With quarantine giving us all the time in the world now, I’ve been able to play with my favorite hair masks and hair styling products to achieve the ultimate shiny luster and healthy look for your hair! Not all these products are necessary to use each time, especially if you’re looking for a quick fix — but I’ll walk you through my step by step process and let you know how each product benefits me.
There are two hair oils I love and they each offer an amazing benefit.
Hemp Hair Oil: I’ve noticed every time I use this oil and shampoo afterwards, my hair feels thicker and more voluminous. I recommend leaving it on at least overnight.
Z’NON Hair Oil: I love this oil especially for the scalp. It strengthens my hair with essential oils, takes care of an itchy scalp and also softens my hair. It also increases your hair growth, it definitely worked for my husband!
There’s 3 hair masks that I love to use. I’ll name my top two favorites first:
Gisou Hair Mask: I like to use this creamy mask because one: it smells amazing and perfect to pair with the Gisou Shampoo and Conditioner; two: it creates such voluminous and fluffy hair, without weighing it down. I absolutely love it!
Keratin & Argan Oil Conditioner: Instead of a conditioner, I replace it with this hair mask that I found on Amazon. It seriously thickens my hair beautifully and gives it the best shine. I really don’t need to use many products when I use this mask.
Rose Clay Volumizing Shampoo Paste: Instead of using shampoo, I replace it with this amazing product by Christophe Robin. It’s a great scalp rub, smells great and best benefit of all makes my hair extremely voluminous and bouncy.
Olaplex Hair Perfector No. 3: Before I shampoo my hair, if my hair feels really brittle and weak I’ll go ahead and use this mask to strengthen the ends and make it look a little healthier. It does take away from any volume, so I like to use this mask either two priors or day before.
Gisou Shampoo: All Gisou products smell the best and they’re clean products to use for your hair so I will always recommend their hair line. I love the shampoo and conditioner duo the most because it makes my hair volumized and looks like I got a blow-dry without necessarily having to blow dry! I use it when I’m expecting to dress up that day or day prior. It takes me about 3-4 pumps to gently cover and rinse through my long hair.
Gisou Conditioner: The conditioner is so creamy and spreads so well on your ends. It really softens your hair and of course works perfectly with the shampoo. Once again, I’m obsessed with the scent. I use a quarter size drop to go over all my ends.
Argan Coco Shampoo: I love using this shampoo on my bum days, because it keeps my hair very healthy, strong and shiny. Even with a clean product, it’s very easy to lather all over. I love how the perfect blend of argan oil and coconut oil works really well for my hair. My son and husband have more textured and wavy hair and they love using this shampoo and conditioner as well. Use MARIAMSHIBLY for 70% off your purchase.
Argan Coco Conditioner: This conditioner easily detangles, softens and adds a shine to your hair. It keeps my hair thick and healthy. I apply it to my ends and you don’t need a lot of product.Use MARIAMSHIBLY for 70% off your purchase.
There are a handful of styling products that I like to use depending on the look that I am going for. I’ll name my constant go-tos first and explain the benefit of each.
Moroccan Oil Blow Dry Serum: I love the way it gives me a salon blow-dry look. One pump is plenty to rub on your ends and gently through the middle of your scalp.
Marajo Anti-Frizz Serum: If I’m washing my hair and styling it the same day, I will definitely use one pump of this on the top of my scalp and run it through my hair with my fingers to eliminate as much frizz as possible. Unfortunately this brand no longer exists (if you find it otherwise, please let me know!)
Oribe Hair Color Enhancer: I use 1-2 drops of this to bring out the best color in my hair. It really does make your hair color a lot more appealing and less dull. I also love the way it smells!
ColorWOW Hair Dream Coat: I only use this product before a big weekend filled with events or if I’m really targeting shine in my hair. It only works if you’re planning on blow-drying your hair after!
These are the products that I constantly use and I don’t need to use much product of:
Gisou Hair Oil: After I do any hair style, I’ll run through Gisou Oil through my ends, hairs or gently through my curls to tame any stray hairs, give it a nice healthy and bouncy look.
Ouai Finishing Cream: I use a pea size drop to tame the fly-aways on the top of my head or gather my ends to make them look a bit more put together. If I’m going for a sleek look, then I like to use more of this product to keep my hair in place and for that “wet” appearance.
Gisou Wave Spray: If I’m looking for more textured and bouncy curls or even day-old curls, I like to freshen it up and add a little edge by spraying this on the ends of my curls and then I comb through the curls after.
Oribe Hair Shine Spray: I haven’t used this spray in a while, but if I don’t happen to go through my shower perfect hair care routine, then I’ll spray a little of this and run it through with my fingers to give it an extra lustrous hair that I’m looking for.
