Hi, I'm Sara and you could say I'm obsessed with healthy hair. Welcome to the haircare tips hotspot where I'll share all the insider tips, tricks and all the necessities you need to get there too!
My Hair + Beauty Favorites: The Products I Actually Use and Recommend
Hello beautiful,
I’m asked about products all the time from what I use on my own hair, what I keep in my bathroom, what tools are actually worth buying, and which little beauty finds make life easier.
So, I decided to start sharing them all in one place.
This is not going to be a list of every trendy product on the internet. These are products I personally use, genuinely love, or confidently recommend based on my experience behind the chair.
Some are professional haircare favorites, some are simple Amazon finds, and some are just things that have earned a permanent place in my routine.
My Favorite Detangling Hairbrush
Olivia Garden Detangling Brush
I love this brush because It's great for all hair types and textures, is SUPER gentle and comes apart for easy cleaning.
This is especially helpful for anyone with long hair that tangles easily.
My honest advice: even the best brush can cause damage when it is used too aggressively. Start at the ends, work your way upward, and take your time.
The Hair Ties I Reach for Most
Kitch No Damage Hair Ties
These are the hair ties I reach for when I want my hair up without feeling like I am putting unnecessary tension on it.
They are great for workouts, sleeping, messy buns, fine hair, thick hair, etc., and I use them for myself and my daughter.
No hair tie is completely damage proof, so keep those ponytails light in tension so the hair isn't too stressed.
My Favorite Curling Iron
Bioionic Long Barrel Curling Iron
I use and recommend this because with my long hair, the elongated barrel makes curling my hair super fast and easy.
The most important thing to remember with any hot tool is turn the heat down. Most people do not need to use the maximum temperature.
Use a heat protectant, work in clean sections, and avoid repeatedly passing over the same piece of hair, turn the heat to the lowest effective setting and protect it form that heat... which leads me to my next topic..
My Go-To Thermal Protection Product
Leave in Detangle Conditioner
Great hair doesn't always start in the shower. This lightweight leave-in conditioner works on wet or dry hair to nourish, smooth, and detangle in one step. Inspired by the richness of silk Gazar fabric, Abyssinian seed and organic argan oils deliver serious moisture and anti-frizz control without weighing hair down. Bonus- protect, nourish and defrizz all in one simple step.
The only Round Brush You'll Ever Need
ERGO Super Gentle Round Brush
This one is 100% necessary for anyone with fine, highlighted or damaged hair... which lets face it, is ALL of us!
I love them because they do not add unnecessary tension to the hair, but still deliver a smooth frizz free blowdry with ease.
I always appreciate recommendations from people I trust, so I want this blog to feel like the same kind of honest conversation. You'll notice I use these products inside the suite or at home on myself and my daughter. Have questions or ideas for future recommendations? email me here: sara@saraogrady.com
A Quick Note About My Recommendations
Everyone’s hair, skin, lifestyle, and budget are different. A product that works beautifully for me may not be the perfect option for every person.
I will always do my best to explain why I like something, who I think it is best suited for, and any limitations you should know before purchasing.

Thank you for trusting my recommendations and for being here.
With love,
Sara
