 10 minutes.

My absolute favourite leave in conditioner is the Curls Blueberry bliss. During summer I tended to put on more quantity as I felt my hair needed to stay more hydrated. I use this one as my first step when it comes to style my hair.

Some people use styling foams, but I like to use styling gels. I've tried different ones but my favourite so far is the Camille Rose Lavender Extra Hold. This one is suuuper thick so I only use a small amount -I really like how my hair looks after using it. Also, it's a bit expensive, but it lasts for a really long time!

Hello beauties!

In today's post I want to talk to you about some tricks that will help you take more advantage of your curls and take them to another level! I have natural curly hair and it wasn't until last year when I decided to start taking more care of it - I started my journey with the curly girl method.

So if you decide to give it a chance, here are some begginer's tricks that will help you boost your curls! I'm not a professional, but these will definitely make a difference - trust me!

But before getting into it, it would be very helpful for yourself to know what type of curls/hair you have, so you can have a better idea of what your hair needs.

Instead use an old cotton t-shirt or a microfibre towel as they are smoother and help to dry the hair without creating any type of frizz! This will allow your curls to be more defined.

I used to define my hair with curl defining foams that contained a high % of alcohol but they used to dry and frizz my hair A LOT (specially after some days without washing it). My recommendation is to use a curl cream or defining foam with less alcohol and hair-harming ingredients - your hair will get more hydrated and defined (even without washing it for some days). The one I use is the Lavender crush defining gel by Camille Rose and I recommend it a lot (plus it lasts ages).

Using a hair diffuser always helps to get your curls more defined! You can buy a hair dryer that comes with a diffuser or you can get one that's only for wavy/curly hair- as the one I use called Bellissima. I got it on Amazon and I totally recommend it.

It's very important to keep you hair hydrated. I recommend using hair conditioner when washing your hair and also leave in hair conditioners before styling it! Masks are good to use them twice a month or when you feel you hair needs a hydrating boost!

It helps to know what type of hair you have and what it needs! This way you have a better idea of how to treat it and how to take care of it. I got a lot of information from websites and from youtube, also I found a website where they offered counseling (paying of course), but it helped me a lot!

Hope you liked this post and this type of content :)

I'll keep writing more posts related to this!
