Susie’s Secrets to Healthy Hair

Beauty

Mar 21

I am so serious when I say people ask me all the time what the secret is to styling my hair. But the truth is, there is no secret! My hair has a mind of its own and I may try something one day and it turns out amazing, I do the same thing another day and it’s a nightmare. My hair is something I’ve had a love hate relationship with my whole life. I have naturally curly/wavy hair and grew up with a mom with pin straight hair. It’s safe to say, we were pretty lost most of my life when it came to styling. I’ve tried everything under the sun to try and make styling my hair easier and I can’t speak for everyone but I’ll share my experience for you all. I’m going to give you my favorite hair products and processes. Check out my tutorial and all the hair products I use linked below!

My go-to curly girl shampoo & conditioner.

For hair treatment, I use the Olaplex No. 3 about three times a week. I will even sometimes put a small amount in my hair at the end of my shower and leave it until I wash my hair again!

If you’re looking for a more affordable option, this product is a great option instead of the Olaplex treatment.

I started using this Olaplex Oil because of Serene from when we were on the show! She let me use some when I used her straightener one day. It’s a game changer if you’re using heat on your hair.

Jojoba Oil is amazing for an overnight scalp and hair treatment. It’s also something you can put in your hair while in a slicked back bun.

This actually is a bit of a secret!

Several years ago I was in a dress shop and I saw a woman with beautiful natural curls. I asked her what her secret was and she shared this product - specifically the blonde formula. (She was a brunette) I bought it immediately and did what she said - Which was to put it in my hair at the end of a shower and use it almost as if it were a curling serum. (We love a good scrunch) I used this method for a couple years and since then, I’ve moved onto adding other curl products along with the Loreal conditioner. But if you’re a wavy/curly girl, this could be a great addition to your routine.

Lately I’ve been using this Navy Swell Styling and Thickening Cream but I think any good styling cream will get the job done! I also like their texture spray at the roots for a little extra volume.

These microfiber hair towels are amazing!! They reduce frizz and are such a game changer for the curly girl method!

Once my hair is dry or if I’m using heat, this is one of my go-to products to add shine!

A diffuser is a must have for us curly girls! It takes a little practice but it’s a great tool once you get the hang of it.

Boar Bristle Brushes are crucial for blowing out your hair with a smooth finish. My hair stylist put me onto this about a year ago and it cut back on a lot of time in the styling process on days that I’m going for straight or heat curled hair.

This is the curling iron I use for big volume and blow out vibes.

This long barrel is amazing for anyone with long hair! This is the curling iron I use for my day to day beach curls.

I love this contraption for stunning overnight and heatless curls! I would rate these curls a 6/10 total as far as all curls go, including a curling iron. But out of heatless curls alone, this is the best option I’ve personally found so far. I will have a video on my tik tok about it later this week, so be sure to follow and keep an eye out.

These curlers are okay but the curls can get a little wild if you’re not super particular about how you put them in! Truth be told I will probably never use these again.

I found this brand Curlfriend Collective through one of my social media friends with the most amazing curly hair. I have these scrunchies, which is what I sleep in every night along with the silk pillowcase below.
