The Ultimate Guide to Frizz-Fighting Products That Actually Deliver

We’re at the tail end of quite a heat wave while also living through a pretty bad drought so while I’ve enjoyed the sunshine, I know we need the rain!
Have you shopped the Sephora Savings Event?! I’ve shared a lot of recommendations on social media, but if you missed that you can shop my Sephora Storefront and get all my favorites there!
I’ve been raving about the new Kerastase product that has been wonderful for my dry, distressed hair. There are so many protein/bond repair focused products out there—and those are GOOD—but sometimes you just need some good old fashioned moisture and shine. I think I like it even more than the original Nutrative 8 Hour Magic Night Serum, and I really loved the original.
On a seperate note, my husbands’ birthday is tomorrow so we are celebrating him! He’s turning 44 and I’m still 39 so this is a short window of time where it looks like I’m 5 years younger than him (on paper) and I relish that. He’s requested frozen pizza and grocery store ice cream, and if that doesn’t communicate how simple of a man he is, I’m not sure what else could.
I hope you have a nice weekend, thanks for being here!
