Holy Grail Haircare Products
Without a doubt, the milestone for me and my haircare journey has been discovering products that enhance the look and feel of my hair, while also repairing and protecting it. While I absolutely try (& love) my fair share of hair products, only a select few earn a permanent spot in my holy grail arsenal. Keep reading for information on my 8 must-have haircare products!
K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask:
Without a shadow of a doubt, the K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask is at the top of this list. If you have heard me talk about hair care, you know that this is one of the first products I bring up. It’s so much more than a mask, it utilizes bioactive peptides that mimic the natural structure of keratin building blocks, allowing it to reconnect broken chains in the hair effectively. What's truly unique about K18, though, is that it penetrates deep into the cortex of the hair to deliver targeted repair from the inside out. Since starting to use it, I can’t begin to express how much stronger, more elastic, and undeniably healthier my hair is.
Pro Tip: HOW you use it is essential! Take a peek at my step-by-step tutorial so you can optimize results!
Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray:
The Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray is an actual hair miracle. It not only acts as a heat and humidity protectant, but also leaves my hair smoother or shinier. I typically apply it as you would any other heat protectant. So with damp hair, I evenly distribute the spray throughout my hair, ensuring each strand is coated. After application, I blow-dry my hair with my Dyson Airwrap (spoiler alert: that’s on the list too) to activate the spray's heat-activated polymer network that seals in the smooth texture. It’s so lightweight, protective, and has the most gorgeous finish.
Nutrafol Women Hair Growth Supplement:
Including a supplement in this list might feel a little abstract, but believe me when I say, Nutrafol has done wonders for my hair journey (especially for my hair thinning)! Beyond just hair growth, it's a comprehensive approach to improving hair health, targeting the underlying factors like hormones, nutritional deficiencies, and stress management. What stands out to me is that this supplement is grounded in scientific research, utilizing clinically tested natural ingredients known to support hair growth and scalp health. Nutrafol's formula includes a potent mix of botanicals, antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins such as saw palmetto, marine collagen, and ashwagandha. These components work synergistically to nourish hair follicles, support hormonal balance, and reduce stress-related shedding. I also loved their postpartum supplement while I was breastfeeding, to prevent postpartum hair loss (I talk more about this subject in my recent podcast episode)!

Dyson Airwrap Styler:
If you saw my recent blog, you would know that the Dyson Airwrap has been completely revolutionary for my hair health and hair journey! The Airwrap literally does it all, by integrating high-velocity air with controlled temperature to style hair without excessive heat. It also consistently gives me the best 90s blowout style of my life! Here is my step-by-step guide on how to use! My hair has become immensely healthier since I switched out my hot tools and regular blow dryer to Dyson tools.
Filtered Showerhead:
You can be doing all the right things and using all the right products with your hair, but your shower water quality can be hindering your results. I live in Miami and before purchasing a filter, I was noticing a ton of build up and heaviness in my hair. This is what ultimately made me decide to purchase the T3 Source Showerhead, which has completely redefined what it means to wash my hair. This showerhead filters out impurities, softening the water and, consequently, the impact on my hair. I truly can’t swear by it enough!
Briogeo Charcoal Shampoo:
When it comes to scalp health, Briogeo’s Scalp Revival Charcoal + Coconut Oil Micro-Exfoliating Shampoo is a standout in my routine. Infused with charcoal, it deeply cleanses and exfoliates the scalp, drawing out buildup. The addition of coconut oil ensures that while my scalp is being detoxified, it remains nourished and moisturized. I also think it’s worth mentioning that the peppermint, spearmint, and tea tree oil complex offers a cooling effect (and smells incredible)!
K18 Detox Shampoo:
Speaking of scalp care, I swear by the K18 Detox Shampoo for giving me my cleanest base. It's not just about removing dirt; this shampoo gets rid of up to 99% of product buildup and excess sebum (my hair has never looked cleaner than after washing it with this which gives me bouncy, fluffy roots). I love that this is gentle, ensuring it strips away impurities without stripping my hair.
Crown Affair The Hair Oil:
My pre-shower routine has become valuable and essential to my hair health. I rotate through a few but love the Crown Affair The Hair Oil on the ends of my hair before showering to seal in moisture before cleansing. I also love to apply it to my ends on non-wash days for a little extra moisture and gloss.
I hope this gives you a little inspiration as you build your own haircare routine! DM me any of the products you try & love!
