Moisture is essential — but the products you choose determine the results✨

I pay attention to how my hair responds while I’m styling: slip, curl clumping, and softness are always my cues. When products are doing their job, the results show up before your hair even dries 🧡 I get AMAZING results with Bask & Bloom Ease Leave-In Conditioner and Curl Mouse

Have dandruff?…try this 🧴✨
I’ve been testing SheaMoisture’s Dandruff + Itch Relief line and my scalp has been much happier.

I used the Shampoo, Conditioner, and Hydro Repair Scalp Serum (the serum is my fave — instantly soothing and cooling on contact). While the scent isn’t my personal favorite, it’s very light and not overpowering, which I actually appreciate for scalp care.

After a few washes, my hair felt clean, refreshed, and I noticed less flakes and irritation. If you deal with dandruff but still want moisture and softness, this combo is worth trying!

#LTKBeauty

New lip oil for summer💖

I got the Neutrogena Lip Oil in Petal Pop & I’m obsessed. My lips feel more moisturized with every use and it’s the perfect sheer pink color! Now I need every color - Def worth a try!

#LTKBeauty

A wash & go with trustworthy products is top tier🎖️

I was gifted by @patternbeauty and I loved trying these staple styling products in their new scent: Indigo Rain.
✨ Leave-In Conditioner — lightweight moisture + slip to prep my curls
✨ Styling Custard — soft definition and curl clumping
✨ Strong Hold Gel — shine and long-lasting hold without stiffness

This combo gives me hydration, definition, and hold — aka everything I want from a wash & go🩵

🚨Which step matters most for you: Moisture, Definition, or Hold?

#LTKBeauty

Healthy wash & gos aren’t about chasing hold — they’re about prioritizing moisture✨

When curls are hydrated, they naturally have elasticity, movement, and definition. This routine was all about keeping it simple and giving my curls what they actually need 🤍
Moisture first. Definition follows.

Products used:
Bask & Bloom Ease Leave-In Conditioner & Curl Mouse

#LTKBeauty

Soft glow. Bright eyes. Minimal effort ✨

On mornings when my skin looks dull or my under-eyes need extra love, I reach for the COSRX Vitamin C 23 + Peptide Collagen Hydrogel Eye Patches.

The vitamin C helps brighten and even my complexion, and the patches instantly cool, smooth, hydrate, & depuff so I look refreshed in minutes.

Simple. Effective. Glowy.💫

Refresh & Restyle with LUS💓
Not ready for wash day yet?? Try this routine to extend your curls another day!!

I love my LUS products🥰 It’s one of the only ones that give me great wash & go results that really last long - 8 days of curls that still look good? I’ll take it haha

LUS products used:
✨All-in-One Styler
✨Infinity Spray Bottle
✨Healthy Scalp Serum
✨Curly Claw Clip

To get rid of some frizz and add definition back to my curls, I diluted a small amount of the All-in-one Styler and ran it over my curls in sections to bring them back to life!! If your scalp needs a hydration boost, just add the Healthy Scalp Serum the night before. If you prefer a new refreshed look, opt for a low manipulation style - I did a half up half down claw clip style! What do you think?

Let me know if you try this👇🏽

Unboxing “Grow from the Roots” by Rizos Curls 🌿🫧

This new Lengthening & Thickening Collection looks fabulous! It includes the following:
🌱Biotin Shampoo
🌱Biotin Conditioner
🌱Root Thickening Foam
🌱Lengthening Serum
This set was formulated to increase hair thickness & length in just 90 days! I can’t wait to try it!

Sweet, gentle, and low-key giving dessert in the shower🧋✨

I tried the Native Boba Café Body Wash and the scent alone had me sold. So sweet! It lathers nicely, feels gentle on my skin, and doesn’t leave me too dry after. I would say the scent doesn’t last too long but for a soft daily cleanse? She’s doing what she needs to do💁🏽‍♀️

If you’re into fun scents + skin-friendly formulas, this is a good one to add to your routine🤎

Celebrating Healthy Curls…just because!✨

I vow to practice more healthy hair care habits this year while exploring new quality hair products, styles, & accessories. I will continue to support black-owned & female-owned businesses. And I’m open learning even more along the way!

⁉️What are your healthy hair practices?

✨Styling mode: Activated✨

Okay — it’s styling time (part 2), and I’m in love 😍 I’m using Camille Rose Guava Slip Detangling Leave‑In Conditioner + Whipped Soufflé Styler and my curls are thriving!

Let me tell you why I’ll be grabbing this styling duo for more:

🌺Guava Slip Detangling Leave-In Conditioner
This leave-in has so much slip and glides through my curls so effortlessly. My strands were more manageable, easier to manipulate, & didn’t need to fight against a tangles. It’s the perfect base that gives lightweight hydration.

🌺Guava Slip Whipped Soufflé Styler
This styling cream came in to seal the deal! It has a light creamy texture that was so easy to evenly distribute through my curls. Once fully styled, my hair felt moisturized and defined with a soft flexible hold.

✨Result=Defined, juicy, bouncy curls with a perfect blend of volume + definition. It’s like a mini tropical vacation in a bottle. Ya girl is seriously feeling this combo! Make sure to check out the full wash day routine (pt. 1) 👀

#LTKBeauty

Wash Day Glow-Up🧖🏽‍♀️🫧

Giiiirl, my wash day just got a whole lot easier! Let me tell you what makes this Camille Rose duo a natural hair dream:

🌺Guava Slip Detangling Shampoo
The shampoo surprised me — it lathers nicely but still feels gentle, and the slip is real. My curls were detangling while I was still shampooing (which never happens for me!). It’s got guava fruit essence + Kakadu plum extract, so my hair felt clean but not stripped.

🌺Guava Slip Detangling Conditioner
Then the conditioner came through with the moisture I love - so nourishing! It’s creamy, smells like a tropical drink, and melted right into my strands. I could literally finger-detangle in seconds and my curls bounced right back.

✨Results = Soft, detangled curls that feel healthy, scalp that’s balanced, and strands that are perfectly prepped for styling! Stay tuned for that in my next reel👀

** Honest Review **

Ready for some fun in the sun with a mix of relaxation? Mexico is a great location and I chose a beautiful spa resort called Cabo AZUL Los Cabos - a Hilton Vacation!! This is a large family-friendly resort that still caters more to the adults. I would rate it 4/5 (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️)

Highlights:
▪️Hotel aesthetic: Clean & Modern
▪️Location: 20min drive from the airport. Walking distance to local town (safe) and plenty of transportation available if you want to explore further
▪️Room: 1 Bedroom Suite [Pool view]. Large living room, full kitchen, king bedroom with a jacuzzi, separate bathroom, & spacious balcony. Daily Room Service available!
▪️Food & Drinks: 4 Restaurants & Swim up Bar available. Everything was delicious but pricey!
▪️Pools: 6 outdoor pools including an adult only pool. Plenty of lounge chairs & towels available. If you have children, there is a kiddie pool and waterslide to keep them entertained :)
▪️Beach: Just a few steps on to the beach - clean, gorgeous views, but not for swimming
▪️Spa: Tranquility at its finest! Perfect massage and there’s lots of amenities. This was my favorite experience at this resort!

Downfalls (minor):
▪️High prices for food/drinks
▪️Pool closes too early
▪️No nightlife or entertainment on the resort

Thanks for my stay Hilton!

📌Box Braids : Takedown Routine

Installing 41 box braids can certainly be a chore, but the takedown process doesn’t have to be. Follow these easy steps to remove your box braid style and prep for wash day:

✨MY ROUTINE✨
1️⃣Cut off the ends: removing unnecessary braided hair will eliminate time spent unbraiding
2️⃣Use a tail comb to separate hair: this allows you to unravel each braid with ease
3️⃣Remove braiding hair & comb natural hair: detangling in sections helps you manage better for wash day

💡TIP: Washing your hair while it’s in a protective style removes product buildup from the hair/scalp & makes for a much easier takedown process overall

Style REMIX & REFRESH with 4U by Tia

After vacation, I created a new frontal design for my box braid style (mini-twists!). Protective styles work great while traveling because they are low-maintenance and help shield your natural hair from the elements. However, you can take your healthy hair habits even further by using 4U! Here’s how I used the Multi-use Hair Oil & Curl Refresher Mist to refresh my hair and extend my style!

Fun facts:
🌟4U Multi-use oil has the nutrients to promote healthy hair growth and protect your roots & scalp
🌟4U Curl Refresher spray provides hydration & UV protection to safeguard your hair from the sun
🌟My go-to style while in braids is the traditional half-up half-down

⁉️How do you maintain your protective style?
