Shampoo & conditioner that works for my fine and oily hair:
#Kerastase Specifique Divalent Balancing Shampoo for Oily Hair
#Kerastase Chronologiste Shampoo For Dull And Brittle Hair

dae Signature Conditioner 32 oz/ .94 L 
All the products are available at Sephora - for some reason, the Kesatase products didn't link.

My go-to combo is the Kerastase Specifique Divalent Balancing Shampoo for Oily Hair and Dae Signature Conditioner. Then every couple of washes, I do a double cleanse using both; Kerastase Chronologiste Shampoo For Dull And Brittle Hair & Kerastase Specifique Divalent Balancing Shampoo for Oily Hair, followed by the Dae Signature Conditioner.

The Oribe Gold Lust Repair & Restore Shampoo and conditioner are too expensive for me to use regularly, but are great when I do use them.

I tried The Ordinary Behentrimonium Chloride 2% Conditioner 8.1 oz/ 240 mL  a month ago and I love how lightweight it is on my thin hair! It doesn’t weigh it down or make it look greasy it’s just the perfect conditioner for me.

My tip is to apply #Living Proof Mini Perfect Hair Day In-Shower Styler 2 oz/ 60 mL and then rinse it slightly before scrunching. 

[vancouveritette]

I love the #ALTERNA Haircare CAVIAR line. 

I went for it since it’s sulfate free. The Shampoo Conditioner and CC cream leave my scalp and hair moisturized and shinny.

The ALTERNA Haircare CAVIAR Anti-Aging® Replenishing Moisture CC Cream 3.4 oz/ 100 mL  is a 10 - in - 1 product which I use while my hair is wet. I add some to my scalp where I’m sometimes itchy or I have dry scalp and to my hair line for frizz control and ends for damage protection. It’s not too heavy a little goes a long away and smells amazing! Totally wort the $$$$. 

[katzerb]

Using oils in my hair has helped to strengthen it and give it moisture 💦

[Mellmars1185]

When washing your hair, rinse with cool water to seal the cuticles of the hair.

[mimipsu]

Rinse your hair really well when using conditioner.

[SammyBruja]

Hair tip trim ends monthly I use Olaplex No. 3 Hair Repair Perfector about every other week, I comb my conditioner with a very wide tooth comb leave in a few mins and rinse with cooler water
*I do not use hot water on my hair or skin*
make sure you are using a clarifying shampoo on the scalp with a good ph that’s not harsh and drying, exfoliate that scalp! I only wash my hair once a week and maintain with my tangle teaser brush and a very small amount of dry shampoo and Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil 

 for curls I wash my hair upside down and use my wide tooth comb the same only after I twist my hair up to train my curls with a little leave in conditioner like Kérastase Chroma Absolu Anti-Frizz Leave-In Treatment for Color-Treated Hair 5.1 oz/ 150 mL  I love the growth treatment from kerastase as well!! 

[GracieFirgau]

My ends tend to be frizzy when I brush them after I hear style them. To combat frizz, I use a hair oil. The Moroccanoil Pure Argan Oil 1.7 oz/ 50 mL is great for this

[Jadarius]

My tips and tricks on hair is actually one easy step that will completely change your hair game for the better. My boyfriends mother is Korean and they know how to do skin care like a pro. You are probably wondering what does skin care have anything to do with hair? Lemme tell you. When she washes her face she says NEVER dry the water off your face. Let it air dry. So taking that same method into consideration will be a huge game changer. No heat is needed. You will see your hair transform back into its natural state if you do this. 💕 If this helps anyone then let me know and tell me what you think In the comments down below! Hope y’all are enjoying this weekend.

@Jadarius I want to give up heat styling but it's soooo hard

[LeeHearts]

My tip is to use a wide-tooth comb in the shower or on damp hair to prevent breakage. I was recommend this by a hair stylist a while back and it works really well. I use it to de-tangle my hair while letting my conditioner sink in. It's gentle but still gets any knots out.
