My 2021 Hair Refresh

 I’ve always struggled with change, but I’ve been ready for a few, namely chopping off my hair and going a little brighter with the color. So happy with my new blunt lob! Read on to find some hair inspiration and the exact products and tools I use to care for and style my hair:

The Hair Refresh Inspiration

The new cut feels much more modern and cool! Here’s my hair Pinterest board for my recent inspiration!

This Refinery29 article is a great place to start for 2021 hair trends.

And if you like my haircut, here are more lob haircut ideas!

These are some more edgy haircut/hair color ideas!

The Hair Products I’m Using

I just started using custom haircare Prose where it’s specifically formulated for my hair. I really like the shampoo so far, but need a little more time to try the conditioner (I generally use a conditioner that’s formulated for hair with keratin treatments!) I also use the Aveda scalp benefits shampoo a couple times a month.

For leave in conditioner and detangling, I love Unite leave in conditioner. It’s the first thing I add to my hair after washing. Next, I add Aveda’s emollient finishing gloss, adding just a little to my ends. I also use Aveda’s speed of light blow dry accelerator spray.

To add more texture and volume, I started using R+Co.’s zigzag root teasing and texture spray. When my hair is super clean, I spray on my roots for some extra volume. And I also love the Kristin Ess texturizing spray. It’s a great price and adds texture.

My Styling Tools + Brushes

For brushing, I use the Yves Durif vented brush. I use this before I wash my hair to brush it out and works great as blow drying brush since it’s vented. I also use this Crown Affair comb everyday.

I love my Babyliss blowdryer. Does a great job and it’s a great price but I do have my eye on the Dyson supersonic hair dryer since that one is incredible (just a lot more expensive!)

With the new cut, I imagine I’ll be doing more of this straight hair style using my T3 straightening iron. I also have this curling iron that I’ll use for messier styling too!
