Everyone wants their hair to be healthy, but how do you achieve healthy hair???

Girl, I am here to help!!!

Here are some of my go-to ways that I keep my hair and scalp happy and healthy.

Hair conditioning masks, such as the Olaplex Mask No. 8, help condition not only your hair, but your scalp as well. Using a hair mask, on wash days, allows the mask to fully pe*****te and focus on those areas that need a little extra love.

Over washing your hair not only dries out your hair, but also your scalp. Try to limit washing your hair to once or twice a week.

Getting your hair cut every 10 weeks is a great way to get rid of dead ends and promote healthy hair growth. Although it seems counterproductive, staying consistent with haircuts allows your hair to continue to grow without continuous breakage from dead ends.

Scalp scrubs and massages also help to increase cell turnover! My go to scalp scrub is Virtue's Exfoliating Scalp Scrub. If you suffer from a super dry scalp or have any sort of flakes, use this before you shampoo and really work it in. You can say goodbye to that dry flaky scalp!

You can stop by the salon and pick up both the Olaplex Mask and the Scalp Scrub or you can shop my store and have them delivered right to your door!

HAPPY MAY, Y'ALL!!!
Can you believe another month has gone by?! You know what that means though, another month another awesome cause that I'm donating to!
For May, I've chosen to highlight the efforts of the Samaritan House
The Samaritan House holds a huge place in my heart because of their efforts to provide support through those who have been through sexual and domestic violence, human trafficking and homelessness.
I find the Samaritan House so easy to support being that it has always been a mission of mine to be kind to everyone, because you truly don't know what kind fo struggles others are facing behind closed doors.
