I’ve worn my hair short for about 10 years, and love it! Since it’s naturally curly and I don’t color it, I have a rather simple styling routine. Here are a few of my go-to staples that I swear by and use daily.

Davines LOVE Shampoo – great for curly hair and it smells delicious
Aveda Black Malva Conditioner – enhances my cool, dark tones
Aveda Invati Conditioner – ayurvedic herbs help thicken hair
Davines Curl Moisturizing Mousse – adds moisture and a workable hold
Aveda Be Curly Enhancer – intensifies curly and tames frizz
Aveda Grooming Clay – pliable and matte finish
Aveda Air Control Hairspray – hands down the best hairspray. it’s a dry, workable hold

For a natural looking bronze, I suggest applying Les Beiges on the contours of your cheeks; brushing upward while avoiding the jawline. Finish with a touch around the temples and a sweep of your brush over your nose. Simple and fresh!
