While busy winning two gold metals this Olympics so far, the most decorated gymnast of all time took a moment to address the haters. “Next time you wanna comment on a black girls hair. JUST DON’T,” Simone Biles wrote on her recent Instagram story.
And as the athlete shuts down both the competition and the internet trolls, her hair stylist Jaz Johnson has provided us with exactly what Biles uses for her healthy hair routine during the Games and in everyday life.
Also deemed by Sofia Richie Grainge as her “holy grail” hair product, the viral Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask is the gymnast’s go-to. Johnson tells THR, “When [Biles] trains, her hair is under constant tension from being in a bun or a ponytail [so] the K18 mask helps revitalize the strands from the inside and helps improve her overall hair health.” It’s a must-have for restoring keratin levels and rebuilding weak or brittle strands. Bonus: it’s currently on sale at Target (along with K18’s entire inventory of products).

As for washing, Biles alternates between K18’s Peptide Prep Detox Shampoo and the Damage Shield pH Protective Shampoo, depending on if it’s a detox or standard wash day. The former is a great alternative to harsh detox formulas as it breaks down product buildup without drying out or stripping the hair. She also uses the Damage Shield Protective Conditioner. (Heads up: you can save when buying the Damage Shield shampoo and conditioner as a set.)

When it comes to competition, it’s all about the K18 Molecular Repair Hair Oil for Biles. According to Johnson, “It’s great at reducing frizz and flyaways which are bound to happen when you are doing such high intensity twists and turns.” Unlike many other hair oils on the market, this one is lightweight and intended for all hair types. It can be used on both damp or dry hair.