Gisou Hair Perfume: To top off your hair and this is my favorite product asides from the shampoo & conditioner because it keeps your hair smelling BEAUTIFUL for a long time. You only need 2 spritz through your hair. You will love it.
Please note that this is not a sponsored note by any of the brands. It is my honest and true opinion #LTK
The only way to feel normal these days is through makeup and hair. It’s hard enough to feel like yourself when you’ve got a beautiful baby on the way, but totally swelling up. I like to increase my contour and here’s how I achieve the look below. This is not a sponsored post and I’ve linked everything I use below #LTK.

I’ve tried many different beauty products for highlighters such as Becca Cosmetics, Nude Stix, and Cover Fx. They all provide a shiny highlight of course, but they didn’t blend into my skin as well making it an obvious layer of highlight. Nude Stix is probably my second favorite compared to the Dior Backstage Universal Glow Palette.
Why do I love this palette so much? It’s been my consistent go-to highlight for the past year or so because:
It flawlessly blends into my skin
The highlight shine looks more of a natural glow rather than a shine
all 4 colors provided can be used beautifully together or separate
the pink works beautifully for a soft, glowy bright pink blush
the darker brown works great as a bronzer and a shine
the light brown is what I use the most for every look of mine, the highlight to add on top of my cheeks and the bridge of my nose
the white is perfect to add for an extra glow in the inner corner of your eye, brow line, the nose of your bridge or to combine with the light brown as a 3D pop of highlight
There are few brands that I am completely impressed with their product line. I have to share an miraculous brand that I’ve come across, which is actually a small business. A young mother based in Texas, started her research and journey into finding an effective skincare line for South Asian skin. I reached out to her because I heard so many good reviews, and I was gifted my first package last year. I’ve fallen in love since. I’ve repurchased her products multiple times now and in fact, I purchase her products as soon as they’re back in stock because they sell out fast and are unavailable for quite some time. The best part about this line is that it’s natural and effective. I’ve seen such tremendous progress to my skin, a contributing factor to my flawless skin is Z’NON Skincare.
The Botanical Face Wash: I started off using this face wash only before bed and now I’ve worked it into my daily routine twice a day. It is an amazing, gentle and brightening exfoliating face-wash. I recommend using this on the daily to contribute to brightening, improving discoloration and even skin-tone, and preventing break-outs. The only time I don’t use this facewash is after a professional skin treatment such as chemical peel or microdermabrasion.
The Youth Oil: This skincare’s number one bestseller and always the first to sell out. It works wonders for most skin-types, especially dry skin. It’s hydrating, aids in anti-aging as well as provides my skin with such a healthy glow. You need a few drops to dab all over your face and I love using this twice a day, if I’m not running out.
The Vitamin C’erum: I love this vitamin C serum for bedtime. I can feel it tightening my skin almost immediately. It’s amazing to cure break-outs overnight. It also contributes in improving discoloration, improving your skin-tone and a flawless glow. Because my skin is on the drier side, whenever I use this seurm I like to follow it up with Youth Oil and my Eminence Organics Bamboo & Guava Age Defying moisturizer to provide some heavy duty hydration.
Immortelle Fade Serum: (no longer available, she’s combined it with the new Vitamin C’erum) This product has an expiration date, which truly shows how effective this product can be in it’s time period. Potent chemicals have a limited time period, so use it as much as you can when you purchase it (I believe it lasts upto a year or less). It works amazing for removing acne scars or pigmentation, allowing new skin to regrow. Because it is more of a drying serum, I am unable to use it as often as I like. I like to pair it with nights that I am not using the Vitamin C’erum and pair it with Youth Oil along with my moisturizer.
Youth Vitamin Serum: This is an AM Vitamin C serum, which has already made a huge difference on my skin. It’s best to be paired with a brightening agent like her Brightening Toner or sometimes I alternate using Sunday Riley’s Good Genes lactic acid treatment. I’ve used other Vitamin C serums such as skinceuticals, but this has proven to be much more effective and a lot less expensive.
Brightening Toner: To be used after you cleanse your face. It helps absorb product better as well as brightens and moisturizes your face. You can apply it on top of makeup to help freshen your look. I use it mostly for after cleansing my face or after I’ve taken off my makeup.
Silk Moisturizer: A lightweight moisturizing gel that awakens and plumps your skin. It smells amazing and is a perfect moisturizer for oily skin types. Because my skin type is so dry, I love using this in the summer or to awaken my skin before I put on makeup.
Regenerative Oil Face Mask: One of the best products she’s come out with. It’s amazing to use alone, I love to leave it on after I apply my serums. I’ve recently used it as a mask and used it with her clay Sahara scrub and it’s made my skin baby soft and smooth. I mostly love it for its hydration purposes and it’s long lasting when I pair it with the Regenerative moisturizer.
Regenerative Moisturizer: It’s a silky hydrating gel that is great for long lasting hydration. It’s basically a heavier version of the Silk moisturizer, which is exactly what my skin needs. I had to pile on moisturizers in the past, but with this I don’t need to at all. I love adding it on after the Regenerative face mask or Youth Oil to enhance the moisture. It also smells amazing.
Lash Serum: This serum has evidently made my lashes thicker. It’s even filled in the missing spots on my lash line, which Latisse wasn’t able to do. It’s better than Latisse for the fraction of the price.
Sahara Clay Scrub: The most hydrating clay scrub you can use. With dry skin I find most clay scrubs difficult, but not this one. It’s a great way to even the texture on your skin and add a little extra exfoliation without drying yourself out. I like to use it once a week and recently paired it with the Regenerative face mask and my skin is glowing!

Before I jump into how much I LOVE my experience with Luxe Laser Beauty Spa, I need to give you my history with laser hair removal in general. I have been trying laser treatments since when it first came out in 2006-2008 and continued to try with different lasers all the way 2012, then I gave up. I never had a great experience with any of the lasers I tried. They used to offer 'permanent' solutions and later on they corrected themselves by stating it's simply a hair 'reduction'. Most of these lasers were IPL or the laser intensive that worked better with lighter hair color or lighter skin tone. My laser experience has completely CHANGED with Luxe Laser Beauty Spa (who will also donate 20% of your payment towards Syria if you mention Mariam Shibly). Barely any hair growth within the first treatment, no ingrowns, no mess, and best part no pain! BUY 6 TREATMENTS AND GET 2 FREE -- very reasonable pricing and so worth it.
I went back to waxing and was hesitant to try laser again up until recently (2017) when I found out about Luxe Laser Beauty and Spa. Trust me, I would not be raving about this if I wanted to waste your time and money. I truly believe this is a permanent solution! Luxe Laser Beauty Spa uses the GentlePro Laser, which works fantastically with darker coarser hair and Asian/Middle Eastern skintone. It really felt like this laser was meant for me! I truly recommend you give them a try especially if you've had the worst of experiences. Better yet, don't forget to mention MARIAM SHIBLY to have 15% of your payment be donated to Syria through Karam Foundation! This laser requires NO gel, NO mess, NO pain, NO ingrowns. You don't even feel it! Take advantage of their promotion as well, buy 6 treatments and get 2 free! You do need to shave just before the appointment and have zero lotion or product on. Below you'll find progress for each treatment. I hope you are have just as an amazing experience as I am!
Half legs laser treatment (12/14/17): NO pain at all during the treatment. In 4 weeks, I only shaved once for the actual appointment. I had very light hair growth by my 4th week -- you know when you wax and 2 weeks in your hair starts growing back, that's the kind of growth I had MINUS the in-growns. I was so pleased with my appointment I decided to add on full legs and under arms going forward.
Full legs & under arms laser treatment (1/12/18): Once again NO pain at all, I felt a slight pinch on my inner thighs, but that was barely noticeable. Since it was my first time doing thighs, by the 4th week I had very little hair growth as if I had just waxed and it was growing back in. My half legs, since this was their second treatment showed ZERO hair growth. I didn't have to shave once since the appointment and it felt great to not have to worry about this on vacation. My underarms had the most drastic improvement by far, I did a light shave right after the appointment and ever since I haven't experienced hair growth there at all and it's been 4 weeks! I'm so shocked and grateful. I really hope it stays away and I don't get carried away by not checking if I have to shave or not hehe.
Full legs & underarms laser treatment (3/2/18): it’s been 7 weeks since the last appointment and I found some patches of hair on the sides of my legs around the 6th week, but the rest of my legs and underarms are completely clear! I can see the pores decreasing as well, which is awesome. On the 7th week though, I felt like a lot of the patches were slowly getting bigger with more hair growing. Am I getting spoiled by having no hair growth for over a month? I think so. Hopefully in due time though that I won’t have to deal with these patches again. Honestly I don’t even bother shaving the patches until the appointment because the hair that did grow back were very thin and were barely visible! So when I went for my treatment this time around I asked why am I seeing more hair growth than usual and it’s because my appointment was delayed by 3 weeks. We have to stay on top of the hair growth cycle to eliminate it in the best manner. Fortunately, it’s really easy to get back on track by scheduling your next appointment 4 weeks out. As usual, this laser hair treatment didn’t hurt. If I had to say where I did feel a pinch it would be near my inner thighs. Other than that, it was super fast and painless! I scheduled my next appointment 4 weeks out, can't wait to see how these results do!
