My roundup of all of my favorite go-to hair care products from the year that I recommend to start off 2019 with more great hair days!

1. RE.STORE a repairing cleansing treatment by KEVIN.MURPHY called, my hair is left hair feeling stronger, replenished and full of life.

2. SMOOTH.AGAIN.RINSE, which is a smoothing conditioner specifically designed for thick coarse hair like mine. SMOOTH.AGAIN.RINSE was created to nourish and smooth thick, coarse hair using ion-based cationic technology, Keratin Proteins mimic the structure of hair’s natural proteins to seamlessly smooth and refine where needed the most. This hardworking smoothing conditioner also provides a layer of protection to help seal split ends, and reduces the appearance of frizz. SMOOTH.AGAIN leave in conditioner, which is a perfect leave in for smoothing out your tresses by KEVIN.MURPHY! SMOOTH.AGAIN delivers all the benefits of a hard-working styling product, alongside the smoothing and nourishing benefits of a treatment. SMOOTH.AGAIN helps eliminate frizz, leaving you with smoother, silkier more touchable hair.

3. HEATED.DEFENSE, a weightless heat protectant and softener that protects against damage up to 450℉, before going in with a blow dryer and flatiron. By now my hair is in perfect shape for some heat tools, after all the rinses, I blow dried my hair with a round blow dry brush on the highest temperature using my T3 Micro blow dryer, and then went in with a professional flat iron on medium temperature. To keep the volume, I don’t use the highest temperature on the styling iron as these products have really worked to smooth and prep my hair! This process left a lot of volume in my hair which I love. There you have it, my go to formula for smoothed out volume rich tresses. HEATED.DEFENSE is packed with good-for-your-hair nutrients like Hydrolyzed Quinoa, Organic Jojoba Oil and Organic Castor Oil to provide a layer of conditioning while forming a weightless protective shield for your hair. I am amazed how soft and detangled my curls feel! It’s basically a high quality weightless foam that protects your hair from heat damage up to 450 degrees, which is amazing. So far I have been using this when I blow dry my hair and love how it protects my tresses and leaves them feeling soft and detangled. So happy to hear that HEATED.DEFENSE is now available to the public too. 

4. At the base of a beautiful “DOO” is always a good shampoo and conditioner. Right now I have been shampoo and conditioning my hair with RE.STORE and SMOOTH.AGAIN.RINSE by KEVIN.MURPHY and notice how soft and manageable my hair feels after using this combination.

5. Louvelle Luxury Wear to dry my hair and it truly dries your hair in half the time as a towel, plus I noticed a difference in how nice and defined my curls stay with less frizz than a normal towel.
