Beautiful babes, I am excited; I have finally figured out the magical concoction needed to maintain perfect silver hair.
In fact, this is a hair-tastic ‘Beauty Favourites’ for tendril-havers and toner-needers alike. Enjoy!
Joico Curl Cleansing Sulfate-Free Shampoo
With naturally wavy hair comes a scientific inclination towards breakage and dryness. Add bleach and perish. Like my own mop of curls.
Enter the game-changer. I have been using Joico’s Curl Cleansing Sulfate-Free Shampoo (pH 4.5-5.5) for about one month and feel my hair is almost improving in texture.

I tend to stick between the week three and six dials as my hair is fast to brass, but it is recommended to start at week one and work your way up until your next colour appointment.
Tangle Teezer Compact Styler
A hairbrush in my favourites? No-one is more surprised than I am. Brushing my hair is one of my lifelong first world problems (waves + hairbrush = frizz) but this little dude has turned me into a total convert. The hair tool does what it says on the tin and then some – it can be used on wet or dry hair, stimulates the scalp without killing volume, and sweeps through tangles in no time at all. Handbag
