I some fun college lifestyle, beauty, videos and say I want to show you guys all of the products that I use in my hair care routine as a competitive swimmer and just someone who spends a ton of time outside in the ocean. The river the lake I'm outside in the water all the time - and I want to talk to you guys about all the products. I'Ve helped me keep my hair super healthy and allowed it to grow so yeah. You guys want to see that make sure and watch today's video, if you guys want to see more of me, make sure to subscribe down below and if you liked today's video don't forget to give it a thumbs up. So let's go ahead and jump into today's video, hey guys. So a little background on me. I have just been in love with the sport of swimming. Since I was about 6 years old, I've joined my neighborhood summer league team, and then I joined my club team and then high school, and now I do my college club team. I just have absolutely loved it. I all through high school and intermediate, and even some points in elementary. I would be in the pool about 2 to even 4 hours a day doing two-a-days, I, like my hair, has been through. The wringer like swimming, is one of the hardest sports on your hair. In your skin, so these are just products that I 100 % love and swear by that have just helped me keep my hair as healthy as possible, especially with I live in a community that is very water based like we have a boat. We live right next to the lake and then my college is literally on a river and I'm always out swimming in the river, and my club team even does River practices, so I'm just always in the water always in the Sun. So my hair has been through the ringer, and these are just products that I love, so I'm going to show you and I hope that you guys will love too. I want this video to be really informative and really helpful, so yeah um, my first products is they're a little new on the market, but I love them so far. I'Ve been using member a couple weeks, maybe about a month now. This is the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Army sure is pronounced Hoya, but it's J, OH isn't like a.j and agent. Spanish, I'm not sure um feel free to correct me in the comments nicely because I don't know, but these are what they look like and they're amazing. I love them. This is the shampoo and conditioner. They are a little pricey. So a alternative for this that I used all through high school was the FERC. I shampoo and conditioner I'll make sure I link them down below and you can get those on Amazon and I believe at Target this you can get at Sephora. I love it, they smell so good. This is the brand that did the like, literally worldwide famous, like Brazilian bumbum cream, and they have the terrassa Shiro. So I believe it's a candle, that's like super famous, I love it. I have their perfume and it smells just like it's amazing. It smells so good. I love it. This stuff is super nourishing. I'Ve definitely noticed my hair feels so soft when I use it when I get out of the shower it's so soft, especially or if I'm taking a bath, and I want to let the conditioner sit for a while amazing. I love it. I highly recommend, but I do understand it's pricey, so it also will link alternatives down below love it and cannot say enough. Good things about this, and my next product is the this is the alternate Kenda oil dry oil mist? This is the ultimate frizz control throughout swimming and just being always in the water. I noticed my hair would start to get breakage and start should just kind of break apart, and I get so many split ends and especially like in the peak of like swim season and stuff, just being in the pool like doing two days and dry lands. And just always, but being in chlorine, my hair was so damaged and this helped so much. This is much more of like a kind of looks like products, not so much as a like nourishing kind of situation. This is really good if you have dry, hair and you're going to either heat style, it or you're, going to put it just up in a bun just being out and about it, helps tame flyaways on another level. It'S amazing, it is so good. It is a dry oil, so I really recommend using this with dry hair. It is really good. I love it clearly. There is so much gone out of this bottle, but and it's free of parabens and synthetic synthetic color. So if you have like blonde hair, it's not gon na, like tint it or anything, or if you have black hair, it's not gon na show up like white in your hair. It'S amazing! This is really good, but this is definitely more of like a aesthetics product, but I really like it and then a oil that is very nourishing. This is the Sephora coconut oil. You can get any sort of coconut oil um. I just really like this one because of the applicator I like how you can just just go this and put it straight in your roots. It'S amazing! I love coconut oil for my hair for my skin. I'Ve been using this since, like I got home from the orphanage and India, like my mom, has just been literally having me use this since forever. I love it. It'S amazing um cannot say enough good things about coconut oil. I just really like this one because of the applicator, but you can get any brand. One thing I do have to say use this before you go to bed, do not put coconut oil all over your body and then try and go out and about unless, like you're taking Instagram pics cuz they're gon na look like a real greasy, so um. I really recommend using this. What I would do is, I would put it in my hair, like, after my latest practice of the day, whether it's like a night practice or if you just have a morning practice whatever you have put it at the end of your hair, and then I put It all over my body as well and then sometimes even if I noticed my hair was sometimes start to itch and things like that or, like my roots, would with Ashley being tied up in a swim cap. It can be really uncomfortable and I can pull out your hair so with this applicator love it. You can just go like this. Put it straight in your roots. It'S amazing and brush your hair out really well and then sleep and then, when you wake up, if you have morning practice, this is fine like it's not go. My hair capsule offer anything. So it's great and you can just leave it in and then just go about your business and wash your hair after practice or if you don't have anything in that morning like if you have school or something the next day. If you only have night practices shower, because it can look a little greasy, but this is so nourishing so amazing literally people have been using coconut oil for like forever it's great and then just make sure you use it at night. So you don't look oily or greasy going out, but it's great. I love it and I have one of these in my swim bag and I would have one like in my shower they're just awesome so cannot say enough good things with brushing your hair. I have two main things that I use. This is the it's by macadamia, the natural oil. I believe I got it with one of their hair oils a while ago, but this is just a Y toothed comb. I have, as you can tell very, like wavy like a little bit of like slight curls, it's more just very, very, very intense waves, my hair, and so this can be a