As most naturalistas know, trying to find new hair products that work for you can almost feel as if it’s a full time job! Although it’s impossible to create a natural hair routine that works for everyone, these are 5 products that you need in your life to keep your natural hair happy, healthy and slayed!
1. Cantu Shea Butter Leave in Conditioning Cream
This leave-in treatment helps to keep your hair extra moisturized and super soft after your normal wash routine. You can use this product after you rinse out your regualr condtioner. For best results, you should let the treatment sit in your hair for a few minutes before risning it out. And it’s available at ETC if you’re trying to keep a close eye on your bank account!
2. Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie
All of the Youtubers praise this product for a reason. Whether you are transitioning, texlaxed or have been natural for a while, using this product as the final step in your wash day routine or LOC method can help to deifne your curls and keep them soft! And it smells amazing too!
3. Denman Brush
This brush is an absolute must have for all naturals! Whether your hair is wet or dry, the Denman brush makes detangling easy, and minimizes the amount of hair that is shed in the process. I reccommend seperating your hair into sections before using the Denman brush, then following up by detangling with a wide-tooth comb after using the brush.
4. Argan Oil Eco Styler Gel
This gel is an absolute miracle worker! If you want some extra hold for your braid out, twist out or bantu knots, this should be one of your go to products. This gel helps to keep your hairstyle in place without drying your hair out and making it feel hard and crunchy. If you want to slick your edges/baby hairs down, I suggest using this gel along with a toothbrush or soft bristle brush, then wrapping your hair with a silk scarf for 10-15 minutes.
5. Aussie Moist Conditoner
Although this product isn’t branded specifiaclly for naturals, it’s absolutely amazing. This conditoner helps to make your hair super soft, and makes detangling super easy. And it will leave your hair smelling awesome which is always a plus. For less than $3.00 a bottle, this product is an absolute steal!
