Why Your Curls Don’t Last + Testing New Drugstore Products (Longevity Q&A)

DM me GROUP on IG, FB or email if you're tired of overthinking your routine and just want to know what your hair actually needs 👇

The truth about protein and moisture?
It’s way more confusing than it needs to be.

This is one of the most common topics people ask me about, and the reason I tell you not to stress over it is because most of what you’ve heard is overly complicated or just plain wrong.

Inside my coaching program, I help you cut through the noise and focus on what really matters.
Instead of talking about “protein vs. moisture” like a balancing act, I teach you my method of looking at it as:

✨ Structure & Strength vs. 💧 Softness & Flexibility

This approach helps you assess how your hair feels, and build a routine that gives you the right balance for long-lasting results, without having to decode a million product labels or guess what's wrong.

If your routine feels overwhelming, I’ll help you simplify it, step by step.

DM me GROUP on IG, FB, or email to learn more about my coaching program and how we can create a routine that actually works for your hair.