little frustrating to you, sometimes just because my hair will literally start to matte. So bad like walking, go to a hairdresser get out, it gets real bad, sometimes so use like. I would really recommend getting in their routine of using this. It'S gon na be a little fresh drink. It'S gon na take a while to brush out your hair, but it prevents breakage and it just helps you not rip so much hair out. It'S great. I love it um this I would use after coconut oil or I would leave it in my shower because I like to brush my hair before I get in the shower and then right when I get out and then with being a swimmer, I would brush my Hair before I put it in a swim cap, I've noticed I didn't really start doing that until high school, but I noticed it helped so much with preventing breakage in my hair and preventing just like it getting super matted and like just kind of like gross like When I would take it out of this one cap, it helped so much so um if you are about to go swimming brush your hair before and then right when you get out before you go eat dinner or something it's literally going to change your life. It'S a maze, so love this and then my all-time favorite, my precious is my wet brush. I love this. I recommend this to literally everyone whether you are a swimmer, whether you barely touch the water. This is amazing, like everyone can use this. I highly recommend. I'M sorry mine's a little gross. Clearly I love it like the labels. You can pull me off. Um I've been using a wet brush, I'm for a couple years now I've been using them since, like I think, very sort of high school, I love them. They'Re amazing. I recommend getting a new one around every year year and a half just because they will start to get a little gross, but it's so good. It'S just fantastic because it doesn't rip out your hair super bad, it's not as good as the Y tooth comb. But if you are someone who's in a rush or does not have time to brush your hair or just like does not have that level of patience, which is normally me most of the time. This is amazing. It'S great um! I love using this. Just as like my everyday brush too, I use it as a everyday brush and when my hair is wet and I have one of my swim bag, I have one at my house at home, one at my apartment in college. They'Re. Amazing. I love them. I just never want to be without it like caught in a situation where I wet hair, and I'm like I need to brush that it's looking real gross. This is amazing, love. It cannot say enough good things. I really really recommend this is you can get at like CVS, Walgreens Target Walmart they're very inexpensive, so I really recommend them and everything. I'Ve said this, but every product that I've talked about will be linked down below and if it's sold out I'll, try and link the next best thing down below next. This is goes along with the pressure in your hair. This is the Amika, the wizard to tangling primer. This is really good um. I love it to use before I brush up my hair. If I'm having a day where it's extra tingly, it's great, as you can tell you, can like there's not enough, not not a lot left in here, I use it all the time it's great. This is also really good if you are having to brush your hair, like even when it's dry and it's looking kind of tangley. This is great. I'Ve always been a huge fan of this Hangul era. When I was little, I would use the swab one. The one look like the little animals on it um. I love this. It'S really good. The you can also use it before you eat style, your hair, but I primarily use it just to detangle my hair. So it's amazing. I love it, and one thing I really like is you: can lock the? What is this? I guess like the sprayer, you can lock it so then you can travel with it like when you take it to swim needs or, if you're, just taking it to like a sleepover or something amazing love it. My last product is also by mica. This is called the curled corpse defining cream eye, as you can tell have naturally very wavy hair. This is my natural hair, and, if I put this in after I go swimming or something my hair will literally be like almost ringlets like curls, it's definitely defines whatever sort of wave or curl you have in your hair. It smells like it smells like this product like pretty much just like very bluesy hair carrot smells really good. I like it um it's. I don't know it's 200 milliliters or 6.7 fluid ounces um. So it's definitely a lot in here. I know this product can be a little pricier, but I like it. It'S definitely really helped with like kind of having, like the whole, really nice beach wave curly hair look, but I would primarily use this when I would get out of the pool and have to go, do something I either have to go to dinner or go grab Lunch or even when you get out of the shower, if you want to have a curly hair day, this is what to use it's amazing. It smells really good. It'S really hydrating. I love it. So this is my last product that I have and I'll make sure I link everything down below some things. I just have to say about um. Haircare is make sure that you are getting trends at least once or twice a year. I would get my hair cut. Pretty much between every swim season, I'm have like that, like typical stereotype and being girl hair that grows very fast, and I would pretty much cut almost six to eight inches off each time. My hair grows extremely fast, but it would be so damaged and I didn't realize it or maybe like my mom, would make a few comments, but I myself was like oh, like it's not breaking off, it's not damaged, but now looking at it. I recently have cut around eight, almost ten inches off my hair at the start of quarantine. Before everything shut down, I went and got my hair cut and I've noticed such a difference just having fresh hair, and it took me a couple of years like once. I got older to realize, like you need to cut your hair and it sucks, because I'm someone who loves to have like that long, mermaid, hair, look but cutting your hair. Just a couple. Trends like once or twice a year really made a difference with my hair, and I think just having it look a lot healthier and with being a swimmer having super long and like as you until I'm very thick hair being in a swim. Cap was a lot and it would just be a lot to put up in a swim cap, and it would give me a headache sometimes so I'm not saying you have to have short hair, but just making sure you're staying on top of it and keeping your Hair, nice and healthy and making sure you're cutting off the split ends is really gon na help, and I know I have had color here in the past. I love color in my hair. I think it's so fun, but if you can avoid dyeing your hair or dyeing it like often that can really help with lack of damage and um heat. I try and only put heat on my hair about once a week, maybe twice because being in a sorority. I do have events quite often, and I like to have my hair heat styled for those, but if you can't avoid that as much as possible, it's really gon na help, especially with the combination of you know, on your hair and chlorine or ocean water can get Really intense so yeah, I hope these products are all super helpful and I hope that you guys are able to get some of these.
