Mango Bare Shoulders Striped Dress

This striped dress can be worn off both shoulders or as one-shoulder neckline, thanks to its versatile bowtie design. The 100% cotton fabric lands around a midi length, hitting right under the knees.

Edikted Mango Bare Shoulders Striped Dress

Strapless dresses like this one were made for an oceanside getaway. You get breeziness from the exposed shoulders and collarbone, while the rest of the garment falls down to your mid-calf.

I'm especially a sucker for its lacy collar. This 50% cotton, 50% viscose dress buttons all the way up and ties in the back to further shape your look around the waist. This striped dress would look adorable with some simple ballet flats to channel a very European vibe.

Sovere Rhythm Stripe Mix Dress

I'm really obsessed with drop-waist dresses right now. They're super elongating and flattering on anyone!

Plus, the tank-style top is high-coverage, so you won't have to make many adjustments to your outfit throughout the day.

This easy-to-wear cotton modal midi is begging to be worn with your coolest gold earrings and some comfy sandals. It's nicely loose-fitting, but cinches along the waist with an attached tie belt.

Since all summer calls for is denim shorts and tank tops (it’s a uniform at this point), I set out to finally find the perfect white tank top. To me, the perfect white tank top can be worn alone, with short sleeve button-ups, and as a reliable liner for sheer going out tops. I never landed on a style that hit all my meticulous marks – that was, until now.

The Ultra-Crop Rib-Knit Tank Top from Old Navy is one I’m seriously excited to put on, and I’m tired of gatekeeping it!

This square-neck tank top is made from a ribbed material that’s shockingly not super see-through. It's a bit sheer, but I'm never detrimentally self-conscious that someone can see right through it (been there, done that). It has some nice thick straps that are always compatible with the bralettes I like to wear (the Hanes String Cotton Bralettes, to be exact), which makes getting ready so painless. More importantly, it fits my body just right without being restrictive, rubbing, or overly revealing.

I truly think this pick is my white tank soulmate. Another thing I really love about it is its subtly cropped length. It doesn’t fall past my natural waist, nor does it come up too short. It lands just at my belly button, which is ideal for pairing with any rise of pants, shorts, or workout bottoms. I’ve sported it with everything from slacks to biker shorts and it looks insanely good.

Oh, and did I mention it’s extremely cheap? I bought it on sale for $6 (originally $13), but right now, it only costs $4. Mind = blown. Plus, you can find it in 12 more colors and patterns!

Since it’s so affordable, I had to buy literally 5 more white tanks. I also ended up snagging it in black, green, and pink.

The size range is massively impressive, too, as opposed to other tank top offerings I’ve seen from similar retailers. This tank top is shoppable in regular sizes XS-4X, tall sizes XS-XXL, and petite sizes XS-XXL. I'm a size medium for reference. So, shoutout to Old Navy for ensuring people of all sizes can be included in the magic that is the Ultra-Crop Rib-Knit Tank Top.

Old Navy Ultra-Crop Rib-Knit Tank Top

I'm not the only one tuned in to this tank's amazingness. According to the Old Navy site, 1,821 shoppers have awarded this pick 5 stars, and it has a 4.75/5 star rating overall.

Promising reviews:

"Love love love the material of this tank top! Not overly thick but nice and supportive. Great coverage overall. 10/10."

"Loved it so much I had to buy it in every color."

"Looks great with high-waisted shorts! Great price and color options!"

"These crop tops are not too short, not too long, but just right. Perfect for those who do not want to reveal too much skin."

SheaMoisture Hair Mask

Dr. Ross Kopelman recommended this hair mask from SheaMoisture, noting that it will help heal your hair cuticles and allow products to more deeply penetrate the hair. This is exactly what we're looking for, since with low porosity hair, products have a hard time reaching your hair cuticles and fully absorbing. This will also help any breakage you might've gotten given your hair type!

Kinky Curly Knot Today Leave-In Conditioner

This was another great leave-in recommended by Dr. Kopelman to help repair breakage and attract moisture. He says that it has glycerin and honey which both help your low porosity hair to really retain the moisture in a light, non-greasy way.

The Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo

If you're needing a bit of a deeper cleanse but have very sensitive hair, then this recommendation from Dr. Kopelman might be just what you're looking for! He let us know that this shampoo is thorough and effective, yet still gentle for any sensitive hair-types! According to his solid advice, you only need to use it once a month to remove any buildup that might be preventing your hair from being able to fully absorb moisture!

The Rootist AHA Pre-Shampoo

Lead Chemist and Head of R&D for The Rootist, Kseniya Popova, says that this pre-shampoo is great for the low porosity hair gals! She gave us great insight by saying, "This pre-shampoo treatment is fantastic for those with low porosity who want to target product build-up and excess oil. The alpha hydroxy acids glycolic acid and lactic acid and apple cider vinegar help to gently exfoliate without stripping natural, healthy oils that need to coat the hair."

BioBrew Fermented Strengthening Serum

Kseniya Popova also told us about this great strengthening serum from her company, The Rootist! She says that it is a great serum that has super nourishing ingredients like moringa oil, along with vitamin C that help to condition cuticles and boost hydration. And bonus! They added a heat-protecting active, for up to 450 degrees, that is super beneficial to low porosity hair when using hot tools like curling irons and hair dryers.

Strengthen Concentrated Shampoo and Conditioner

Kseniya also recommended this amazing shampoo and conditioner duo from her company that she says is great for low porosity hair. She explained that they help to cleanse the roots, scalp, and hair without causing damage or stripping moisture — exactly what you need for cleansing low porosity hair without stripping away all the natural oils and moisture excessively. Kseniya said, "It is necessary to strengthen low porosity hair fibers because they are prone to brittleness and breakage. The Strengthen Concentrated Shampoo contains yuzu ceramides and hydrolyzed proteins that will help to strengthen the hair fibers of low porosity hair. And the Strengthen Concentrated Conditioner contains coating emollients, such as coconut oil, acai oil, rice brand and passion fruit oils that lock in necessary moisture" This means that you'll really be able to lock in moisture, down to the root!

Pura D'or Apple Cider Vinegar Shampoo

We got a great recommendation from celebrity hairstylist, Clyde Haygood, when it comes to drier low porosity hair. He says this shampoo will be great because it infuses biotin, keratin and caffeine to boost hair health and shine in a lightweight formula. This mean it won't be too heavy or greasy, but still helping to retain moisture.

Pura D'or Hair Thinning Therapy

Dealing with hair thinningand low porosity? Well, hair expert Clyde Haygood has just the thing for you. He said this mask is one of his favorite products for how it hydrates the hair, targeting both hair thinning and low porosity. He also added, " Using a hair mask once a week is also a great way to strengthen strands and protect hair from heat styling damage. I also love that it’s free from harsh chemicals, hypo-allergenic, vegan and cruelty free which is ideal for all hair types." Sounds like just what we're looking for!
