I’ve had so many of my girlfriends asking me about my hair lately, and complimenting me on it! But in all honesty, having this mermaid hair is a lot of work. It takes a long time to style – and I have better things to do with my time! – so I don’t usually use hot tools or anything anymore. I either air-dry or braid my hair, and then let it do its thing!

On the rare occasion that I pull out my curling or flatiron, I want the hairstyle to last for at least three days. These are the products I come back to every single time for flawless hair…