Full legs & underarms (4/3/18): it's been about 4-5 weeks since my last appointment and I'm happy to say I'm back to no hair growth on my legs! I did experience hair "growth" on my legs in the second week, but that was actually the hair follicles falling out. Once all the hair fell out on my legs, I didn't see anymore hair growth! My underarms just grew light and extremely thin hair just last week, but I haven't seen hair growth up until then. My appointment was once again was painless and extremely thorough to eliminate the chances of patches. The technician said to expect hair follicles to appear 14 days after the laser treatment because that's when they tend to fall out. With summer hopefully around the corner (since spring has let us down) I can't wait to show you how the pores have decreased on my legs as well!
Full legs & underarms (5/8/18): I have to say I love the progress that I'm seeing and truly getting spoiled. I believe around the 4th week (aka last week) I saw some baby hair growing back in tiny spots over my legs and a little spot in one of my underarms, so I did a quick shave. Nothing grew back and it's been a week--so I'm excited! Today is my fifth appointment so I believe the laser will continue reinforcing the zero hair growth or causing hair to fall out if there are any (which was what the baby hair patch was). As usual it's painless and super quick. I love seeing these girls too, they're super genuine and very thorough!
Full legs & underarms (6/18/18): So my hair growth has been pretty phenomenal. I've been spoiled with barely having to shave. The week before my appointment, I noticed a lot of light hair growing back in patches especially around my knees and thighs. It wasn't really noticeable, but I did shave. Also, I learned something--try to avoid using harsh scrubs especially in sensitive areas like your underarms, I ended up creating scabs after scrubs and having to postpone this appointment a week later so that they'd heal. Anyway, I let Asna know of my concern how light hair is growing back and she said it's a sign that the laser is working, but light hair is the hardest to target so in order to beat it, you increase the intensity of the laser. Once again, most of my legs the laser is painless, just around the surrounding Brazilian area do the pinches sting a bit more. My level of intensity has gradually gone up from level 16 to 22 so I'm proud and it's still tolerable. I'm on my 5th full treatment and results have been amazing. I always think to myself, why didn't I just start with full body.
Full legs & underarms (7/30/18): I've really been enjoying my laser hair results. First of all, I haven't experienced in-growns in forever so I had to remind myself to tell you guys that. It's been awesome and has really helped prevent any new markings on my legs. Second of all, I don't shave. I really don't shave my legs. There's BARELY any growth and if there is, it's extremely light and unnoticeable hair. I love it. Recently though on my underarms, I've had to shave 2-3 times. Not sure what's going on with my hormones, but hair has been growing back only in my underarms. This time at my appointment, Asna has once again upped the laser intensity on both my underarms and legs. On my legs it still feels very painless, if I feel any stings it would be around my inner thighs. My underarms with the newest level of intensity (and probably the highest she'll have me go at level 20) I do feel stings of pain especially deep in my armpit, however, that's probably the only area. Luckily the underarm area is super small and goes by fast, so I don't feel the pain too long. I have 2-3 treatments left and I'm loving how effective it is on my legs and praying the same for my underarms. Love it!
Full legs & underarms (9/14/2018): I haven’t shaved since my last laser hair appointment and my legs have been 98% clean shaven. I do see light hair growth, but because it’s SO light I don’t bother shaving. Because the hair growth isn’t everywhere, it’s literally one or two hairs I totally forgo the shaving. Same thing for my underarms, they’re so clean I honestly forget to even check if there’s any hair growth. I always catch one or two light hairs, but it’s still not enough for me to bust out my razor. At my appointment, we stayed at the same level of intensity due to my skin tone and to prevent any burns. Asna did an awesome job lasering the back of my legs to make sure none of that peach fuzz tries to go back. I love my decision to laser and can’t wait to see how it lasts! I have one more appointment and then I’m set (touch-ups in the future).
