College (DORM) HAIR ESSENTIALS

Going away to College and don’t know what to bring? These are all my favorite things that will make this year so much better, not just for your hair, but for your mental state. Dorm life can be hard on hair (hard water, a lot of straightening, sports, going to be with it wet, etc.)  so make sure you have these hairstyling essentials to keep your hair healthy all school year long.  

• SleepyTie – Add to cart now.  It will be the best thing I share with you ever in my lifetime if your hair is longer than shoulder length. IYKYK. Don’t say I didn’t tell you  – https://thesleepytie.com 

• Wet Brush – the hook is key to hang on the shower head so it doesn’t touch anything in the shared showers – https://a.co/d/ftpBkHw

• Silk Pillowcase (better for hair and skin, reduced friction, breakage, knotting, etc.  I DO NOT recommend sleeping on wet hair, but if you make a habit of it, this will save your locks) – https://amzn.to/3Md6Tu5

• Dry shampoo (for early class days)- https://a.co/d/aHHUi1y

• A clarifying shampoo once per week will help keep hair free of any mineral build-up. Hard water and no water softener in the shower can be brutal and make hair super tangly.  ( I love the ouai detox.) – https://a.co/d/hX0J9bU or malibu c hard water treatment and wellness kit- https://a.co/d/gcwjg7V

• Blow dryer brush (a one-step blowout plus you won’t be looking for your brush or the concentrator for the end of your blow dryer).  It’s all in one.  But the detachable base can be used on it’s own, and there are 3 available brush attachment options – https://a.co/d/blKV2Ew  – FYI …it’s currently on sale for $27.87 on amazon right now

• Interchangeable attachment wand ( I love these bc its like having 3 different irons in 1, to be able to create all different curly styles with just one tool)  – Paul Mitchell interchange curling wand with 3 barrel attachments – https://a.co/d/dGcrEBJ

• Towel turban – great for deep conditiong while studying in your dorm it traps body heat so your treatment can really penetrate deep into the hair.  STEPS TO DEEP CONDITION AT HOME:  Shampoo hair, towel dry, apply mask and clip up, cover with shower cap, cover with turbie twist, let sit, rinse out completely before you get ready to go out so hair is super healthy and silky.  I love this big one that for long, thick hair and everything fits underneath – https://a.co/d/i1JEGFi

* DO-IT-ALL  wet/dry heat protectant – this one never lets me down but I don’t know if I’ve ever shared it with you before.  No need for multiple products bc   you can use this on wet hair before you blowdry and again on dry hair before any hot tools.  It’s an all around winner.  Bonus: it smells like watermelon and has tiny sparkles!  I used to be a rep for Sebastian and still have a deep love for their products.  <3. – https://a.co/d/cmVDaZx
