Anything that makes 5 day hair look like freshly washed perfectly blown out hair is my kinda thing 💁🏼‍♀️ @kristin_ess you out did yourself with this line with @target and I’m crushing on it BIG TIME. (Ps all my favs. Are linked on my website & the @liketoknow.it app)

Ok from left to right lemme tell you why I use each & why I love them
1. Dry shampoo: I mean come on, honestly I wash my hair once per week (YUP🙈) soooo cutting the grease & adding in some volume is everything & this does it perfectly while also smelling amazing
2.Blow dry mist: I shared this with you in stories a few days ago, it cuts dry time in half (5 mins in total for me) & makes your hair silky smooth!
3. Dry conditioner: Did I mention that I wash my hair once per week?? 🙊 this stuff has been LIFE CHANGING...I’m one to blow dry, beach wave & then continue redoing the beach waves each day...this makes your hair silky & soft like you just blow dried ✨ it’s magic in a bottle!
4. Loose styling powder: this little baby is a braids bestie...back when I had long hair, I would create the braid, tie it off, sprinkle a little on top of the braid & pull it apart to give it that Pinterest worthy thickened look...it’s seriously amazing if you have thin hair like me 💃🏼!

Hope this helped explain my fav @kristin_ess products and why they’re truly the bomb (not this is not sponsored, just true love from a girl that washes her hair once a week!) #kristinessfortarget #kristiness #haircare
