Simple Hair Care Tips for Smooth, Healthy Hair

by Katie Wallace | Updated: August 27, 2016

I’ll be honest. I don’t have much time to do my hair. With two toddlers and a baby, a quick glance in the mirror is a win most mornings. I try to do my makeup before leaving the house because it helps me feel put together. However, my hair usually ends up pulled back with a hair tie. That’s why I love finding low-effort products that actually work. Recently, I tried the Giovanni 2chic Ultra Repair line with blackberry and coconut milk, and it has made a noticeable difference. From taming frizz to strengthening strands, these products make it easy to care for my hair without adding extra stress to my morning routine. In addition to these products, I hope you enjoy my tips for smooth and healthy hair!

Giovanni 2chic Ultra Repair Blackberry and Coconut Milk tips for smooth and healthy hair

Smoothing Hair Serum

Initially, I discovered the Giovanni 2chic Ultra Repair Super Potion Hair Oil Serum was a game changer. It’s made with blackberry and coconut milk. I usually straighten my hair because my natural curl can look messy without much effort. Since heat styling can dry out hair, moisture is key for me. This serum goes on smoothly and never feels heavy. It tames frizz and flyaways right away. It also adds a soft, natural shine. On days I use it, my hair feels noticeably smoother and easier to manage.

Here are a few things I love about Giovanni 2chic hair care.

  • Repairs and renews vibrancy
  • Hydrates and seals each strand
  • Gently protects hair from damage
  • Eliminates frizz and is color safe
  • Lauryl & Lauretha sulfate free

Tip #1: A little serum goes a long way! Use a dab of this hair oil serum to smooth your hair and add a lightweight shine.

Nourishing Shampoo & Conditioner

Next, the Giovanni 2chic Ultra Repair Shampoo gently cleanses without harsh ingredients. It leaves my hair feeling clean but not stripped. The light scent from the blackberry and coconut milk is lovely. Coconut milk helps nourish hair and support strength and shine. It also smooths and supports natural oils, which makes a big difference for dry hair.

Tip #2: I wash my hair approximately every 3 days. Washing hair too often can dry it out and strip the natural oils.

Finally, the Giovanni 2chic Ultra Repair Conditioner completes the routine. After a few weeks of use, my hair felt stronger and softer. I also noticed fewer split ends, especially when paired with the hot oil treatment. As a busy mom, I need products that help maintain healthy hair without extra steps. Using a good quality conditioner such as Giovanni is one of my favorite tips for smooth and healthy hair!

Giovanni 2chic Ultra Repair Blackberry and Coconut Milk hair serum

Overall, Giovanni 2chic Ultra Repair shampoo, conditioner, and hair serum make it easy to care for my hair. Even with a full schedule, these products help smooth, strengthen, and revive tired strands. I’ve truly noticed the difference, especially on straightening days, and I love having a routine that works with my busy life.

Some homeschool days are smooth, others are hard. Some homeschool days are smooth, others are hard. ๐Ÿ˜Œ We try to appreciate the journey!

Confidence is built when kids learn to keep trying, even when itโ€™s frustrating. We remind our kids to take the first stepโ€ฆ and then the next. To us, progress matters more than perfection.

We believe diligence grows when our kids know theyโ€™re capable, and supported.

๐Ÿ™Œ We trust God with the growth, and we show up for the daily work.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Does anyone else have days where perseverance is the real lesson?

This homeschool semester started with the things our kids love most: focused learning, creative projects, and staying active. Right now that looks like basketball, cheer, and lots focused school days.

These home seasons matter. They give our kids space to build skills, explore interests, and settle into routines โ€” while we take a pause from exploring new places.

A lot of people ask if I miss traveling. Honestly, I donโ€™t right now. ๐Ÿ˜€โœจ Iโ€™m really enjoying this purposeful season of family life and growth. When the time feels right, weโ€™ll plan our next adventure. ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ
