🌟What products do I use? For this at-home blowout I used high-end products (see below.) Should I also share some of my drugstore/affordable faves? LMK in the comments 🩷

For this particular wash, here’s what I used:

🔥Pre-wash

* @patternbeauty Transition Mask + coconut oil - under a heated cap for maximum moisture

🫧Cleansing

* @jvnhair Nurture Hydrating Shampoo for Dry Hair
* Massaged my scalp with a silicone scalp massager
* @olaplex No4P Blonde Enhancing Toning Shampoo

💧Conditioning

Mixed 2 deep conditioners and left them on my hair for 15 minutes in the shower:
* @briogeo Curl Charisma Rice Amino + Avocado Hydrating & Defining Hair Mask
* @kevin.Murphy Hydrate-Me.Masque

🥇Protect

* @olaplex No. 9 Bond Protector Nourishing Hair Serum

💁🏽‍♀️Finish

* Light coat of @lorealparis OG hair spray Elnett (apparently they have an unscented one so I can finally save my lungs because that stuff STICKS)
* A few drops of @moroccanoil argan oil, warmed in my hands and applied only to the ends

💬What other hair questions do you have? Let me know in the comments and I’ll be sure to answer them 😘

📌Save this to come back to for your next blowout to keep your hair healthy and happy!

I was so nervous before I got my first balayage tr

I was so nervous before I got my first balayage treatment on my virgin brunette curls. Almost 2 years (and lots of trial and error) later, I’ve learned how to best take care of my hair so that it’s still healthy, shiny, and bouncy - whether curly or straight.

Here are just a few tips for you to keep your colour-treated hair heathy, even when you straighten it (hint: it’s all about your regular routine)

1 - Learn and relearn
I was so used to my virgin hair. It was so easy and low maintenance. Aside from making sure my products were colour-safe, I didn’t realize that my hair had different needs now that it was colour-treated (and bleached.) I had to learn new techniques and practices, and relearn old ones (hello oil treatments) to let my coloured hair thrive.

2 - Hair masks EVERY WASH
I listen to my hair, and depending on its state and needs, I’ll use either a protein mask or a moisturizing mask. By paying attention to the cues from my hair and giving it the protein or moisture it needed, my hair quickly bounced back. (I leave masks in for longer than the label says, and often pair it with heat or steam to get max benefits.)

3 - Keep hair moisturized between washes
When you strip your hair of its natural colour (I’m a dark chocolate brown naturally) you’re weakening the hair shaft. My hair didn’t retain moisture as easily as it did before. Now I make sure to use ultra moisturizing products on my curls (look for water as the first ingredient) and seal the ends with oil, and seal the whole thing with a light-hold gel. Then, on days 2, 3, 4, 2359235 after wash day, I pay attention to my hair. If it looks or feels dry, I add some products (mostly on the ends.) When my hair is straight, I make sure to apply a light oil to the ends to finish my look. This keeps my ends from getting brittle and infuses moisture all the way to the root.

This Barbie went to her movie premiere 🩷🎬🩷

What a night it was as @wearezombiesfilm closed out the @fantasiafestival with a sold-out audience of die-hard fantasy, gore, and @rkss.films fans! I’m always a little nervous to watch a finished product, but this dark comedy zombie movie is truly outstanding and hilarious! The fans are out of this world - we truly could not have premiered in front a more incredible audience. The team, cast, and crew all did an amazing job at bringing this graphic novel to life on the big screen. The really earned each applause, cheer, and standing ovation (there were many!) Seeing my name in the opening and closing credits never gets old 😊

Rocking this hot pink dress and feathered shoes on the red carpet definitely felt like a true Barbie moment (ironic for the premiere of a Zombie movie, I know 🤣) The movie is slated for a theatrical release in the spring, so I’ll definitely be sharing more (including behind the scenes pics) when we’re closer to a wide release. I can’t wait for you all to see this movie 🍿🌟💕

🎉🎂 Happy Birthday to my incredible mom, @ano

🎉🎂 Happy Birthday to my incredible mom, @anothermandycreation ! 🎂🎉

Today is a day to celebrate the amazing woman you are. I can’t put into words how much you mean to me and how grateful I am for having you in my life.

You wear so many hats - you’re the favorite cousin who always knows how to throw a good party, the nurturing nurse who cares for everyone with boundless compassion, and the kitchen wizard whose fried chicken is pure magic (seriously, it’s addictive!). But beyond all of that, you’re the woman who radiates beauty and kindness both inside and out, and I’m beyond lucky to have inherited some of that charm from you.

Every year, as we celebrate your birthday, I’m reminded of just how much you’ve influenced my life. Your unwavering confidence in me, your love, and your sense of humor (sometimes, a little cheeky 😉) have shaped me into the person I am today.

You’re not just my mom; you’re my cake mama, the one who bakes sweet memories and fills our lives with joy. Your heart is immense, and you’ve taught us all the true meaning of kindness and compassion. From family to friends to strangers, you’ve touched countless lives.

Here’s to a year filled with joy, adventure, and all the wonderful surprises life has to offer 🥳🎈
