Favorite Products
Here is a list of my personal favorites when it comes to hair care products. More will be added as I find them.
Don't forget that everyone has different hair type, texture and opinions of what they want products to do for their hair. This list is based on my hair type, texture and my personal goals of how I want my hair to feel and look like.
To find the most suitable products for your hair I suggest you do some research! Google, YouTube and various other sources can be used to find the products you are looking for. Make sure to read reviews and list of ingredients, know what you are looking for and what you are buying!
Please read my post about my reviews.
CLEANSER
(Note that I have no list of schampoos since most curly product lines don't use schampoos, they have cleansers, and I avoid schampoos - containing sulfates - since they strip the hair of moisture.)
- Kinky Curly Come Clean: Removes product build up, cleanses the hair without stripping it of moisture. With organic products!
- Bentonite Clay: Natural product that cleans the hair well without stripping it. Read the review!
- Afrocenchix Swish: Great cleanser that doesn't strip you hair from moisture. Read the review!
CONDITIONER

- Kinky Curly Knot Today: This rinse out our leave in conditioner leaves the hair nice and soft. Contains organic products!
- Aubrey Organics White Camilla Ultra-Soothing Conditioner: Good rinse out conditioner with organic products. Read the review!

- Yves Rocher Reparation Leave In Conditioning Cream: Can be found on the ground. Read the review!
- TRESemmé Naturals Nourishing Conditioner: It's cheap, a little goes a long way and it can be bought on the ground. Read the review!
- Original Moxie Quench Deep Conditioner: This is supposed to be a DC, but I like it more, no I love it as a rinse out conditioner. It leaved my hair soft and moisturized. Read the review!
- SheaDo Honey Love Milk: A great leave in made in the Netherlands with a list of fabulous ingredients. Read the review!
DEEP CONDITIONER
- Darcy's Botanicals Deep Conditionind Mask: This is an amazing DC! Works well to leave in for 20-30min as per instruction, or as a DC over night. Leaves the hair feeling healthy and silky soft.
- Anita Grant Rhassoul Deep Condish: My hair loves this DC! It comes in little cubes and you can mix it with whatever liquid you choose. It leaves the hair soft and moisturized. Read the review!
REFRESHER
- Afrocenchix Sheen Daily Moisture: This is a great product to keep your hair from drying out. Can be used on top of leave in conditioner, gels and other products, refreshes and helps the hair to stay moisturized. Read the review!
STYLING PRODUCTS
- Kinky Curly Curling Custard: This is a thick gel that I use when I want extra hold when styling. Works well with Knot Today as a leave in conditioner.
- Darcy's Botanicals Natural Coils Curling Jelly: A thin, light weight jelly that can be used instead of gel. Works wonders in my hair. Read the review!
- Original Moxie Lux Locks: Nothing has worked on my two strand twists (and twist outs) as this product. Nothing compares! Read the review!
OILS
- Afrocenchix Seal: This is my go to product when I have my hair in an updo and my scalp is exposed which causes it to itch like crazy. This oil mixture eliminates the itch and keeps my scalp happy. Read the reivew!
- Avocado Oil: This is one of my favorite oils for hair and skin. It's less thick than Olive Oil and it has a lot of vitamin E which both hair and skin love.
- Shea Butter: This is another one of the favorites of most naturals, it is great for moisturizing your hair and skin. You can buy it refined or in different products.
- Jojoba Oil: A great and light weight oil that helps the skins reproduce its own
USEFUL TOOLS
- Water Spray Bottle: I can't do my hair without moisture. Most curlies can't. This is my trusted friend. I actually have two, one with plain water and one with a mixture of leave in & water. I use it daily to refresh my hair.
- Bobby Pins: If you have read a few posts in my blog you will have picked up that I have a love for Bobby Pins. They are great for up dos, any tyoe of styling, and just to tuck hair away that is not doing what you want it to do.
- Wide Tooth Comb: I own a few different ones as well. All mine are plastic and vary a bit in the space between the teeth of the comb. I use my wide tooth combs to detangle in the shower sometimes (after applying conditioner), to do different styles and I do use them for parting the hair even though the rat tail is better suited for that.
- Rat Tail Comb: Great for parting the hair when doing cornrows or other styles. (I never comb my hair with this comb, the teeth are two close together and it would just get stuck in my hair)
