your hair is your CROWN 👑 and the prettiest hair is always the healthiest. so in this post i wanna explore tips, routines and recipes that can help you to have healthier hair and start ur haircare journey…💬🎀
BUILDING A HAIRCARE ROUTINE ;
when it comes to building a routine of any sort, consistency is key! the main components of building a MEAN hair care routine are the following ; cleansing, deep conditioning and nourishment. think of ur hair like a garden that you have to water and nourish and in return it'll grow and be beautiful. thats the way that hair is! it needs tender loving CARE to be as beautiful as it can be.
wash 1-2x a week depending on how much u need to, but avoid washing it every single day because it strips ur hair of its natural oils and will give u dry and brittle hair. and thats NOT hot…💬🎀
🧁 cleansing ; opt for sulfate-free shampoos to keep your hair clean without stripping away natural oils.
🧁 deep conditioning ; deep conditioning is a NON-negotiable. choose protein-rich or moisture-based deep conditioners to keep ur hair strong and soft.
🧁 nourishment ; use hair masks on a weekly basis, always use a leave in conditioner or serum to lock in moisture and shield your hair from heat or environmental stressors.
so all in all, wash ur hair once a week or as much as needed, make sure that u choose moisture based, protein rich conditioners, and use hair masks weekly and invest in quality masks and oils to nourish ur hair and give it that extra UMPH.
THE GLOSSIEST CURLS ;
to achieve the glossiest prettiest curls ever, start with damp hair. apply a curl-enhancing cream, and comb through for even distribution. you can also try the LOC method, where you leave in, oil then cream ur hair. this particularly works great for hair that loses moisture.
if u have curly hair, sleeping in a silk bonnet or on silk pillowcases can help you to avoid having frizzy hair and using silk scrunchies is better for the health of ur hair + avoids breakage.
for defined curls and coils that pop, hydrate first by starting on freshly washed or damp hair. apply a leave-in conditioner for hydration. use a curl-defining cream or custard to clump and hold ur curls, make sure that ur working in sections! use a diffuser to dry your curls while keeping their shape intact and finish with a lightweight oil or shine spray for that extra glossy look.
FLAWLESS BRAIDS ;
to get sleek, flawless braids, start by detangling your hair completely. smooth your edges with a gel or edge control, and section your hair evenly. keep your braids tight but not too tight to avoid tension on your scalp. finish with a hair oil for shine and to nourish your scalp. if you’re rocking feed-in braids or box braids, don’t forget to hydrate your scalp regularly to avoid dryness or flakes.
GENERAL TIPS ;
🧁 always work in sections when ur doing ur hair bcuz it makes the process easier + more effective
🧁 deep conditioner instead of regular conditioner
🧁 wrap ur hair at night with a bonnet/sleep on silk pillowcases
AT HOME HAIR GLOSSING ROUTINE ;
for hair glossing at home, combine conditioner, olive oil, and a tablespoon of honey in a bowl and mix it together. be generous with it as u apply it to your hair. leave on ur hair for an hour. after washing ur hair blow-dry it.
MY PERSONAL RECOMMENDATIONS ;
❤︎ i use the glossy pearl hair mask and it smells SO good, it smells like literal baby powder and it keeps my hair so incredibly soft.
❤︎ i also really love the gisou honey infused hair mask, it smells like honey (duh) and is really nourishing for my hair + leaves it nice and shiny and soft.
SILK PRESS SZN ;
the basic steps to having the best at-home silk press are simple! first, wash ur hair with a moisturizing shampoo. opt for a sulfate free shampoo that will hydrate ur hair, and not strip ur curls of their natural oils. make sure to wash shampoo ur hair 2x and make sure that theres no residual shampoo left!
deep condition ur hair and let that sit for about 30 minutes, then rinse out with cool water. the next step is also a big nonnegotiable with silk presses - using heat protectants. PROTECT YOUR HAIR. step four is to blow out ur hair with a round brush or a hair-dryer brush, after you've done this smooth some serum into ur hair for that shine and frizz free silk press that we're going for. lastly, flat iron ur hair.
so all in all these are the six steps to getting that perfect silk press at home...💬🎀

Thinking about how Fleabag says that Claire stays with Martin because he makes her laugh like no one else. And then the very next episode Fleabag makes Claire laugh so hard she disrupts the whole room. At a silent retreat. CLAIRE breaks the RULES to LAUGH at FLEABAG'S JOKE!!!
And in that episode Fleabag also says she and Claire would make a cute couple,,,, it's about setting fleabag and Martin up as oppositional forces in Claire's life who ultimately fulfill the same need, and Fleabag does it better! Fleabag makes Claire laugh. Fleabag supports Claire personally and professionally. She even provides Claire with sexual pleasure when she gives her the vibrator for her birthday (after confirmation that Claire and Martin are Not Fucking). And ultimately, Fleabag is the only person Claire would run through an airport for!! They aren't friends they're sisters!!!
Whether it be an accurate & positive critique OR an inaccurate and negative critique… your success lies in your ability to use ALL of it to your advantage and use it to thrust yourself into becoming even greater.
Over the years, many of the greatest people heard the harshest criticisms and even if those critiques were wrong, they still used it as an excuse to become even better. Whether it be love or hate… use it to motivate yourself in any way possible. The love will enrich, and hate will give you a reason to overcome it.
Say it with me:
If I use your critique and borderline hateration to improve myself and get better, it won’t be because you told me I needed to get better… but because you undermined my abilities and efforts, of which, you never even knew the full extent of, and so now I must, and now I am going to rise above your doubting of me, ignorance of me, and critique of me, and show you just how good I’ve always been. Because it was always in me waiting to come out, this greatness…and maybe you speak because you believe that, but your speech was undermining of that greatness I possess, and so now it must be shown off everything that I possess, and I will show you just how good I already am, how good I can be, and how good I will be…that which is actually GREAT and bigger than good, and is also beyond and much greater than what you ever thought I am or could be.
