I was so excited because while compiling this post, Crown Affair reached out to offer us 15% off with code JENS15, and I use (and am PASSIONATE) about several Crown Affair products in my post-shower routine.
01. Best hair towel ever. Dramatically reduces drying time and has the most brilliant design – you tuck the towel ends into this elastic in the back. A cinch! (15% off with JENS15)
02. Lolavie Glossing Detangler. I use this right after I rough dry with a towel, before brushing and putting up in the Crown Affair hair towel. It is such a great heat protectant and really detangles my highly tangle-prone hair. (A hair stylist recently urged me to use Olaplex bond raepair to address this issue — she said it’s because my hair is colored, and that Olaplex will really reduce snarls. I’ve also heard really good things about K18. Does anyone have a strong opinion on either?)
03. Leave-in conditioner. I notice an enormous difference every time I use this, especially in the winter. Hair is unbelievably soft and silky. A little goes a long way! I use only on the bottom half of my strands. (15% off with JENS15)
04. Two products I use on occasion for specific looks: this root lift spray if I want more volume and this “glass hair” product if I want a really silky/glossy finish.
05. Best detangling brush ever. My most-used brush, actually. It detangles wet hair and is also great after you’ve styled hair and don’t want to brush out curls / bent under ends. It detangles without impacting the curl. Also feels great on scalp!
06. This comb to section my hair before hair drying.
07. These clips to section hair!
08. My beloved Dyson AirWrap, of course. The best investment I’ve made in recent memory. (Full review here.)
09. Post-heat-styling, I like to use a tiny bit of this oil on my hair ends to sort of seal things in / add a little shine. I also use this product if I’m applying dry shampoo a few days after blowing my hair out — I like to add to the ends to add a little polish/shape/etc.
10. Oribe superfine hair spray. Light, flexible hold; doesn’t leave hair crunchy.
11. After a few days, I use Crown Affair’s INCREDIBLE dry shampoo (15% off with JENS15). It’s a powder that you brush on and realllly works. Use a heavy hand with this! I like to apply this to roots and then add a spray of this dry shampoo all throughout the rest of my hair.
12. If you ever get “restaurant hair” or just feel like your hair smells old after a few days between shampoos, I swear by this clean-scented hair perfume. It’s luxe and it makes your hair smell divine.
