15 Haircare Staples for Silky Strands + My Clover + Anise Makeup Collaboration

One of the questions I receive most often from readers and friends is about my haircare routine. Healthy, glossy strands are always a work in progress, and through much trial and error, I’ve discovered products that not only nourish my hair but also elevate the entire experience of caring for it. Today, I’m thrilled to share my 15 favorite products for silky, healthy hair along with a closer look at my new Clover + Anise makeup collaboration with Au Naturale, just in time for spring.

Everyday Style & Beauty Staples

Before we dive into haircare, I want to highlight a few of my current wardrobe and makeup essentials that have been on constant rotation:

  • Style favorites: the One-Size-Fits-Most Bra 2.0, a buttery Lilysilk silk blouse (I wear a medium), classic Frame Le Original jeans, and Dior Dad Sandals for a balance of polish and comfort.
  • Makeup loves: Kosas Revealer Foundation in 280, Clé de Peau Beauté Concealer in Buff, Sisley Sun Gel Bronzer, EM Cosmetics blush in Baroque, Divine Skies Palette in Rodin, and the Lawless One and Done Mascara. For brows, I’ve been reaching for REFY Brow Gel, while Le Metier de Beaute Liquid Liner adds definition. And of course, my very own Beauty Professor x Au Naturale Clover + Anise collection has become the finishing touch.

15 Products That Keep My Hair Silky & Strong

Now, onto the heart of this post—my tried-and-true haircare lineup. Each of these plays a distinct role in keeping my hair nourished, manageable, and radiant.

  1. LILYSILK Silk Pillowcases – The secret to reducing friction, minimizing breakage, and adding a touch of luxury to sleep.
  2. OUAI Detox Shampoo – My go-to for resetting hair and scalp after styling products or environmental buildup.
  3. Oribe Hair Alchemy Collection – A strengthening system that makes fragile strands feel resilient.
  4. 3 More Inches Volumizing Shampoo & Conditioner – Packed with proteins that add bounce and volume without weighing hair down.
  5. T3 Hot Rollers – For effortless waves and long-lasting volume on days I want more polish.
  6. Agent Nateur x Dara Kaye Holi Locks – A restorative treatment oil that feels like self-care in a bottle.
  7. Agent Nateur x Dara Kaye Holi Silk Peptides – A boost of nutrition for hair health from within.
  8. Augustinus Bader The Hair Oil – Lightweight yet transformative, it seals in shine while taming frizz.
  9. Hair Rituel by Sisley La Creme 230 – My favorite pre-heat styling protector, a must-have for keeping strands safe.
  10. Ranavat Mighty Majesty – A luxurious hair oiling ritual, now conveniently available at Sephora.
  11. Agent Nateur Holi Mane – Another powerhouse supplement for healthy, resilient hair.
  12. Nutrafol – A clinically backed favorite for promoting growth and density.

  14. Mason Pearson Pocket Brush – A timeless brush that distributes oils beautifully for natural shine.
  15. VIVIYA Scalp Massager – Stimulates circulation and turns washing into a mini spa ritual.

Each of these has earned its place in my rotation, and together, they create a routine that makes my hair feel pampered and polished.

Clover + Anise: My Spring Makeup Collaboration

Alongside haircare, I’m overjoyed to share my latest project: the Clover + Anise collection, a collaboration with Au Naturale that blends thoughtful color with versatile wear.

  • Clover Pencil: A richly complex neutral that works beautifully on both lips and eyes. It’s an unexpected mix of brown, nude, plum, and pink with a hint of glow. I love smudging it along the lower lash line for a soft smokiness or using it to subtly define my lips. It’s the perfect shade to “cheat out” your lip line without ever looking obvious.
  • Anise Su/Stain: A cool pink with mauve undertones that feels timeless and modern all at once. The luminous, moisturizing formula delivers all-day wear and doubles as a multitasker—you can dab it on eyes and cheeks for a monochromatic look that ties everything together.

The response so far has been overwhelming in the best way. People of all ages and skin tones have shared how much they love this pairing, and that was exactly my vision: to create shades that felt unique yet universally flattering, filling a gap in beauty collections while offering endless versatility.

Bottom Line

Between a carefully curated lineup of haircare essentials and the launch of Clover + Anise, this season has been full of beauty discoveries I’m deeply excited about. Healthy hair and thoughtful makeup truly go hand-in-hand—both make us feel polished, confident, and ready to face the world.

I hope this round-up inspires you to refresh your routine, whether by trying a silk pillowcase, nourishing your scalp, or experimenting with new spring shades. As always, I’d love to hear what caught your eye.

Good things are on the horizon—more tutorials, a foundation spotlight, an office tour, and plenty of new product discoveries.

Stay strong, seek wisdom, much love, and more soon.
