Hi bestie! Let's talk about something that can instantly boost confidence — healthy, shiny hair.

Whether you're using extensions or rocking your natural locks, maintaining that silky, salon-fresh look takes a few key products that actually work.

I've gathered my must-have items that keep my hair soft, manageable, and picture-perfect, even when my extensions haven't been washed as often as my natural hair!

1. Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo

If your hair feels dry, brittle, or damaged, this shampoo is an absolute lifesaver. I use it around three times a week, and it's made a huge difference in how my hair looks and feels. It strengthens damaged strands, adds smoothness, and brings back softness without weighing your hair down. After consistent use, it feels like my hair finally got its strength and shine back.

2. Moroccanoil Frizz Control Serum

This serum is a total must-have for managing frizz and tangles — especially on days when your hair feels wild and unmanageable. It gives instant shine and softness while keeping everything sleek and smooth. You can apply it to damp or dry hair; either way, it works wonders for detangling and taming frizz. The scent is also heavenly, and you only need one or two pumps depending on your hair length and thickness.

3. Ceremonia Hair Treatment

Ceremonia has become a favorite for many reasons, but their treatment products are next-level. This one, in particular, leaves hair feeling soft, nourished, and smelling divine. The best part? A small amount goes a long way, so you don't need to use too much. It keeps your hair hydrated without that heavy or greasy feeling — perfect for both natural hair and extensions.

4. Dove Dry Shampoo Line

Finding the right dry shampoo can be tricky, but Dove's line truly stands out. Unlike others that leave hair feeling too dry, sticky, or overly powdery, this one refreshes your hair without the weird texture. It removes oil, adds volume, and gives that just-washed look in seconds — perfect for busy mornings or in-between wash days. It's affordable, effective, and smells super clean.

Keeping your hair healthy and shiny doesn't have to be complicated — it's all about using the right mix of products. These hair must-haves have helped keep my hair soft, frizz-free, and full of life, even with extensions. So bestie, if you've been looking for ways to give your hair some extra love, these products are definitely worth a spot in your routine!
