In paid partnership with Pantene
Growing up with two sisters means sharing a beauty routine since childhood. I remember standing on our little step stools in our bathroom, brushing our wet hair out the shower and running to our mom to have her “add her magic touch”. She would love to braid all of our hair, right out of the shower with a small dose of moisturizer to maintain its natural health & style right before school the next day. One of her biggest concerns was using heat products that could possibly over burn our hair, and she always tried to make use of natural ways to add waves or to straighten our hair with natural products. Til’ this day, she still calls me when I’m straightening my hair to make sure I’m not applying heat “too long!”.
As I’ve grown older, I’ve loved experimenting with what does and doesn’t work for my hair. Although it may be covered with a headscarf in public settings, hair care is so important to me (and so many girls alike!). I’ve teamed up with Pantene to introduce their latest Shampoo and Conditioner as part of their Nutrient Blends Collection, made to soothe and hydrate dry and brittle hair and help maintain its natural oils.
Natural ingredients have always been important in my family’s “hairitage”, and this collection is free of sulfates, parabens, dyes and mineral oil. I especially love that the collection is made of Rose Water, which is a Syrian household staple. I use it in desserts, facial toners, cleansers, infusers, and now my haircare! It’s known for its hydrating and soothing benefits, not to mention its heavenly smell.
Years later, I still find myself having the same post-shower routine. After using the shampoo and conditioner, I like to braid my hair and let the natural ingredients soak in so my hair can form into its natural waves. Some things never really change :)
Much love,
