Try out my everyday hair routine – it might work perfectly for your schedule!
Happy Tuesday y’all! The #1 question I get asked most often is how do you get your hair to look like that? It doesn’t matter the occasion, I wear my hair in loose waves 99.9% of the time. Why? It’s quick, easy and looks good. Today I am walking you through my complete hair care routine + sharing how I achiever 10 minute curls (that last 3 days!). Keep reading to find out what hair products I use, how often I wash my hair, my loose hair tutorial and how to win my all time favorite curling wand!
Disclaimer: This is NOT a sponsored post! I was not paid to write this post. This post was deliberately non-sponsored so I could honestly tell you my favorite hair products and everyday hair routine. I bought every single item with my own money, aside from the T3 hairdryer, which was gifted and I would have gladly purchased myself!
Hair Prep:
I typically wash my hair once every 3 days (don’t worry, I shower in between!). I actually prefer my hair best on day 2, when my curls have loosened and I have that bedhead look! When I shower, I use this shampoo and this conditioner. This shampoo and conditioner duo is more expensive than most, but oh does it work wonders! When my favorite bloggers raved on the magic of these hair products I was skeptical, however I fell in love after one shampoo and have used them ever since I love them so much I gifted Ashley Brooke (my cousin!) them for her birthday! If these are out of your budget, I would highly suggest this shampoo and this conditioner for bleached and damaged hair! I honestly believe this is the best smelling shampoo and conditioner on the market. I would 100% purchase a perfume with this sugary sweet aroma! Since my hair has damaged ombre ends, I always ALWAYS apply a leave in conditioner after my shower. I use a few different leave in conditioners including this one (my favorite – smells like vanilla!), this one and this one. I dry my hair using this hairdryer (in white!). It is an absolute game changer as my hair dries silky smooth and straight! It is worth the investment in my opinion, but if you’re on a budget this travel version is under $100 and the sweetest pink blush (and on my Christmas list!) I will be doing a full review on this hairdryer – stay tuned!

10 Minute Curls:
To curl my hair, I use my ride or die styling wand with this barrel. I bought this trio to have flexibility with different barrel sizes, however you can create the same look with this (cheaper) package. I take half inch sections of my hair and wrap the hair around the barrel away from my face. I get a completely different look if I curl my hair towards my face – and I don’t like it at all! I leave the hair on the wand for 4-5 seconds, then gently let it loose. I start at the hair closest to my face and work my way back until I reach the back of my head, then start on the other side! When using this wand, the curls hold so well I don’t even need to use hairspray or any setting spray!
This look will last me 3 days without any touchups! I sleep normally with my hair down and the curls will always stay in tact, however they will get a bit looser every day. I live in Orlando, Florida the majority of the year and these curls last through the humidity! I call it T3 magic. I have never used another curling wand with similar results. Normally, when I use other curling wands my hair will stay put for a day at the most. This wand also curls my hair in half the time of other hands, meaning my poor damaged ends aren’t exposed to as much heat! This curling wand was worth every. single. penny. I promise you won’t regret this purchase, y’all!
Upkeep:
As I previously stated, my loose waves stay put for 3 days. To keep my hair fresh, I use dry shampoo on my roots on the 3rd (and sometimes 4th) day. I use this dry shampoo most often, because it’s cheap and it works! I also own and use this one, this one and this one!
