Hair is my comfort content. It’s the thing I focus on when the world feels chaotic. I know it looks shallow, but I promise you it’s deeper than it looks.
This is what my hair looked like after my divorce.
She was definitely dry and lifeless, and I’m not just talking about my hair (zing!)
But seriously: when your hair is good, you feel good. And feeling good is what I care about more than anything.
I have fine hair, and I’ve spent a lot of time on camera with it. Here’s what actually makes a difference.
Wash day
I mix it up, but lately I’ve been loving the Ouai Fine Hair Shampoo and Conditioner, followed by the never-skip Ouai Fine Hair Mask. I don’t know what they put in it, but my hair drinks it up.
The rule I live by: conditioner on the ends only.
Lately I've been adding the Hairification Complex Leave-In Hair Mask afterwards because it's similar to K18 but it's also only $20 and you can use it after conditioner.
Mousse, always
I own an absurd amount of mousse, but it’s just so magical. Wash, add a little at the roots, dry. I swear it doesn’t just add body. My hair doesn’t get greasy as quickly, either.
Heatless curls
I try to use as little heat as possible, so lately I’ve been sleeping in heatless curls. Less damage, more bounce, and the styling happens while you’re unconscious. Efficient.
When you need more hair than you have
Clip-ins and halos are the quiet secret behind a lot of ‘effortless’ hair on the internet. I alternate between the Sitting Pretty Halo Hair Extension and their clip-ins, depending on the day and how much effort I’m willing to make.
Full disclosure: Sitting Pretty has paid me for an Instagram post in the past. This post isn’t sponsored. I just use them.
Everything I use is in The Hair & Makeup Trailer.
