One of My Hair Secrets!



Some of my most frequently asked questions from blog followers are hair related. How I style it, what products I use and how do I protect my hair.

I have a lot of hair and for a really long time, I've taken advantage of my hair being thick and figured it was able to "take the heat". Over time, I started to realize the long term effects of hot tools and not giving your hair the nutrients and protection it needs. But, it's hard to find the exact shampoo, conditioner, and heat protectant that your hair needs on the first try, in the beauty aisle.

Reading shampoo ingredients, committing to a bottle, hoping it doesn't dry your hair out more. Being disappointed, starting all over again. Ugh! It can be so frustrating.

When Formulate reached out, I knew it could be worth a try. Formulate is shampoo and conditioner, made just for you! They craft every formula with one person in mind that's sulfate free, paraben free, dye free, preservation free, and cruelty-free. Their team of chemists utilize your traits and preferences to create the right shampoo for you. You begin your journey with a quiz. This allows you to share what your hair is like, and where you want it to go.

The quiz has you answer in-depth questions, but the survey takes maybe 5 minutes! I shared that wanted my formulas to protect hair color, hydrate, help protect my hair from heat, and help with oil control.

You even have a say in the scent! I personally like more earthy tones and I selected Verdant. What I like about the scent I picked is that it's powerful but not overbearing. It's light, which fits in with my style.

Since your formula is created just for you, it did take about a week a half for me to receive the product. I was comfortable throughout the process though because the Formulate team behind the products updates you every step of the way.



The product itself is very sleek. The bottles come with pumps already, another plus for me.

I've used Formulate's custom formula for about a month now and I can say that the results are evident! My hair definitely feels more nourished and softer! And I want to share this experience with you!

Formulate and I have teamed up to help one lucky winner transform their hair routine! Enter here for a chance to win your own custom Formulate shampoo! I think that knowing what goes into the products you use is important, and if it can be customized to fit your personal needs? All the better.
