Scalpcare is skincare. Skincare is genderless & so is having a healthy scalp👩🏼🦲🪒
•
This weeks Scalpcare routine (explained):
•
Starting with my @bushbalm shaving gel & razor (helps provide a smooth glide & no cuts).
•
Cleansed my scalp with @baldarescalpcare Gentle Scalp Cleanser (gotta remove the gel & hair residue).
•
I used the @briogeo scalp revival mask to cool & calm the skin post-shave. Great for those days that you may feel a little irritated after a shave.
•
Rinsed & went in with my after-shave — the @paulaschoice BHA exfoliant. You see me use this often because it’s effective AND gentle. This is the STAR player against those ingrowns & blemishes.
•
Hydrated with my @cecred Scalp Balm (I have dry skin that can flake if I don’t hydrate properly).
•
Locked in that moisture with my @baldarescalpcare SOS Scalp Serum👩🏼🦲🪒

#FreshCutFriday
One day you’re 7 years old, sitting in a salon, a waiting room, or the potty. Reading magazines and picturing what it would feel like to see yourself in one. To read your own thoughts & tell your own stories. Little me would not believe this moment is real. A full spread with a Q & A?! This represents the persistence of continuing to believe in myself. This is for every rejection that I almost allowed myself to internalize. This milestone feels deeply personal & affirming in more ways than one.

Special thank you to @modelistemagazine & @hannahrozelle_ for capturing these images so beautifully🌞✨
I’ve been on the hunt for fun, unique pieces. I love a good jumpsuit (idc if it’s not practical for the restroom). @hazkas invited me to @rujutashethny ’s archive sale and I fell in love with this jumpsuit! So different from any other pieces I own✨
Not feeling the mood? Create a better one! Even though it’s a cloudy day, @nestnewyork newest scent, Maui Mango takes me straight to the beach. The perfect layer for a tropical sensory experience & it’s only available @ultabeauty #NestPartner

Turns out I just needed to travel more. To see and feel a different perspective, experience a slower pace, and open up my mind to the millions of possibilities that exist outside of the confines of what I knew.

Come back to your center.

This week’s Scalpcare routine (explained).
1.) Started with the @bushbalm Shave Gel & @billie razor for a smooth shave with less irritation and friction.
•
2.) Then cleansed with the @baldarescalpcare Gentle Scalp Cleanser to remove buildup without stripping my scalp.
•
3.) I used the @bushbalm Milk & Honey Ingrown Hair Scrub because exfoliation is one of the most important steps in preventing bumps and ingrown hairs after shaving. I favor post-shave exfoliation but you can also prep by exfoliating before shaving.
•
4.) After shaving, I always use a BHA Exfoliant (@paulaschoice ) like an aftershave to help keep pores clear and calm post-shave congestion.
•
5.) Then I hydrated with the @baldarescalpcare Daily Scalp Butter and finished with the @bushbalm Milk & Honey Ingrown Hair Oil to lock in moisture and keep my scalp soft.