Full legs & underarms (11/03/2018): So let’s talk about my progress in between treatments and so far. I’ve been SO spoiled, I know I keep saying that, but I can’t emphasize it enough. I literally don’t have razors on deck, if I ever needed to shave. I had to go out and buy some to shave for this appointment. So because I was so spoiled by the flawless results, I haven’t really been checking my legs and underarms either. When it finally came time to shave for my last appointment today, that’s when I noticed, hey I actually do have hair growth. So I would say about 25% of my hair had grown back, but I didn’t notice it for SO long because it was the thinnest hair ever. It’s literally lighter than peach fuzz, so I couldn’t see it when I was changing my clothes. I only noticed it under the bathroom light and when I looked closely. I told Nasma what happened and she said, it’s completely normal. The laser’s purpose is to reduce hair growth and that it has done tremendously. I just finished up my appointment, same laser levels as per usual. It was a little more painful than usual just because I had finished my period and your body is more sensitive than usual. Other than that, it went perfectly. We expect to do touch ups every 3-4 months, which I plan on doing so on a need basis. So what did I think of all my treatments so far? This has been the most outstanding laser hair removal experience. I didn’t have to purchase any hair removal materials for like 2-3 months at a time. I didn’t have to wait for my hair to grow a certain length to remove it, dealt with zero ingrowns, my legs ALWAYS looked clean (even if there was peach fuzz, no one can see it). It’s only 8 treatments, versus waxing is at least once a month and it can get so expensive. Not to mention all the ingrowns, pain, lack of long term effect and time consuming waxing can be. I 100% vouch for this laser at the Luxe Laser & Beauty Spa and I’m so happy with my results. I hope you guys love your experience as well! NEW Clients can mention my name for 20% off your treatment (excludes packages) or if you decide to go with a package, you can get buy 6 treatments and get 2 free, as well as have 20% of the package donated to Syria! I love them, I’m going to miss Nesma, but I’ll be back for touch-ups!
POST TREATMENT
10/01/2018: I started noticing very light hair growth all over my legs after my last treatment so I shaved (a month after last treatment) and I didn’t see much hair growth again.
01/15/2019: I noticed light hair growth again mostly on my legs. My underarms grew very thin and fine hair. I shaved again to remove the hair and I see now that a week or two post shaving the light hair growth begins. The hair growth is still nothing in comparison to what my hair was like on my legs and underarms. It grows back very slowly and thin. It’s barely noticeable until it grows long.
3/15/2019: I’ve been shaving once a month now and I’m starting to experience some in-growns again as well as dark spots are coming back, but very little and nothing in comparison to waxing. I contacted Luxe Laser to schedule some touch-up treatments, which I’m looking forward to. My hair growth is still very light, but to keep the slow and avoid spotting on my legs, I’d like to start doing touch-ups.
4/05/2019: I got my first touch-up treatment since I finished up my 8 treatment package. I thought I’d do it now since a) I have time b) before I get tan in the summer. I was shaving about every 4 weeks and my hair growth was extremely slow. I did notice my second ingrown on my leg and I wanted to stay on top of it by scheduling a touch-up appointment. Having to shave only every 4 weeks with barely any hair growth, is still worth the pricing that I’ve invested into laser. With waxing, hair grows back every 2 weeks, not to mention the wait time and all the unfortunate in-growns that comes with it. I met with my girl Nesma and we touched up my underarms, my thighs and legs. She stuck with the same level of intensity as our last treatment, which was slightly painful since I wasn’t as used to it. As usual it went super swift and quickly. I really enjoy their laser not just for hair removal, but also because it helps lighten the scars on my legs, takes care of in-growns for a long time (I haven’t seen an ingrown for a whole year) and magically helps with the dryness on my legs as well. I’ll probably a schedule a touch-up on as needed basis. Let’s see when I’ll need the next one!
8/05/2019: I got my second touch-up treatment since I finished my 8 treatments. I absolutely LOVED not having to shave all summer long, not literally because I did end up shaving twice this summer, but the hair growth was SO thin nobody can see it except me. I ended up going back for a second touch-up treatment because I noticed the hair growth was coming back a little quicker and I liked the rate that it was at previously. Spoiled, I know. As our hormones continue to fluctuate so will our hair growth. Also besides of the lack of hair growth, the spots and texture on my legs have significantly improved. It’s such a drastic and positive change that I really do look forward to showing a little skin nowadays. Not to mention my underarms have been extremely pleasant, they haven’t darkened and rarely do I have to worry about them. It’s seriously a luxury that I’ll continue to invest in because waxing and other hair removal methods are NOT worth it. They cause more problems like scarring and in-growns, you have to remove your hair more often and it can get pretty pricey. Laser hair removal is the choice of method for me.
March 2020: I’m pregnant and I was wondering how my hair growth would be during this journey. I’ve been taking prenatal vitamins, which encourage hair growth of course. I did notice light hair growth on my legs and underarms, however, it is extremely light. I am really pleased with this treatment because I only had to shave my legs twice and it pretty much got rid of the light hair growth. As for my underarms, there’s extremely light stragglers that I’ll take a dry razor to wipe once a month. The results have been great!
