Aloe & Honey

genuinely so much fun to step out of the studio and go mobile for a bit with my lil scalp massage trinkets & analysis machine ✨

this very special group of dental assistants invited me to treat them with 30 minute aura rebirth as a lil staff day and i was absolutely delighted to be a part of it 🫶🏽

if you’re traveling somewhere humid, do not skip this step

my hair was not okay in bali. humidity makes your hair swell and frizz, wind from being on the back of bikes all the time causes friction and tangling, and travel stress alone can make your hair shed more than usual. all of it caught up to me fast — way more breakage than i’m used to 🥲

a leave-in conditioner is what actually helps because it locks in moisture and creates a barrier before your hair gets exposed to all of that. i used the honey milk leave-in with my detangling brush after every shower and it made a noticeable difference by the end of the trip 🙌🏽

your hair takes on more than you realize when you travel, plan for it before you go, not after 💕

heat opens up the hair follicle and softens the scalp, so when you apply oil right after, it’s not just sitting on the surface — it’s actually absorbing where it needs to so without steam, most of what you apply just coats the top layer and eventually wipes off on your pillow 🫢

think of it like trying to moisturize dry cracked skin without softening it first. the product doesn’t stand a chance so while steam does the prep work, the oil does the nourishing ✨

bleached hair needs moisture — but how you deliver that moisture matters ✨

lightening makes the hair more porous, which means it has a harder time holding onto moisture and is more vulnerable to dryness, tangling and breakage 🫶🏽

the gentle warmth + humidity paired with a deep conditioning treatment helps soften dry, compromised strands and allows conditioning ingredients to work more effectively throughout the hair 🌱

result: better hydration, more flexibility, less tangling and hair that feels significantly softer after washing 🌸
