Delicious Hair Cream for Thick Wavy and Long Hair

I've been looking for a cream that can manage my long, thick, and wavy hair. Since I am working in the events industry as a side hustle I often use hair curlers, colors, and treatments. It will damage your hair if you are not taking care of it. I took some snaps after school and it still looks good.

I managed to try this product recommended by a friend. It is a balm and conditioner (ion Moisture Conditioner, Moisturizing Treatment, Vegan, Paraben Free, Hydrating, Reduces Breakage) and whenever I use it it makes my hair smell so delicious like I wanna eat it for real! Smells like creamy vanilla and fresh flowers. 

I was testing my dyes and upcoming project look and my hair is so effortlessly managable! I'm just leaving some of my screenshots here with the blonde milky hair using the product. 

If you have natural curls then this product will add a smooth and silky effect. Of course, your shampoo and other hair products will also play a role in taking care of your hair. I use Dove shampoo most of the time and use a Moroccan oil product to moisturize my hair. 

Why the Dove Intense Repair variant? I am always outside after school because of projects on filming and events. The sun can literally damage your hair and not to mention the salon and hairdressers I go to use blowers and dyes on me on gigs. That can damage my hair if I do not take action and do some hair care afterward. So it's recommended to use this shampoo but if you are really not going out like me then other variations can moisturize your hair.

My hair is naturally long and wavy so yeah it's a ritual to comb it and use a sturdy clip when I do some filming and just errands. I use this big clipper often with a garter ponytail. It is usually available at Dukels, Walmart, or any small convenience store. 

Big hair clips are essential for any long-haired girl! I just thought people often notice my long wavy hair and ask how I take care of it and now I just laid it all here on my blog post. One tip I can share is not to use excessive hair products on the hair guys. I do need to use some because of side work but if I were not into this business I would not! The best care you can do is to be completely hygienic with minimal products.

I think that's it, enjoy being creative with your hair with aftercare!
