My favorite hair advice ⬇️
➰ Curl pattern doesn’t matter as much as you think (esp when it comes to choosing products)
➰ If your hair is as damaged as mine was, prioritize protein and bond repair treatments.
➰ Listen to YOUR hair, not just what is working for everyone else.
➰ Try your products several times and in several ways before you cut them out. Even then, hang on to them and try again in a few months. As your hair gets healthier, it’s needs may change.
➰ …That said, keep your eyes on those expiration dates 👀
➰ Practice your application technique (I did this and this alone for the first 9 months of my healthy hair journey. Game Changer!) which brings me to my next point…
➰ You don’t need ALL the products!
➰ Keep your hair goals at the forefront, always! It’s easy to get caught up in all the new techniques, products and tools. But if it doesn’t serve you, you don’t need to feel guilty or “less than” for not trying them.
➰ One method is not a one size fits all.
➰ The healthier the hair, the easier it is to work with and the more products you can get to work for you.
➰ Try your best not to compare your journey to someone else’s. Our hairs have their own unique finger print of chemical, thermal and mechanical damage. It’s impossible to put a time stamp on how long it will take to see results that you love.

When managing wavy or curly hair, adopting a personalized approach is truly empowering. I’ve experienced firsthand how focusing on your hair’s specific needs rather than following generalized advice can transform your hair’s health. For example, paying attention to protein and bond repair treatments made a significant difference in strengthening my damaged strands. One key realization is that curl pattern alone should not drive your product choices. Instead, observing how your hair responds to certain ingredients and routines offers better guidance. I also found that patience with products—trying them multiple times or using different application methods—helps you understand what truly benefits your hair as it improves over time. In addition, application technique plays a crucial role. Early on, I concentrated on perfecting how I applied products, which improved results dramatically. This made me less reliant on an extensive product collection, proving that you don’t need to use everything marketed for wavy or curly hair. Setting clear hair goals is important too. Avoid getting overwhelmed by trends or expecting quick fixes. Remember, hair health journeys are unique, and comparing yourself to others only causes frustration. Every person’s hair has its own ‘fingerprint’ of damage, so progress varies. I also learned to regularly check product expiration dates and store products properly, which keeps them effective and prevents scalp issues. Finally, embracing your hair’s natural texture and adjusting care as it changes helps maintain healthier waves and curls. This mindset shift from chasing perfection to nurturing what you have has made my hair care experience both rewarding and sustainable.
