Today on CCG, I am talking about my favorite haircare products that I am using right now. So many of you continuously ask me about what I use on my hair. Since it has been a hot minute that I have done a beauty post, I figured now was a great time to let you in on my tips and tricks for healthy haircare. I have listed everything I am currently using on my hair, including how I use it below.
1. Oribe Shampoo For Magnificent Volume
First, I do not wash my hair every day. I usually wash my hair every other day or sometimes even every two days. When I do wash my hair, I absolutely love using the Oribe line. Not only does it smell fantastic, in my opinion, it makes my hair noticeably softer. I opt for the volume shampoo although I have thick wavy hair because who doesn’t love voluminous locks?!
I also sometimes break up using Oribe products with, you may gasp, Trader Joe’s Tea Tree Shampoo! I know, I know! But it feels so refreshing and there are no parabens or harmful ingredients in it. I use their body wash a few times a week as well.
2. Oribe Bright Blonde Radiance & Repair Treatment
This is my favorite blonde brightening treatment, hands down! Since I have a few highlights put into my hair every 6-9 months, I have looked for the perfect product to help keep the brassiness away and add some brightness to the blonde. This, by far, is the best one I have used. I use this every 3rd wash instead of my normal conditioner that I have listed below.
3. Oribe Conditioner for Beautiful Color
Can you tell I have a thing for Oribe? I really do love their products and feel like you can’t go wrong with any of them. I leave this conditioner in for a few minutes after I massage in into my scalp and hair. It instantly makes my hair soft and detangles it perfectly.
4. Oribe Gold Lust Nourishing Hair Oil
This is another one of my all time favorite products for haircare. Since I have frizzy, wavy hair, I always use some type of oil on it once I get out of the shower while it’s wet. I squirt a dime size amount into my hands and rub it on throughout my hair. I also repeat this step after I have finished curling my hair or using a flat iron.
I ‘ve used this Pureology one as well as this Moroccan Oil product. The pureology shine serum smells amazing!
5. T3 Micro Twirl Convertible Curling Wand
You may notice I don’t have a blow dryer listed as a step. Well, I am not one to use one unless I must get my hair done quickly for an event. I wash my hair at night and by the next morning, it is dry enough to style. I also feel like this helps keep my hair healthier and stops split ends from occurring because I have cut this step out. Don’t get me wrong, if I need to dry my hair in a jiffy, I will use this T3 Micro one. It’s currently 30% off online.
Moving on, the T3 Twirl is my go to for all my curling needs. I have the convertible base and switch out with different barrels for any possible look I want. I mostly use the 1.25 clip barrel, however, I use the 1″ as well as the 1.5″ quite often as well. Not only is it pretty to look at, but it works perfectly every time.
6. DryBar Money Maker Flexible Hold Spray
After using a tad more Oribe serum, I use this DryBar brand spray to help keep my curls in place. Sometimes, I brush out my curls lightly depending on the look I am going for. This spray is a new find for me and I have been really happy with it so far.
As you can see, I am not a huge product user when it comes to hair. I like to switch up my products every so often and will let you know when I do. For me, using too much product can weigh my hair down and it becomes greasy. Have a product you think I need to try? Let me know what your favorite haircare product is in the comments and I’ll check it out!
To celebrate my one year CCG blog-iversary, I posted some oldies but goodies from one of my first posts below. When I told my husband I needed him to take a picture of my hair for my daily haircare post, he said, ” You should use those pictures from our snow trip last year.” Funny, we are headed to the snow this weekend for some much needed alone time.

Wishing my room actually looked like this right now. It’s currently filled will piles of laundry waiting to be folded after our trip....
Disneyland 2026 🙌🏻 I made it ya’ll. Definitely sore, and fatigued and sleep deprived and the back pain is insane. But I did it. 🤣...
I debated jumping on the bandwagon to share my 2016 throwback. In all honesty, 2016 was the hardest year of my life. It’s something that I’m reminded of daily in this never ending cycle of chronic pain and illness. For those that are new here, in 2016 I underwent 3 surgeries within 4 days. My 14 level spine surgery consisted of 2 surgeries going through my back and side, and then I needed an emergency bowel resection 3 days later due to my colon twisting and flipping on itself. When I woke up from my spine surgery, I immediately moved my right foot and tried to then move my left. It turned out, they knicked my spinal cord and damaged it. I had no feeling in my left leg or foot. Didn’t know if I was moving it and it felt like nothing was there. I remember immediately panicking and because I still had a tube in my mouth, they gave me a paper to write down what was wrong. Drs came in and told my husband and I that they weren’t sure if I’d walk again and definitely sure I wouldn’t be dancing. I lost 25 lbs, a Picc line was put in to try and get me any nutrition. I threw up bile in bucket after bucket.
I didn’t see my kids for 3 1/2 weeks and then had to be moved to a nursing facility. Once home, I had nurses and PT that would come to our house because staying in that facility and not seeing my kids drove me insane (my youngest was only 17 months old). Neil had to shower me, and wipe my butt 🙈. I went through 18 months of PT pushing myself to prove them all wrong. When I think about the last 10 years (and 2016 in particular), it has been a nonstop uphill battle for me. During that same year, we learned that both our daughters would then be diagnosed with the same thing. This is why I keep pushing forward no matter how I feel mentally or physically. I need to show these kids that mama can handle it and I want them to remember how strong I’ve tried to be because some day they may be faced with this same decision. I played this song on repeat laying in the hospital.

SAVE THIS RECIPE! These Ham and Gruyere Hand Pies are SO SIMPLE to make and DELICIOUS 🙌🏻 These make for a fun brunch/lunch idea and will be loved by all. You can also make in batches and reheat for later! You can even use that leftover ham from the holidays to make these too!
•preheat oven 400 (this will bake for 15-20 min)
•puff pastry cut into 12 equal sizes
•leftover Holiday ham for the win
•gruyere cheese (Swiss or brie work too)
•Dijon mustard
•egg brushes on the top
Make sure to use your fork around the edges to push the two pieces of pastry together for when it cooks. Cut a few small knife holes in the top to prevent bubbling. Enjoy! #handpie #puffpastry #puffpastryrecipes #forthoveofmeat...

I don’t use a blow dryer either- unless I really need to get my hair dry fast for some reason. I might need to try that serum.
