After years of coloring, curling and ceramic straightening my hair, all of those highlights and hot tools finally took a toll on my strands. Brittle baby hairs, thinning tresses and sad split ends took the place of my once-healthy hair. That’s when I started taking my haircare seriously, investing in high-quality products that would restore all of the heat damage that wreaked havoc on my locks.
Now, my hair finally feels shiny, strong and soft! And I owe it all to these nine beauty essentials. I swear by these Sephora staples! Keep scrolling to shop my haircare holy grails.
