Low Energy Washday ✨

Some days are just NOT it, but when my hair is dirty, a little self care washday becomes absolutely necessary.

Bc we never gatekeep, here is what I used:

PRODUCTS:

➰ @BounceCurl Weightless Shampoo & Conditioner

➰ @Innersense Organic Beauty Air Dry Cream (in my Amazon storefront under Organic Haircare)

TOOLS:

➰ @Laifen US SE 2 diffuser

➰ @The Perfect Haircare plopping towel

➰ WET detangling brush (in my Amazon storefront under Hair Accessories)

TOP:

➰ @Curlfriend Collective Polka Dot Silk Scarf (made into a top 💛)

🔗 Brands, products and discount codes are all linked in my bio

*some gifted & affiliate links - I may earn a small commission if you choose to shop 💛

LIFE UPDATE:

I know I’ve been absent lately and I’ve missed being here with you 💛 I wanted to share why I’ve been a little quieter lately.

A few weeks ago, my brother, Ryan, passed away after a lifelong battle with his health.

He was my first best friend. A person who felt like home.

This loss has been a heavy one.

I’ve been spending time with family and giving myself space to navigate the many emotions that come with grief.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while I’ve stepped back. I’ve always felt incredibly lucky to have such a kind community here.

I’m grateful for each and every one of you.

... Read moreI totally understand those days when you're just running on empty, but still want to treat your wavy hair with care. When energy is low, a simple and nourishing washday can make a world of difference—not only for your hair but for your overall mood. Using lightweight and organic products like BounceCurl Weightless Shampoo & Conditioner really helps in keeping my waves refreshed without weighing them down. I especially love pairing it with the Innersense Organic Beauty Air Dry Cream because it enhances my natural wave pattern while promoting moisture and softness. When it comes to tools, I recommend using a diffuser, such as the Laifen US SE 2 diffuser, on a low heat setting to gently dry your hair and add volume without causing frizz. Plus, investing in a plopping towel and a WET detangling brush makes detangling and drying much easier and less damaging. On low energy days, styling should be effortless yet stylish. Using a silk scarf as a top, like the Curlfriend Collective Polka Dot Silk Scarf, can also elevate the self-care vibe while keeping you comfortable. Personally, I find that dedicating this time to hair care is therapeutic and grounding. It’s a small self-care ritual that helps me reconnect with myself, especially during tough times. If you’re coping with emotional stress or grief, taking these moments for gentle care can offer a soothing break and a sense of normality. Remember, the key is to listen to your hair’s needs and your own energy levels. You don’t have to follow a complicated routine every time—sometimes the simplest approach yields the best results and leaves you feeling refreshed and ready for whatever comes next.
