More than ever, there is a serious natural hair revolution going on right now. I have so many friends who are either transitioning to natural hair or have natural hair and need help picking products. One friend in particular, my old college roomie, is in Korea and needs help picking products that can be bought easily online or picked up in a store. So here you have it!
1. Deep Conditioner: I suggest a homemade mixture of honey and olive oil. A few tablespoons of each coat the shaft and lock in moisture. Leave in for an hour, rinse, and use your favorite conditioner to cleanse (co-poo!).
2. Leave-In Conditioner: A water-based mixture of the deep conditioner ingredients, the conditioner you used to cleanse, and raw shea butter oil in a spray bottle. Works wonders for refreshing and waking up curls in the morning.
3. Smooth N' Shine Polishing, Gellation Gel can be found at most drugstores for less than $4. The alcohol-free gel was my only product I used when I first BC'd. It was my equivalent to aloe vera gel.
4. Organic Root Stimulator Lock & Twist Gel is perfect for twist-outs. The putty consistency doesn't weigh the hair down. Also found at most drugstores, this gel keeps my hair manageable and pretty.
5. Soft Sheen Carson Sta Sof Fro Rub On Hair & Scalp Conditioner: My best kept secret, this gel is also great for fluffy twist-outs. A little goes a very long way!
6. Garnier Fructis Style Play Style Reshapeable Putty: I'm not usually a fan of commercial brands for my hair, but Garnier Fructis has become a favorite! Available just about everywhere, this putty is great for braid-outs and for fluffing up a great hairstyle.
7. Ecostyler Protein Styling Gel is a great alternative to Kinky Curly Curling Custard. Great for holding a curl, Ecostyler is a quick fix for on-the-go hair.
And there you have it gals (and guys)! What's in your hair arsenal?
