If you have been following my blog for a while, you’ve probably caught on that I am a creature of habit. I absolutely love trying out new products and seeing what works and what doesn’t but for the most part, I stick to the same old same old. Because of this, a product has to be pretty amazing for me to add it to my routine. The Joon Saffron Hair Elixr is just that. Being half Persian myself, I have always known about saffron. It is used in countless meals that my family eats on a regular basis and every […]
Dream Combo for Soft & Shiny Hair
More than anything else on my blog, I get asked about my hair. What products I use, how I style it, my cut, my color, everything! In the last several months I have discovered two products that are absolutely key in getting soft, shiny hair that I am so excited to share! Some people say their hair styles best when its dirty and has a little grit, but I am the opposite. My hair always styles the best when it is clean and soft! The Dream Combo: The last time I got my hair done, my hairdresser introduced me to […]
Everything About HAIR
Getting your hair done is always so exciting and fun but it’s super important to know how to communicate exactly what you’re wanting with your hairdresser ! Here are my tips for doing so, so that you can leave the salon loving your new hair! 1. Bring pictures of what you want Seems pretty obvious, but a picture of what you don’t know how to describe can be the difference between getting the cut/color you want versus something you totally weren’t expecting. Point out specifics in the picture of what you like (“I like the tone of her blonde highlights, I […]
The $3 Hair Mask Worth Trying
Move over, Sephora! No need to spend a fortune on a hair mask when Aussie exists! (JK Sephora I still <3 you!) When I saw this hair mask was only $3 dollars, I’ll admit, I was hesitant. My haircare has always been dominantly drugstore products, but $3?! That sounds like a disaster in a bottle. Except for when it’s actually amazing! The Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Smooth Deep Conditioner has become a staple in my routine! While you’re in the shower, work this into your hair and let it soak in for 3 minutes. I skip conditioning entirely when I […]
Product Highlight: Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray
When I go through in with my hair styling products I have three goals: hold, texturize, and volumize. Usually this means a hairspray and either a texturizing spray, dry shampoo, or both! But, after discovering the Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray, all my needs are met with just one product! I have to give full credit to my good friend Kelsey for this one. She introduced me to it and it is now a total staple in my routine! What it does: Soaks up any oil to keep your hair fresh and grease free throughout the day Creates amazing texture without […]
Herbal Essences Bio Renew
If you read my “Favorite Hair Products” post then you probably saw how obsessed I am with the Smooth Collection shampoo and conditioner from Herbal Essences. I have literally used that stuff for as long as I can remember and I think it’s simply the best. Because of that, you can probably imagine my excitement when the first products I received as a beauty blogger were some from Herbal Essences new BioRenew line. I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was a little nervous to try these products, too. I was so obsessed with the Smooth Collection that I […]
I Colored My Hair!! Back to Brunette <3
This Persian girl is back to her roots! I naturally have darkish brown hair that lightens up in the summer, probably thanks to my blonde haired mama. For the past 2 and a half years I have been balayage highlighting my hair similar to the way Jessie James Decker’s hair looks, but I just recently decided to go back to brunette! Pics of my old hair below: I have a tough head of hair that can handle a lot, but this last summer I really started noticing the bleach taking its toll. My hair just wasn’t as soft and shiny […]
My New Flat Iron (Drybar)
Who do I think I am, a hair junkie now? I’m not sure, but I have been loving playing around with my hair styling routine lately, which is why when my trusty CHI caputted on me on Wednesday night, I didn’t fret too hard at the idea of buying a new one. The first place I went was Ulta. I thought about just repurchasing the CHI but that seemed so boring and it was 100 dollars for the same of what I was used to (I didn’t absolutely love my CHI to begin with, but it did the job and […]
Favorite Hair Products!
I have always been pretty low maintenance with my hair. I’m definitely more of a makeup person, so up until recently when I started getting into haircare, I was a shampoo, conditioner, and some hairspray/volumizing powder when I curl my hair kind of person (ok, maybe I’m not that low maintenance, but I like to think I am). Some background on my hair: I have a lot of it. Its pretty fine (thanks mama), but there is a LOT of it (thanks pops). I have been coloring my hair since I was a sophomore in high school, so 7 years […]
