It’s a high-end salon-quality hair brand of shampoos, conditioners, treatments, and styling products at an unbelievable price point. Made with natural ingredients, completely free of sulfates, parabens, and they're cruelty-free. This brand is known for targeting whatever it’s in need of — hydration, volume, repair— Joann especially loves their rice water line, inspired by ancient Chinese hair rituals. It’s packed with vitamins and minerals to help strengthen, rebuild, and leave your hair looking strong and shiny. Shop online at lusetabeauty.com or find it on Amazon.

Try a Digital Detox 
Your mind needs care too. A simple digital detox can work wonders. Try not sleeping with your phone next to you and take regular breaks from screens during the day. Even a few unplugged moments can help you reset and recharge mentally.
