The Weekly Haircare Ritual Everyone Should Try For A Great Hair Day

…I breastfeed my baby. My husband makes breakfast while she feeds and I snooze.

…but I still have my regular favorites, like Tata Harper’s Regenerating Cleanser, which I love. I’m a big serums girl and I really like the collaboration that Marie Veronique did with dermatologist Kristina Holey – the [products] don’t smell very nice, but they’ve transformed my skin. I finish with Vintner’s Daughter Active Botanical Serum, which is kind of oily, so it makes a good final coat.

I don’t know how to style my hair, but if it’s nourished and shiny then I feel there’s no need for styling! I love applying lots of Ceremonia’s Pequi Curl Activator – it’s a very light serum that gives a frizz-free, shiny finish. Even if you don’t have curls, it hydrates and enhances your natural hair pattern.

…is my ‘express facial’: I layer on Tata Harper’s Regenerating Cleanser with her Resurfacing Mask – it’s so powerful and gives an instant glow; I always do this if I have a photo shoot [coming up].

…the Verso Deep Hydration Mask when I’m flying. A cryo facial is so good for jet lag, and when I fly to New York I go to Next Health for the Whole Body Cryotherapy treatment.

I’m a complete beginner, but I’m getting into the groove of it. And I love Barry’s Bootcamp – it gives me an endorphin rush like nothing else; afterwards, I feel like Iron Woman! It’s like I have a superpower and I get so much more work done.

…plus 10 percent cheese or ice cream. I don’t drink coffee or alcohol and try to live a healthy life, but without too many rules. If I want dessert, I have it.

I grew up with immigrant parents in the projects and my husband empowered me to see life through a different lens. He always says, “What’s the worst thing that can happen?” We can be so scared of doing the one thing we’ve been dreaming of doing, but he’s shifted my mindset from minimizing risk to optimizing opportunity.

…begins with the Ceremonia Aceite de Moska oil and I use my Scalp Masajeador (massager) to work it in. It’s such a powerful ritual, as the massager helps the oil fully cleanse the scalp – if you have greasy roots, this actually helps to reduce that, too. I leave it to work overnight, then shampoo the next morning, adding a couple of drops of oil to my conditioner for an extra hydration boost. Oil is so great for the hair: you can use a few drops on dry ends or add it to your conditioner, so it becomes a mask – people use our oil on their eyebrows, as it’s also great for growth.

…then use Verso Micellar Water to prep the skin to better absorb what’s coming next. It’s something I learnt later in life, but face mists help you get better results from your products. If I have time, I use my NuFace device, too – I love it. For day, I prefer serums and an oil, but at night I always add in The Chill Cream from Mantle or the Active Restorative Moisturizing Cream from Circumference – it’s so light, it’s like a soufflé.

We could never afford to pay for a treatment, so she would make masks and do all our beauty rituals at home, while my dad would cut our hair. Now, my friends and my mom come over and we mask together and hang out.

My quick fix for looking more put together is a deep red lip from La Bouche Rouge – I also love its Sérum Noir Mascara.

…is from my mom. She always says it doesn’t matter what you wear as long as your face and body are clean and moisturized; nothing looks better than healthy, nourished skin!

…I take CBD tinctures, but not while nursing.

…I have a book, The Nue Co. Magnesium Ease spray for relaxation, a silk eye mask and a big bottle of water – l drink half a liter first thing.
