I wanted to switch it up for today’s video, and bring you along my typical evening routine for a work night. It’s a challenge every day to squeeze in a workout, cooking, and relaxing while also getting to bed at a decent time. I wanted to share a realistic look at what my evenings look like, so I hope you enjoy! I share several tips for working out with curly hair, my night time skincare routine, and share a bit of my precious puppies, Holly and Chloe. Hope you enjoy!

Struggling with flat roots and a lack of volume? Diffuse is key! 1. After applying styling products (gel or mousse is critical for hold), scrunch hair with a hair towel. ⭐️BONUS TIP: For extra hold and to tame frizz, apply another light glaze of gel or mousse after microplopping. 2. Flip hair upside down and plop it over a counter or other flat surface. Hover your diffuser around. No flat surface? Gently cup your hair in sections. This will prevent elongation. Hover the whole time if you want elongation. 3. Flip right side up and cup the ends of your hair in the diffuser and press up towards the head. Angle the diffuser towards your hair versus straight up to prevent frizz. 4. Use the prongs to lift the roots up and hold. Having a diffuser with long enough prongs that extend out past the end of the bowl is key! ⚠️This is why I don't recommend the Dyson because the prongs are not long enough and it gets way too hot. 5. After hair is dry, fluff out the roots and scrunch out the cast with dry hands. ⚠️ You can finish air drying if needed but wait to fluff after it's fully dry! Settings I use are high heat and low fan speed. I alternate to medium heat on the ends sometimes. This diffuser does not get too hot even on high!

This is Why Your Curls Don’t Last + Longest-Lasting Routine
🔗 in profile to download. The #1 way to improve consistency is to track and plan routines. 📝 🗓️ How does tracking help? -Log what products & techniques you use -Assess how your hair reacts -Analyze trends over time to identify what's working and what's not -Plan your routine, tweak for your desired results, & achieve balance In this example, I share how I wanted to achieve more volume while using my favorite gel for max definition & hold. I used less cream, went with one that's more lightweight, and added the volume booster spray. 👆🏼For best testing results, only change one variable at a time! You'll get to see this routine in an upcoming YT video on May 5.
