I tried the new All Hours Foundation from YSL Beauté and I’m in love yall 🥰 It’s full coverage yet lightweight plus it has #hyaluronicacid in it.
Hyaluronic (pronounced hi-ah-lew-ron-ic) Acid — also known as hyaluronan or hyaluronate — is a gooey, slippery substance that your body produces naturally. Scientists have found hyaluronic acid throughout the body, especially in eyes, joints and skin. (Source)
Hyaluronic Acid helps keep your skin smooth and hydrated – (which means less wrinkles & other signs of aging!)
Makeup meets #skincare is right up my alley! They’ve got 40 shades and supposedly it lasts 24 hours 👀 I never need to wear makeup that long but hey, maybe some of y’all do 😂💕 Have you tried this #foundation out yet?!
If you didn’t think it was possible, you’re about to change your mind for good.
Let me put you on to the best-kept secret in my natural hair journey: ROLLER SETS.
Yes, I said it. Roller. Sets.
If you’ve ever wondered how I keep my hair healthy, full, and still enjoy the versatility of straight styles—this is it. No magic potion. No expensive blowouts. Just a good ol’ wet set on rollers.
Let’s back up a second.
My hair is natural, and when I do a wash & go, you’ll see all my curls out and proud. But when I want to wear it in a straighter style? I reach for my rollers. And honestly, I do this 80% of the time when I want a sleeker look.
It gives me body. It gives me movement. It gives me life.
And the best part? No direct heat. No flat irons sizzling at 450 degrees. No blow dryers tugging at my roots. Just a classic technique that lets my hair stretch and flow while keeping it strong and thriving.
This might sound simple, but trust me—this was a game changer.
I used to chase every trend, every serum, every “miracle” product, and still struggled with breakage, split ends, and overall dryness. But ever since I committed to wet setting my hair and giving it the gentle love it needs, I’ve noticed a major shift.
✨ This is the healthiest my hair has ever been. ✨
And I don’t gatekeep. So if you’re trying to figure out how to keep your natural hair healthy and still switch up your style from time to time, roller sets might just be your new best friend.
I’m planning to break down my exact roller set routine in a future post—products, tools, drying methods, the whole nine. Let me know if that’s something you want to see!
Until then, just know: You don’t have to fry your hair to stretch it. You don’t have to sacrifice health for style. You can have both.

Ya know, I just don’t know how to do things basically lol

Okay sis, here’s the deal. We know flat irons on high heat due damage, but did you know that blow dryer can do damage, too?!
The foundation of a goooood silk press requires a gooood blow dry, and often that required the use of tension & high heat. Combine that with the flat iron on high too – bye, bye curl pattern!
When it comes to roller sets – we are in a new era! The roller set isn’t just a styling method, it’s a stretching method. If you think about it this way, it essentially removes the high heat & tension of the blow dry process AND the need for the flat iron to be on high heat (with multiple passes) on the flat iron (if you even choose to do that step! You can always skip it with a good roller set) because when you sit under a hooded dryer – the heat is not directly hitting your hair. Plus, the rollers sustain consistent tension all around so your hair isn’t prone to breakage. Yes, it takes a little longer BUT your hair will love you for it!l
Pro tip: when purchasing a hooded dryer, get one that is at least. 1875 watts or higher!
