My Favorite Hair Oils: Get shiny, healthy hair!

Hey everyone! I want to talk about some products that have changed my hair for the better: hair oils. At first I was very hesitant to use oil on my hair because my hair can get very oily. I was pleasently surprised to find that hair oil put much needed moisture back into the ends of my hair, gave it excellent shine, made my hair dry much faster after applying it after a shower, and has made it easier for my hair to grow longer. These products are something I am going to keep in my hair routine!


My three favorite hair oils:


-Moroccan Oil Treatment:

-Arganics Argan Oil:

Hair Secrets Extensions Review

Hello my loves! I am very excited to tell you about some hair extensions I recently received. They are called Hair Secrets Hair Extensions. I am not exaggerating when I say they are amazing! First of all the company is so nice and easy to work with. They contact you immediately if you send them an email, and are very informative and so freaking sweet! I wasn’t sure what color hair extension I would be, so I emailed them a picture of my hair and they contacted me back with what color they thought fit me best. The color of the extensions were just barely different than my natural hair, but once dyed matched perfectly!

 Some information about the company and extensions:

-The company is based in Australia.

-30 colors to choose from with help from the employees to match the best color for you!

-Shipping was really fast for me! But average shipping for the U.S. is 7 to 10 business days.

-The extensions are 100% real remy human hair. This means you can cut, curl, straighten, and dye your extensions. Remy is the highest quality hair!

-Ultimate volume set (7 wefts) retails for $209 and the extensions for fine hair (5 wefts) retails for $169.

-Comes with a storage bag that you can keep your extensions. This prevents them from getting tangled and keeps them lasting longer.

-The extensions are the same thickness and length throughout.

For more information check out their website! I couldn’t be happier with these extensions and the company. I highly recommend you trying these out yourself!

DISCOUNT CODE FOR $5 OFF: CHELS5  

The color I have is: Park Avenue

The pictures below are in the sunlight, and the color is actually more of an ashy brown. It was really hard to get a picture that showed the true color. The great thing though is that you can dye them if they don't match perfectly!

^This is what it looks like in a more shaded area^

My Current Hair Care Routine

This is a video about my hair routine when I get out of the shower. I love these products SO much and highly recommend them.

Products Mentioned:

-Big shampoo from Lush

-Macadamia Oil deep conditioning hair mask

-It's a 10 with Keratin
