The Best Products for Natural Hair and More!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UNCG chapter.

For a few years now I’ve had natural hair and I love it! So I thought, why not try to be all around natural and try natural soaps and lotions? I want to let you guys know some of my favorite natural products that are great and where you can purchase these items! 

So, let’s start off with shampoo and conditioner. I love, love, love anything Shea Moisture and OGX. My favorite Shea Moisture shampoo and conditioner is Coconut and Hibiscus, but all the other ones are just as great! And my favorite OGX shampoo and conditioner is Argan Oil of Morocco. These can be found at any local Walmart, Target, Walgreens, CVS and any beauty supply store.

Now that we’re done with washing and conditioning I want to tell you guys about some great styling products. When being natural the number one thing to remember is keeping your hair hydrated and moisturized. For my twist outs I use Shea Moisture’s Coconut and Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie or their Styling Milk, I also sometimes use Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In Conditioning Repair Cream and any Eco Styler gel. To keep my curls refreshed I use Cantu Shea Butter daily oil Moisturizer or As I Am Leave-In Conditioner.  I use many more products but if I named them all you’d be reading all day! These are just my favorite and they too can be bought at any local Walmart, Target, Walgreens, CVS and any beauty supply store.

So our hair is now done, lets move on to our bodies. My new-found love is natural body products! Just like my hair products I love Shea Moisture and OGX. I love Shea Moisture bar soaps as well as their body wash, my favorite soap is the Raw Shea Butter soap, but all, and I do mean all, of them are great and recommended by me! Another soap I enjoy is Dr. Bronners Pure Castile Soap, my favorite scents are the Citrus and Peppermint, but all the scents are great! To keep my body moisturized I use Shea Moisture and OGX, I love their lotions. In addition to the lotions I use pure Shea Butter, Mango Butter and Coconut Oil. Being natural has helped my skin and hair so much, and I encourage all of you to try it too! There are many more products out there for you to test out and find what works best for you!
