The Ouai Scalp and Body Scrub will change your life!


But first things first - I need help with the proper pronunciation of the brand’s name: Is it “oui” or is it “way” or maybe neither? Who can help? Update: I decided to be smart and visit their website which cleared things up right away,,, It’s pronounced like “way” as in “It’s a Ouai of Life” 


A large jar of sugar crystal scalp and body scrub from Ouai


Now, to add to the chorus of praise for this  glorious jar of sugary goodness...


🤩 Smells divine - it’s called “Melrose Place” a dramatic rose scent, but I think it’s the white musk that I notice the most.


🤩 It’s a truly superb scalp scrub unlike any I’ve ever used. A few years ago I started trying out some scalps scrubs yet they just didn’t work out at all! But this one features a unique foaming scrub that lathers nicely and somehow easily spreads throughout my hair.


🤩 The probiotics in this formula really helps to balance my scalps natural biome! My often irritated scalp is left deep clean, perfectly exfoliated & refreshed!


🤩 A little goes a very long way since it magically lathers so effortlessly - I was pleasantly surprised by this because at first scoop it seems too thick & crunchy for hair/scalp. But alas, it is absolutely perfectly formulated for the scalp!!


I intended on using this just as a scalp scrub but then decided to try as a body scrub, I mean hey why not...and it’s phenomenal! A very spa-like scrub that makes my skin so unbelievably soft!!


Who loves this as much as I do??

Hair Treatments for clean scalp & gorgeous locks!

Goldilocks and the 3 (or more) Hair Treatments! 






Recently I’ve started feeling a bit like Goldilocks “this scalp treatment doesn’t wash out” “this one dries out my hair” “that one makes everything way worse”


Unfortunately, I have an irritated scalp + dry hair & damaged ends. So, I’ve been on the hunt for a good solution to all my hair woes.I’ve tried quite a few scalp treatments ranging from drugstore to luxury.


Included today are some of the “just right” treatments that have worked for me...


René Furterer: Astera Fresh pre-shampoo Concentrate. This is a truly decadent treatment from a legendary French brand which addresses sensitive or irritated scalps. The luxe formula, which comes in a fancy glass bottle ~ includes Asteracea extract to instantly calm & soothe. Comes with instructions on how to create a lovely spa-inspired scalp massage + special scalp massager tip which really makes it so easy to dispense without it dripping in the eyes!


Act+Acre: Cold Processed Scalp Detox

This is a luxurious vitamin rich oil treatment to cleanse & moisturize the scalp. A 1x/week treatment - just use a few drops per sectioned hair then gently massage into scalp & leave-in for 20 minutes for a truly nourished scalp. My scalp is always so relieved after this!


Olaplex No.0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment. Probably needs no introduction, it works beautifully with the Olaplex system to strengthen & repair dry hair. Makes my hair so soft & smooth!


Oribe Hair Care: Serene Scalp Soothing Leave-on Treatment. An instantly soothing formula that can be used on either dry or damp hair. Great for using at evening skincare routine.


Cult & King: Tonik Spray-in Conditioner & Scalp Potion. This is my “hometown” favorite created by local master stylist/salon owner Jared Briggs

~Ingredients like organic aloe, saw palmetto, green tea + salicylic acid & other botanicals were masterfully combined to create this herbal tonik. It’s ph4.5 works on scalp, hair, even beards to refresh & rejuvenate for the healthiest scalp/hair. Comes in a sleek, vintage inspired black glass bottle with eco-chic refills available!
